As many of you know, I became a part of those statistics 4 years ago when I had a stillborn baby girl at 20 weeks pregnant. And had this tragic event not happened then I would have had 3 April birthday girls instead of 2 and we would be about to celebrate my oldest daughter’s 14th birthday (April 22nd), my middle daughter’s 11th birthday (April 11th), and my angel baby’s 4th birthday (due April 22nd).
Instead we are left with two birthdays, lots of questions, and very few memories not many of which are joyous of my little angel. I don’t want it to be that way though. I want people to remember my angel. I want people to remember all loss parents angel babies. Because the short time they were with us was a blessing no matter what.
I know not everyone has pictures of their angels. Sometimes it happened too soon. Not everyone thinks it’s a good idea to have pictures of the deceased. But even without pictures I know us moms, we don’t forget something like that. And I want to share whatever you have of your babies with all of my readers on my Facebook fan page for the entire month of April.
So here’s what I want you to do. I want you to send me what you got. If you have a picture, that’s wonderful. If you have a picture, but aren’t ready to share that just yet that’s fine too. Send me what you can or are able to share. A name. A date of miscarriage. Expected due date. Whatever makes you think of your angel and smile so we can show the world that these babies, no matter how briefly, did touch our lives in some way. Hopefully for the better. Hopefully we have gone on to do great things.
This is so important in our healing to talk about this so I will never deny women the chance to get it out there. I have seen it do great things. Even if people can be extremely cruel. It’s true, they can be. And not just people on the internet, our own in real life family and friends can be too. But it has been my experience that most people are wonderful about it. And sometimes they even learn something.
So miscarriage, stillborn, or even infant/newborn death please share it with me so I can share it with the world, or at least the 1500 or so people who follow me on Facebook. All you have to do is email me at [email protected] with either your picture(s) and/or miscarriage date and/or stillbirth date and/or date of death with Stillborn Photos as the subject line. I would love to have at least 30 angels to share on my FB page, one for each day in April, but the more the better. So please pass this along and get the word out. Lets share our angels!
