I love what I do, yet despise it at times. Along with the laughter and fun comes the tears and the heartaches.
While I may never get to meet so many of my mums, they all hold a special place in my heart. I come to know them and their babies and children and they became apart of my extended family.
While my Inbox is open to all, I dread a certain message.
The loss of one of our babies effects the whole group, we feel the pain, we grieve for a baby we do not know, yet that pain is real and the heartache remains with us all for some time.
What am I meant to say?
With tears running down my face I think of the best way to offer my condolences.
When my mind is thinking why the fuck is life so cruel?
I don’t often swear, yet can think of no other words to use.
I will stand by, help, support and do all I can for our mum, yet I can not give her want she wants, that is her baby back.
This mom has gone though so much, yet the one thing that kept her going was the thought of her beautiful baby at the end of it, that has now been taken away from her.
I question my faith at these times.
Rest In Peace our beautiful little Angel. Your mommy will be taken care of, we will all look after her and I know you will always remain with her in that special place only a mommy knows and feels.
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It’s not like the cord
That connects us ’til birth
This cord can’t been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it’s work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it’s there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can’t be destroyed
It can’t be denied.
It’s stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you’re not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised…I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can’t take it away!
