You started out as a tiny miracle Made from the deepest love I’ve ever known

Every minute you were with me Growing and kicking inside your private home

At night I would wonder who you’d look like And map out all of our plans

I would go over every single detail From a baby boy to a great big man

 

Don’t eat this, don’t drink that I watched everything I did

You were going to be perfect and healthy Just the greatest little kid

Who could ask for anything more My life was all complete

A loving husband, a warm home, and a baby My heart could not miss a beat

 

Then things got so confusing Things got way out of hand

They told me there was no heart beat And I just could not understand

Seven months of love you gave me The most precious days of your life

I will never ever forget you Even though you are out of my sight

 

I do nothing but wander around Searching for a clue

Trying to figure out what happened And wondering what I should do

I ask the Heavens above to forgive me Oh please Lord, what have I done

It’s so hard for me to face the day Because you were still my son

 

I Love and Miss You,

Mommy

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES
«    14 of 16    »

She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.

— Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.

— C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

I am strong.

— January, founder of Birth Without Fear

When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.

— John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany

They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite.

— Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
