Re: Dealing with a loss (stillbirth)
I can't lie to ya. I got to the part where you were cleaning him and couldn't finish.
See, I'm at work reasding it and it's kind of hard to explain why this 35 yeard old fat bearded man is crying. I have no advice for you sir except try your hardest to stay strong for your wife and the rest of your family. Stay as close as you can to them for a while. I can't even imagine what I would do. If you ever need to speak to a complete stanger don't hesitate to PM me.

Re: Dealing with a loss (stillbirth)
What a beautifully written tribute to your son. I am a member of many pregnancy and birth boards with similar stories and every single one is from a woman's prospective. A father's point of view is even more touching. My heart is breaking for you, I have nothing to offer but my sympathy and condolences. Your strength is inspiring.

Re: Dealing with a loss (stillbirth)
Wow, I never thought I'd have a reason to cry at work. I was wrong. I am so sorry for your loss, just try and keep your head high. Also, echo @ the poster who said that your son knows you loved him. Thankfully, as has been said, it seems you have a great support system in place. That will help you get through this.

Re: Dealing with a loss (stillbirth)
My wife is going to hit 39 weeks on Wednesday. The doctor will induce next weekend if the baby doesn't come by then.
I'm very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine doing everything you did afterward if that happened to us. I think I need to go to bed now and hug my wife.

Re: Dealing with a loss (stillbirth)
private joker, 4 high, bottomset, skunkworks, funkymunky, ImsaKidd, TIEdub14, sarahbellum, Glo-
Thank you. lippy- I think it's a little therapeutic. It's hard to know. It all goes in waves, and some things seem more therapeutic at different times. IggyWH- I don't even know how to go about thinking about that. I will share a paraphrase of something I said when we planted the tree: we had so many hopes and dreams for Allan. So many things we were going to do with him, teach him, show him, learn from him. We are going to have more children. Maybe, when we hope for things for those children, when we have dreams for them, when we see them, maybe we'll see a glimmer of what would have been with Allan. Whatever happens, we will never forget him. I don't think I can answer your question, but I do know that I'm deeply sorry for your family's loss. inside??- Thanks. "Don't worry about not saying the "right" things. Be there for your friends in time of need." QFT. EMc- Thank you. I don't know what people can do. Sometimes, it just helps to know people are there. Sometimes, it helps to have something like poker to fill the time that seems so empty. I'll let you know if I think of something, but thank you so much for asking.
