The Unbornism

Overwhelming excitement to complete devastation in a fraction of a moment is the only way to describe the emotion someone feels when they loose a baby. For each person who has experienced this, although the circumstances could vary, the pain they feel has similarities. The once hopeful, joyous moment is now replaced with the complete sadness along with empty arms. As time passes by, you find ways to come to terms with this sudden loss, however, it is a moment that you never forget as it continues to reside in a place within your mind and deeper inside of your heart, no matter how many days or years pass by.

I would like to share a touching poem with you from a mother who experienced this very kind of loss. Writing this poem is what helped her come to terms with her loss.

At our first ultrasound, you looked perfect

There was only one thing missing

Your sweet little heart beat

When I seen this was true

My heart broke in two

The loss of my baby

The one I never got to meet

Words can’t explain the pain I felt that day

The baby I was anxiously waiting for

Had sadly gone away

I cried many tears, I cried many day

But nothing will bring you back

It’s time I accept that

I will move forward, but not move on

You will be in my heart forever

To me, you will never be gone

For now you are my angel

You rest peacefully in heaven now, with many watching over you

I will find peace, knowing you are watching over me too

By those here on earth

And the ones in heaven you already know

Daddy and I miss you so terribly already

But we will hold you in our arms one day, when the time is ready

Love, Mommy

As alone as you may feel suffering through this time, just know that what you feel has been felt by many others. This does not alleviate your pain, it only lets you know there are others who can relate and will understand. For some this tragedy remains a secret, for some this is only shared with those close to them during that time, you just never realize how many have lived through this kind of loss.
