Hello, 


I am new to the group and site. I lost my beautiful daughter 17 days ago. Today, my husband went to pick her up and her urn is so tiny. I was 30 weeks and 2 days when they told us they couldn't find a heartbeat. It was the day before my older daughter's birthday. Part of me died that day. I just don't know how to survive and be the best I can for my 2 year old daughter. Most people truly do not understand.


This has helped me a little. "They say you learn who your real friends are when you have a baby. I disagree, when you lose a baby is when you learn who your real friends are." Author unknown.

I am so sorry you are going through this. My son, Hunter, passed away at 37 weeks on October 9. He was my first born. I can't give you the answer on how you are supposed to survive, because I'm not there yet. I wish you peace and happiness in the future.

We lost our first born son at 32 weeks in January of 2015. I struggled to survive it and it changed me forever. My rainbow baby was born three years ago today. He saved my life. He would likely never have been born if his brother had survived but, on my worst days, I still long for my first. Most days I just try to be grateful for any joy I get to experience in this life. You will never stop missing the beautiful girl you lost. In time the weight of your loss will lighten. For now, all you can do is enjoy the amazing two year old you have. Let her be your strength.

I totally understand your pain, I lost my first ,4 years 3 months ago. That is how long it has taken me to be at peace with that and actually talk about it to strangers. I don't have a rainbow baby, honestly it's only this year I am open to the idea of being a mom again.
Take ur time, do what ever u have to do . The weight does get lighter.
If u need me just ask

I’m so sorry. This is unimaginable. It was my last appointment for my Jaci Klaire when we found out she didn’t have a heartbeat anymore. I was 39 weeks and 6 days. My induction was scheduled for the following Tuesday. Delivering her was an outer body experience. I still wake up thinking it wasn’t real. I pray for your healing. God is with us all.
