- Today marks what would have been my daughter's 2nd birthday. My daughter, Gemma Rose, was born still on 11/9/12. I was 39 weeks and I lost her because of a cord accident. This is and always will be the hardest day of the year. Life has forced me...
- I was just thinking how a year has passed and we are doing ok. It's funny how one little thing can send you into a tailspin. I work with a lot of people who I might only see 1-2 times per year. We might chat casually but we really don't know one...
- Well, today is the day. My Gemma Rose would have been one year old today. I have been sad most of the week thinking about the things I would have liked to have been doing to celebrate Gemma's first birthday. I know there will be lots of tears...
- Well, after 4 months of being off of work, I finally went back on 3/1. I have survived but I feel forced to be normal. I can't break down when and if I need to because then people will talk and speculate that I'm not doing well or I'm not the same...
- Well, today was the day. I started packing up Gemma's room. It has been almost 4 months since I lost Gemma. We are putting our house on the market so I figured I would put her things away. I don't know that I was really ready, but I didn't want...
- I am just posting this to see if anyone has had a similar experience. I finally opened the mail from today and found a "congratulations" letter from our local Children's Hospital. They were congratulating me on the "precious new addition to our...
- My husband has a large group of friends from his hometown, which is about an hour away. There are a total of 6 couples who get together at least 3-4 times per year. My husband sees and talks to his guy friends more due to their mutual love of...
- I hope that all of us can have some happy news to share in 2013. I pray that the hard times and tests of our strength are over and we can begin a new year with hope for better futures. I'm ready for good things to happen to everyone.
- I have tried really hard to not get upset over people talking about the loss of Gemma. Some people really do care and just tell other people so they can pray for our healing. Yesterday, I found out someone I went to high school with asked a friend...
- I have worked for the same company for 10 years and have known many of my coworkers for the majority of that time. I work for a large company but we work independently so I don't see my coworkers on even a weekly basis. Still, they know me well. ...
- It has been one month since we lost Gemma. I've been thinking about how much pain and sadness we've experienced since that sad day. There have been very dark moments and I have struggled every step of the way but today I asked myself this...
- It has been a little over 3 weeks since we lost Gemma. Everyone knew I was pregnant. Everyone knows that she was stillborn. As if dealing with such a tremendous loss is not enough, we have to deal with other people's crap. We have had a group of...
- I have been trying to listen to music to help me cope with the loss of Gemma. I have also found comfort here from all of you. It's hard to comprehend this type of pain and only we know this burden. While I'm sorry that we have found each other...
- We had Gemma's funeral Mass today. Somehow I feel more at peace today. I miss my baby girl like crazy but I know that she is an angel in heaven and I truly believe that she was watching over us today. This is a roller coaster ride. Most days I...
- I broke down again tonight. I went to buy clothes for my son and daughter to wear to Gemma's funeral on Friday. I was overwhelmed when I saw pretty little girl clothes that I would never get to buy for Gemma. I will never get to buy she and her...
