It was a couple of weeks ago that a friend of mine came over for coffee with her new baby that she had March 5...I had met baby prior to that day but baby was sleeping so I didn't have a chance to hold her...Well a couple of weeks ago I had that chance.... My friends baby was the first baby that has been in my arms since my babygirl that I lost almost 2 years ago...It was a great added healing experience for me and I'm happy for my friends that are expecting or just had babies...I will never forget my little girl but am moving on and am at peace with her passing!

Oh that is wonderful news, I am not a religios person but I am spiritual and in this way of thinking I believe when we lose someone from our lives they really do watch over us, I believe your little baby would be watching over you and may even come back to you in the future, I remember when my father passed away I read a lot of books about spirits and such and I went to a spiritulist festival and whent to a lady there that drew peoples spirit guides..she told me there was a man standing behind me, she started to sketch, when I looked at the sketch I cried as even though she sketch an American Indian, he had my fathers face...I told a friend about it and she laughed at me until she saw the sketch, she too could see my father in that sketch...this lady told me I should go to the Spiritulists Church room there at the festival as they do readings so I did immediately, this woman there told me I had a little girl standing near me at that time but i didn't know any little girl who had passed away, but this woman told me some veryinteresting things an most came true...it wasn't until montha later i went to the actual Spiritualist church, I went with some friends and for some reason I was taken to a back room for my reading, my friends were all in the main room.. A lady there told me to come in and she actually got in touch with my father but the strange thing was she told me how much my father loved children, she said she knew that because in actaul fact it was her little daughter who had passed away that had brought my father to me, hence the little girl who was standing behind me at that first reading...she also explained why I was brought to the back room, she said she doesn't normally do readings but she just rang up the Church and said she was needed and asked if they would give her somewhere, so i believe your little girl will always be around you....just believe...

That is truly great. I would have no idea how it feels to lose a child. I'm glad you have been able to heal to this point, and to have taken such promising steps.

It's been along road for me that is for sure and I think about her and miss her and love her each and everyday but advice that I've been given has really helped me through this...I will never forget or get over the loss of my daughter but I have moved on and it's getting easier!

I remember that day very well as you came over for coffee with your friend and her new baby so I could meet the baby too! I just feel bad for "nominating" you to have a turn holding baby not knowing that you hadn't held her yet, and hadn't held a baby since the one you lost! I can't apologize enough for that! I am really proud of you too for doing it, I can only imagine how hard it must have been, yet healing at the same time! I told you you were a strong person! Much Luv & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear xx

at first i salute u for your behaviour. in this busy and self centred world, how many person can be happy with others, perhaps a few. above all every baby is the gift of god and if u be begrudge to your friend's baby then god will not forgive you. now u are in touch of god, if u believe him. and god will definitly fulfil your needs. i shall also pray for u. again salute friend. take care.

Honestly I would first like to say that if I did not hold my friends baby that would not make my self-centered....The last baby I held before hers is my precious baby who is 6 feet underground a Mother who has lost a baby a child or what have you GRIEVES in her own time...The nurses at the hospital told me they have seen cases where Mothers who have lost a baby can't come to that ward for months maybe even years...For me it's a healing experience but as a Mother who has gone through it personally can see why....I'm not coming down on you and I appreciate your response but the way it's written is in a bit of a negative way against some Mothers who lost a baby who can not hold another baby!

I lost a niece in January of 2005, so I know how difficult the healing process can be. It never goes away, but day to day does get easier. Im so glad that you were able to hold a baby to help with your healing. Babies really are a wonderful gift!

So very true that are a wonderful gift and I truly believe holding another baby has helped as this month marks two years I'm at peace and am moving on and it gets easier but I still miss and think of her and miss her on a daily basis!
