AIBU wave of light for baby loss.

[3littlebadgers]

Ok I might be a tad U to post here, but there was another lovely thread from a lovely poster that didn't get much traffic.
Just a little reminder to anyone who would like to take part. To remember all of the precious and beautiful babies that have sadly been lost there is a wave of light this evening. Everyone is invited to light a candle at 7pm in all time zones (apologies if this is late for anyone) to participate in a worldwide wave of light in observance of baby loss awareness day.
I will be lighting mine for my beautiful angel girl born sleeping in March this year. I miss you so very much my darling but the pain of missing you is a badge I will wear with pride because it means I got to hold you if only for a little while.
to all of the other families who are lighting candles tonight instead of tucking their babies up for the night.

Crying buckets.

I have made a decision today though. I am returning to counselling.

I thought I was doing OK but I'm not.

I owe it to my 3 angels to be OK but at the moment the pain is all consuming

Here they are.

Funinthesun I hope something can be sorted for you soon my lovely

Thinking of everyone on this thread.

flambola James is beautiful.

Candle lit for my loss at 11+5 in March this year. Currently 26 weeks, and whilst very grateful am also absolutely terrified. I don't know anyone else in rl who has had a loss, this place has been a godsend for support when I need it. My baby should have been a month old tomorrow.

Go for it Fun.

It's so important.

We all pretend we're OK (the ask my mum how she is poem is very apt) and at some point it has to come out.

I'm in floods now but spent the time lighting my candles listening to dh and DD howling with laughter and I feel like the luckiest and the saddest woman in the world simultaneously.

Badgers, I'm going to post a note on my thread directing people to this one - much busier.

Thanks again. X

To all of you pregnant after a loss there is a thread called Angels and Rainbows www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2366571-Angels-and-Rainbows-remembering-our-angels-and-praying-for-our-rainbows? if anyone can do a better clicky link. It has been a god send for me, just in case you'd like the e tea support. There have been lots of beautiful rainbows born over the last few weeks and a few more, special ones to come quite soon.

My candles for the little ones I never got to meet.

Never did carry to full term and have adopted our two little angels but they are never far from my mind.

Thank you all.

I have always been 'the strong one' but I can't do it anymore.

It is time to share and release some of the pressure.

Troopers I feel the same about the Ask My Mum poem. I walk around with a smile on my face even when I am dying inside. I think it is my default mode since losing my little Azra.

Fun, I am your sister. Be selfish for a change. X

Fun we are always here if you need an ear.

Thank you for this.

I have candles lit for my son, who would be 18 next week, and also a little one I never got to meet.
Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light;
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Arsecandle - you've finished me off

He's a favourite poet of mine and we had that poem at our wedding.

So special

..... And that was all about me.

AC, so sorry you have to be on this board with us x

Candles burning bright.

Love to everyone who is living with loss.

Xx

This was a life that hardly begun
no time to find your place in the sun
no time to do all you could have done
but we loved you enough for a lifetime

No time to enjoy the world and its wealth
No time to take life down off the shelf
no time to sing the song of yourself
though you had enough love for a lifetime

Those who live long endure sadness and tears
but you'll never suffer the sorrowing years
no betrayel, no anger
no hatred, no fears
Just love, only love in your lifetime..

In a baby castle just beyond my eye,
my baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who am I to wish him back into this world of strife?
No, play on my baby you, you have eternal life.
At night when all is silent, and sleep forsakes my eyes,
I’ll hear his tiny footsteps come running to my side.
His little hands caress me, so tenderly and sweet,
I’ll breathe a prayer and close my eyes
And embrace him in my sleep.
Now I have a treasure that I rate above all others.
I have known true glory
And I am still his mother

A belated virtual candle being lit at MNHQ. Our thoughts tonight are with everyone who has lost a precious little one. to you all and your babies.

for my darling niece

for of you who have lost precious babies.

I lit my candle tonight for the three early losses we had, I'm blessed to have two little girls now and I hope there's some sunshine behind the clouds for all of you

I am so sorry for your losses. Words don't really do it justice but I feel your pain through the pictures and the poems.

Flambola I can't explain why (will outself) but your post made me sob. I am thinking of you so hard right now.
