Unfortunately I'm new here, and so very thankful that this community exists. The words, postings and sentiments here have helped me in the last few weeks as my husband and I navigate these new waters. Parents of a dead baby. Different, while nothing and everything has changed.

I just wanted to introduce myself, not only lurk, and be a part of this community.

Foster's story and how I've been dealing since can be found here:

So sorry that you need to join us. It sucks so much to have to be on this path. I am glad you found this place and glad I did too.

I'm so sorry Foster isn't here with you.

The fact everything is the same in my life fills me with a huge sadness. People just seem to expect me to pick up my old life like nothing has changed - they don't understand that everything has changed in ways they just can't see.

Sarah, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear son. I read your story. How unfair to not only lose your baby, but to have to go through such a difficult birth experience.

I also saw your post about feeling alone. The experience of losing a baby is one of the loneliest experiences imaginable. Very few people really understand (and the ones who do have usually gone through it themselves). I am glad you found us, however. We are here for you.

I'm so sorry. These months after losing a child are so incredibly hard. I'm glad you found this place, and I hope it makes you feel a little less alone.

Sarah, I am so very sorry about Foster. He sounds beautiful and I wish he were here with you, where he belongs. I wish you didn't have to know any of this pain but am glad you found this place - it's helped me a lot along the way. Sending much love.

I'm so sorry to hear what happened Sarah and that you don't have Foster home with you.

I'm glad you found this place, but so sorry you needed to.

Thinking of you and your family.

I'm so sorry Sarah. Losing a child is the most isolating, painful thing in the world. It's been almost eighteen months for me and I'm still messed up. Healing takes time and understanding, I'm so glad you've found us. Hugs

Sarah,

I'm so sorry that you've had to join our ranks instead of being with your little man, Foster. What a perfect little name! Thank you for sharing your birth story with us. I hope you can find much hope and help here at Glow.

Much love.

Hi Sarah. I'm so sorry you lost Foster. You've found the right place. These pages are filled with understanding, patience and an amazing amount of support. You will get through this tragedy, though it will be the hardest thing you've ever done. The women here are strong. Lean on them (us).

Oh, Sarah. I am so sorry for everything you've endured since Foster passed away. So, so sorry.

I hope you can find some comfort here. We're hit to sit with you no matter what - you aren't alone.

I'm so sorry your are our people now. I wish I could come to you and sit and hold you. I know how badly this hurts.
