Lighting a candle

I will light a candle for all of you, and for all who have lost their precious and irreplaceable babies.

and my deepest sympathy.

My own candles will be for our little Walter, born 6 October 1973, died 30 October 1973 and for DD’s much wanted first baby, her pregnancy terminated at 13 weeks as it such severe chromosome defects as to have been unlikely to survive even until term, also October 2014

My candle is for the baby I lost as 22 weeks. I didnt miscarry for 6 weeks.

We fonly think of the baby as a boy to even up our 2 boys and 3 girls. He was due in October 1979.

Also, the 3 babies DD3 lost very early in her pregnancies while her sisters were carrying babies to full term. A sad time!

Thank you Maw beautifully put.Losing a baby is never something that you can forget or ‘get over’ is it, the best outcome is acceptance.

Such sad stories. I have been fortunate not to have experienced this but will light a candle for all who have. When I was a child, my baby brother died at 9 months.

Thank you for this Maw. I didn’t know about it, but will be lighting several candles. Paddyann, what sad stories. for you.

I lit a candle for all who have suffered this loss. Especially for 3 little grandchildren who were lost before we could meet them.

I'll light one for my daughter who died at 4 days ,her twin who died just 8 weeks into the pregnancy and the other 5 early losses over the 11 years before my last pregnancy in 1988.
Its a pain that never ends.It just becomes easier to live with.

My heart goes out this year to a young friend who lost her baby boy very recently ,he was prem,and doing well.So well she had photographs of him on FB and hundreds of folk congratulating her .How sad he died just a few dayslater.

Selfishly I am glad I didn't have to deal with the grief of all my friends and family when my babies were lost .Sadly that also means that there are very few who know my daughters name .I hope everyone who has suffered loss can find some peace .

Some of us had more than one little loss.

I will light a one for my brother who was born asleep many years ago but my mam never forgot him. He was called Richard.

I will light one for the nephew we never knew born asleep 49 years ago.

I knew we could rely on you maw. Thank you!

Thank you Maw I shall certainly light a candle for my grandson who was taken too soon.

Thank you Maw, brings back the tears but good to know others care.

Thank you Maw.
