The loss and heartache of losing a baby is one of the most horrible situations to have to endure in life. To prepare, dream, and plan for your baby for months and then hear the tragic news that your baby has died is devastating. It is important to know that you are not alone. More than 26,000 babies are stillborn each year. Such a large percentage of these babies will never be diagnosed with a known cause of death. I’m sorry that you have to visit my site. I know you or someone close to you is hurting more than words can ever describe. My family has experienced heartache three times this year. Please explore our website to find comfort and support. My heart is with each and every one of you.

Dearest Mommy,

When you wonder the meaning of life and love
Know that I am with you
Close your eyes and feel me kissing you
In the gentle breeze across your cheek
When you begin to doubt that you shall ever see me again
Quiet your mind and hear me
I am in the whisper of the heavens
Speaking of your love

When you lose your identity
When you question who you are
Where you are going
Open your heart and see me
I am the twinkle in the stars
Smiling down upon you
Lighting the path for your journey
When you awaken each morning
Not remembering your dreams
But feeling content and serene
Know that I was with you
Filling your night with thoughts of me

When you linger in the remnant pain
Wholeness seeming so unfamiliar
Think of me and know that I am with you
Touching you through the shared tears of a gentle friend
Easing the pain

As the sunrise illuminates the desert sky
In that breathtaking glory, awaken your spirit
Think of our time together, all too brief, but ever brilliant
When you were certain of your destiny

Know that God created that moment in time, just for us.

Dearest Mommy, I am with you always
