It's Baby Loss Awareness Week. The theme this year is Stepping Stones.
My path was different with the differnt types of loss I experienced. I think the hardest, in every case, was telling people I had lost my baby.
I've made this thread for mothers and fathers to share or to read and find support.

My late mother would be the first to contribute here.
So much heartbreak before I came along.
Thank you to all the brave mums (and dads) who persevered.

I'm glad your parents got there in the end. You can't replace a lost baby but she must have had such joy watching you grow and thrive.

My mum lost her first born over 50 years ago now, she doesn't talk about it often but on the odd occasion she does and she isn't one to show feelings, so for her to mention it, I know she must have been heartbroken.
Big hugs for everyone x |

It's good that she can talk about it now.

"My daughter was still born, would be 17 this year, my son passed 11 years ago, he would be 23 now. I miss him so much and it's fucking killing me!"
I'm sorry for your pain. Do you have anyone you can talk to?

"It never goes away, we carry the pain in silence but it kills us every day "
It doesn't go away. That's why it's important we have a bit of time when we can share our loss with others. Your pain is yours, but you're not alone.

There are people who have much more heartbreak and no happy ending. I feel blessed!!! |

My Grandparents lost their 16yo daughter in 1979. It was on my Grandad's birthday. I know that the grief never, ever left him. He spoke of her every day, until the day before he died (because I heard him). I'm sure she never left his thoughts, although his death came 42yrs after.
Although I never knew my aunt, I feel like I did. |

"Experienced two miscarriages in my life. Very sad. Respect to those who've lost children. Heart breaking. "
I think men sometimes get forgotten in miscarriage, especially when the miscarriage gets medicalised.
I'm sorry for your loss.

My wife and I lost several babies before we finally had our first. Then there were a few miscarriages inbetween full-term pregnancies. Whether you have kids or not, the loss of a life that you have both created takes a toll, and we remember them every year at Christmas with six special tree decorations. |

Thanks for sharing. I really like the idea of the Christmas tree decorations. They always get to be part of Christmas with you. |

"My grandson was born at 24 weeks and lived for 24 days
The most amazing but heartbreaking 24 days of my life. It is his memory this month x"
My Buddhist friend gave me comfort when they described my son's short life as him being there long enough to complete his task to teach me something before moving on.
Make new memories on your grandson's day.

"my partner lost two babies,, i feel upset writing this now,,"
It's OK to feel upset. It's a distressing and upsetting thing to lose babies.
Take care of yourself, your partner and your relationship.
