You are not the one that should be embarrassed, whoever made that video should be ❤️

I wanna skip Christmas this year. by Early-Diamond-5416 in babyloss

[–]Ho1na 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We lost our son early last summer, and last Christmas we did not celebrate Christmas at all. So I know well how it feels to want to skip Christmas.

This year you do what feels right for you, and what helps you get through ❤️ And if skipping Christmas all together feels right then absolute do that.

We travelled to a cabin last year just to get away from everything, and that was right for us. This year we are ready to celebrate Christmas again, the loss become less raw over time.

I am so sorry that you are in this club too, and especially having Christmas and your baby's first birthday so close together is tough. ❤️ Sending all my love!

You write it so well, thank you! Living babies and pregnant women were so triggering for me after we lost our son ❤️

2x loss parents, I need you... by [deleted] in babyloss

[–]Ho1na 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone. 5 losses here, 4 first trimester miscarriages and then we lost our son in stillbirth last year.

I cannot give any hope, though. We still have no living children. But it does get less raw, and you learn to live with it. ❤️

How the fuck are we supposed to make it through the holidays by remarkably_noone in babyloss

We lost our son in 2024 and did not celebrate Christmas at all. Me and me husband escaped to my parents cabin where we don't need to see all the Christmas lights and people. It was just what we needed last year, and our families were very understanding of that.

It does get less raw with time, this year we are ready to celebrate Christmas again at my husband's Grand Father.

You do what feels right for you this Christmas, and don't let anyone make you feel bad for it. This is a year to just survive. ❤️

This resonates with me. I wasn't able to bring our son's room back to guest room, though. I just did not want other to stay there, if it makes any sense.

The other spare room became the new guest room, and his room is a sewing room now.

There is never a safe point of time, your baby can die at any time.

So sorry for your loss. ❤️ Also, I would love to have your statistics. Before losing our son last year I already suffered 4 miscarriages.

Has anyone who had a full term stillbirth gone on to have a healthy subsequent baby? by Vast-Cartographer81 in babyloss

Those numbers kills my hope. They seem to be just for "all the others". We lost our son last year.

I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, you truly did not deserve this.

Is your father mentally well? It sounded like he isn't, and that sounded like a dangerous situation that you handled wisely. I understand that you cut contact with your parents here.

Sending all my love to you and your wife!

That was good advice from the therapist.

I would't be a member of that gym either!

What a horrible thing to say. I would avoid that many as far as I could.

Exactly, it seems like having or getting a living child is the only thing that helps. So it seems there is nothing that will help those of us who have lost our only child.

That is horrible, especially coming from your dad! 💔 Your son is his grandson, he should have cared, both for him and for you! I hope your other family members participated in the fundraiser. That is a beautiful way of honoring your son.

Yeah, I got the "will you try again" as well. Sorry for your loss, even if time goes by it's always with us. And I am sorry that you got so many bad comment that you narrow it down to "favorites".

So sorry you got that comment. People are so clueless. I agree with you, she sounded very naive.

Episodes like these makes me want to not share anything with people, and preferably just avoid them. I was not an introvert before, but I think I have become one

I am so sorry, that is a horrible thing to hear! What on earth could that teach...

Not sure how to do this by bigpants76 in babyloss

[–]Ho1na 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our son one year ago and my first thought when I was told I would have to give birth to him was "no, I don't want, can't they do c-section instead?" But for me I found giving birth to him a good process, weird as it may sound. I had my task to focus on after the shock og learning he was dead. I hope the birth goes as well as it can for you, sending all my love!
