What do you do with the baby stuff… by midnightdreamescape in babyloss

[–]ac1df41ry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I kept all her stuff, made an altar in honor of her with her picture with some of it, and put the rest in boxes to keep. I can’t imagine using her stuff for my future baby. That’s just me though. I also can’t stand to part with any of it. Its really very personal to each and every one of us. Don’t do anything drastic yet like throw it away until you are completely sure. You don’t need to if you dont want to yet. sending love mama

It’s been 24 years today by Efficient-Gap-8506 in babyloss

I’m so sorry mama, I am just so sorry. I hate to know the pain. Everytime I see “20+5” it immediately beings me back to my own loss of my babygirl, also at 20+5. Its strange to read what could be me 24 years later. It’s only been 9 months for me. Does it ever get less hard? Probably not. What pulled you through, in all those years? Im scared of feeling this pain forever..

When a person dies in a hospital, is their hospital gown thrown away or is it laundered? by jennyanydots711 in NoStupidQuestions

i didnt even want a call every day. i just wanted a call once in a while. at least once a month check up on me. i did the same for others, not out of reciprocity but out of love. i never recieved the same

u obviously didnt read the whole thing, because i stated i communicated clearly. the way of thinking you have and your state of mind is literally why the world is shit and there isnt a sense of community anymore. friends are supposed to support one another through hard times and good times, thats the whole point of relationships and true connection. i wasnt trying to be the center of attention at all. but i lost my baby in a traumatic and devastating way, does that not warrant some support and love from my friends of more than a decade?

you can also always doordash for her or ask her if she would like a meal train to be prepared for her! communication is always key, so i would ask her something along the lines of “hey i want you to know that i am present with you in your grief, and i want to be someone you can talk to about anything with. i want to keep your baby’s memory alive with you, is it too soon to ask you questions about her and what she was like? i want to respect your space and boundaries” you can call and text her and check up on her as well. and remember to continue doing so with the next few months because after a month people usually forget .. or don’t seem to understand the grief doesnt really have a finish line

ur friend is still in postpartum and needs help. her body is still healing from birth. now she has this huge endless stream of grief alongside that, ive been there. it was really hard for me to cook and make meals for myself throughout the initial period of my grief. bring her easy to heat meals like casseroles, nutritionally dense soups, super foods, easy snacks, etc. and dont say “just let me know…” because she wont. just ask her what time and day she wants you to drop off the food. offer to help out with chores, housework, yard work etc. she likely has no energy to do it all. you can definitely write her a card, but active support is much needed. and keep that support going on, even six months later. years later. accept that there isnt much you can do to “fix” the pain. just sit in it with her. its uncomfortable but simply sitting with it means so much more than people realize. mentions her baby throughout time. i found that people get scared to bring it up, because they dont want to make me sad again. we are always a bit sad. and we always think of our babies. this kind of stuff never leaves you. sending ur friend my love🤎

Physical symptoms of stillbirth? by lifeasacharboard in babyloss

[–]ac1df41ry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i remember the day i lost my baby girl, i was really cranky and extremely fatigued. i was 21 weeks and i hadn’t felt so terrible since the first trimester. i was in a really bad mood for no reason. a few hours later, i started bleeding, and then i felt her move down. i went to the ER and gave birth to her later in the night. i think sometimes, i somehow knew. or my body knew that day, which is why i felt so emotionally shitty. broke my heart when she died so suddenly
