Death of a loved one is always a cause for mourning. However, when a baby dies, there is a sadness that goes beyond normal grief. We are programmed to expect that the old outlive the young. When a person who has lived a full life passes away, there is a sense that everything is as it should be. When a baby passes, who has not even has the chance to experience life, his death seems meaningless. If he was meant to die so soon why did he even come into the world?

I would rather seem rude than let them see me cry,...

Cursing my disillusionment
Why did I imagine it could be any other way

My arms are so empty to hold you just once
Even now I have not cried all my tears

I just lost my daughter in May due to Anencephaly. She was diagnosed with it in February. We decided to try to carry to term. She came at 34 weeks and stayed with us for 1 hour and 19 minutes.

When you can hardly breathe and you watch and laugh at children swinging from trees and you play peek-a-boo and smile at me,

our little man to rest...
