    I'm so sorry. You're right. There is no reason for your sons to be taken from you. When I hear of mc or any kind of babyloss my response is always the same. "I'm so sorry. Nature is cruel." It isn't much but I think it's kinder than empty pleasantries.

    You are taking this baby home. I hope your baby can ease some of your pain and fill your heart and your life with joy, where there's only been sadness for so long.

    I think your babies lives were all for a reason, they were meant to share your journey. But i don't think there's any reason they left too soon. That just sucks. But their lives were full of meaning to those they've touched, especially their parents.

    BAL, I'm so sorry. People just don't know what to say.
    DP and I watched your video of the boys and we both cried through it. They are beautiful angels and their spirit will live on forever.

    To all you angel-mummies -- I'm so sorry. It's not fair what you went through. I haven't lost a child, but I was at my sister's 20 week ultrasound when we found out that Abigail was gone. I was heartbroken, I was at her appointments and was going to be there for the birth. I know how hard that was for me. I can't imagine what you went through.

    Having a living child doesn't make up for an angel. My beautiful 10mo niece doesn't make up for my sisters firstborn.

    I've been thinking of you alot lately, BAL. I just want to send you lots and lots of hugs.
    xoxo

    Blessed, when I lost Joshua, the only thing that got me through the pain of losing him was to believe and accept that it did happen for a reason, that's how I got my peace and closure. I think if I didn't believe this, I would have lost the plot. I believe that wherever he is, I will be there with him one day and that makes me happy. I don't believe he is gone forever. I guess people have their own beliefs, and it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't understand pain (especially pain of losing a child) it just means that that's what they belive and hope that it will too bring peace to the other person. I agree that it's better to say 'sorry about your loss' in case you are one of those people who don't believe that things happen for a reason.
