Rozzie I am so, so sorry. I don't have the words to make you feel better (could there be any?), I just wanted to give you a
Rest in peace beautiful baby Edward.

Rozzie,

I'm sorry for your loss, you've got me crying, I can feel the love you have for your son and I know you will be fine.
It's not easy to get on with life after a loss, especially one of this magnitude. To be reminded by all those pregnant bellies will cause heartbreak every time, we're all here for you and you'll find the bellybelly website warm and welcoming! (I'm a newbie too around 2.5 months now).

i am not sure what to say to you as your story bought me to tears, but i am writing more to say you are not alone as there are so many people on this forum who are here to support you. We know in one way or another what you are feeling as unfortuneatly there are many of us, including myself that have experienced that moment in the ultrasound that you are told there is no heartbeat. i am now 5 months on from that moment and i have still had my share of heartbreaking times. you don't have to ever forget your child, but it will day by day become a little more bearable! My sons EDD is tomorrow and i have already bawled at the least likely moments today. Sending you many hugs for the days ahead of you! rant and rave, say whatever you need to here, this forum has literally been my lifeline.

Rozzie,
I am so sorry and saddened to hear about the loss of your perfect angel baby Edward Thomas.
Please be kind to yourself, allow youself to grieve... and most of all please know there are many of us here who have shed a tear or 100 for you and your beautiful baby.

After losing my son Noah in Feb 2006, all I could do is cry... so I cried until it hurt, and I screamed when I needed to scream... and I was angry when I felt like my heart was torn from me and taken away with my baby. It is a pain that no one should feel, and sadly many of us have and do.
Thinking of you and keeping you in my heart and prayers
Lisa

Rozzie, I am so terribly sorry to read about the loss of your beautiful son, Edward. Your post has had me in tears! It's been 1 week and 1 day since I learnt at 8 weeks and 1 day that my baby was no longer with us. It was devastating so I can't even imagine how hard it must be to have your son pass away at 22 weeks You sound like you are being incredibly strong, but I know how your (and your DH's) heart must be breaking.

I think that your mapel tree is an absolutely beautiful idea. It will give you something to look upon while you cherish the memories of the special times (albeit not long enough by far) you both had with Edward, such as seeing him wave at you during scans. My DH and I don't own our own home yet, so we've decided against a tree for our baby, but instead I am having a star named in honour of our silent angel.

Take as much time as you need for yourself during this sad time, and remember that anything you are feeling is the right thing to feel. There are no wrong ways to cope with grief, so if it makes you feel better to laugh or cry or scream, then do it.

My thoughts are with you, your DH, and Edward.
