Stanas, I am so very very sorry for the loss of your sweet baby girl Ava. What a prettty name she has.

I have never walked in your shoes huni so I cannot comprehend the pain you are going through right now, but I can sympathsise with you.

Take every day as it comes, allow yourself time to grieve your princess, and when you are ready, give yourself permission to move forward.

Sadly there are many girls on BB who do know just what you are feeling and I'm sure they will come in and have to right words to share with you.

Huge hugs to you sweetheart

I can't possible imagine your feelings - I have lost a baby but it was earlier. You will survive - you will. And your baby will keep watch over you. For ever.

Much love
Sasha

If you ever want to talk let me know - I will send you my private email.

Hi Stanas,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Our son was stillborn on 24 Apr at 22 weeks. He was our first child also.

The first week is so hard, it's such a shock and you have to make arrangements such as for cremation.

I guess my advice is lean on your loved ones as much as possible, and get through the days as best as possible. I would try and do things to take my mind away, even for a just a few minutes, like watching TV or reading the newspaper or gardening or anything you like. I figured I'd have plenty of time ahead of me to grieve and to digest what had happened, and those moments of distraction gave me a break for a little while.

Otherwise get plenty of sleep and try and eat well, as being unwell will make things like the cremation much harder.

As for the cremation itself, I can tell you what we did. It was only the two of us. I picked some flowers from the garden and we had a teddy bear for him. We wrapped him in blankets we bought for him. We had written a letter to him saying everything we felt and read it aloud.

I hope you can find some comfort amongst other parents who've experienced such a loss, I know it's helped me feel less alone.

Love Rozzie

Hi Stanas,

I am so sorry for you and your family. I wish I could offer you some advice but am still searching for answers with my recent loss.

The only thing that helped me and may or may not suit you, was to see my baby and hold him before the funeral. I think this helped me accept what actually happened.

Rozzi is right - seek support from your friends and family. They will want to help you as much as possible.

Take care of yourself.
