Re: So maybe it's time to come out...

Posted by Bean08

Well, the above post was written by me...

My name is Jillian, and last November I suffered a full-term loss...At 38 weeks 3 days, my daughter Sarah Marie's heart stopped beating. I don't know if anyone that is on the board now was here then, so I'm sure many of you wouldn't even know my story. And I'm not writing for sympathy...I'm writing more to share hope and happiness...

These past almost 11 months have been the most heartbreaking and gutwrenching times of my life. But there have been fantastic times too...I've struggled so much with trying to balance my emotions...Sadness over not having Sarah here, but such joy over the fact that our second child will be coming into this world. I guess that maybe I felt the need to come out because I want the joy to be more present...And I feel like being "me" will help to do that...but I'll be honest, I haven't decided which name I will keep posting with! Snowflake09 is in honor of my daughter - My mom saw a sign somewhere that said "Snowflakes are kisses from Angels"...so I always keep that thought with me...as I know that Sarah is always with me...

I know that there are other people on these boards that have suffered losses, and my heart goes out to each and every one...And for those that know pain, I just want you to know that there are brighter days ahead...as hard as it is to sometimes see that...

So, that's my quick little story...now I feel like I can atleast be honest and open on here. 2011 can't come quick enough! Chat Icon

I will be praying for you everytime I pray for myself! Even though our stories are different, I know how hard it is to fully embrace a new pregnancy. I didnt come out until 17 weeks b/c I literally started shaking everytime I tried to. Luckily we both have Rachel for encouragement Chat Icon Chat Icon



I know! She is like a personal cheerleader Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I don't really know what made me decide to come out...When I first found out I was pg this time, I thought I would maybe around 16 weeks...then that came and went...maybe 20...nope...But, now, I just feel like I need to embrace the happiness that I should, and do feel...This baby doesn't deserve to grow up in the shadow of my pain, so I think that spreading the happiness is key!

I'll keep thinking of you too!

I remember reading your story last year. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how strong you must be to have handled such a tough situation and still have hope.

I pray that you always feel Sarah's presence in your life guiding you. Lots of well wishes and support with this pregnancy.
