I lost you all after you were conceived but before you lived. I couldn”t give you names or identities or even validation. No one seems to see you – the lost IVF embryos that never implanted, – you exist when some people want you to but are ignored otherwise. In the absence of an actual recognised pregnancy, apparently you never existed and I can’t express how deeply this continues to haunt me. Its as if the smaller you are, the less you have the right to be acknowledged or grieved. To me you matter, because you’ll all I’ll ever have. To the rest of the world, there is no platitude you can offer me, so please just stop trying. You don’t have to say anything. there is nothing you can say, and I would appreciate it if you stopped trying so hard to fix me and my “situation”. You can’t. It hurts, it always will, it not your responsibility to make it better or give me options or wonder why I didn’t try this or that or tell me about some new medical miracle. Please don’t. I”m trying to find my peace now and I ask that you respect that and respect the children I lost even if they only ever existed in a petrie dish. this is me … waiting for the day this will get better.

My dear sweet Michel, There is not a day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts. You would be 16 now and I wonder what your life would be like. I love you always

Little one, We were so anxiously awaiting you, but God had another purpose for you in mind. I”ll never forget the moment I finally held you in my arms. You”re the most beautiful thing your dad and I have ever seen. We think about you every day, and love you and miss you terribly. We take comfort knowing that God is taking care of you now. You may have been too fair of a creature for this world. Now, you will always be our angel. Praying for the moment when we can see you again. ~Mommy & Daddy

I lost you 2 days ago, you were 23 weeks in my womb, and in just one day you stopped moving inside, and the pain is indescribable. I was so exited to know you, but life didn’t make my wish come true… I know that you will be in a better place.. but Mommy feels sorry for not being capable to bring you to this world…. I will always LOVE you my Angel baby… and always be remember in my heart!!

Maya, I miss you and love you so much baby girl. Words can never truly describe how I felt the moment I found out. Giving birth to you was the saddest moment of my life, looking at your lifeless body. I kept you in the room with me until I left the hospital. All the while you were with God, you little body was next to me in the bassinet. Everytime I made a loud noise moving the bed or dropping something, I felt like I was going to wake you. I felt like you were alive, and you were just sleeping. I knew in the days before that something was not right, even though there were no warning signs. I feel like I failed you. You should have been safe with me, but I wasn”t able to protect you from whatever caused this. I will never forgive myself, and I will never forget your cute little face. I can”t wait to see you in heaven. Mommy will always love you, Maya. Always…

I never knew that an angel could be so important, but since I had to say goodbye to you so soon after meeting you, I came to realise that I have met a perfect angel, an angel who lives in my dreams and will be forever loved, all through the time my angel you will always be. Maurice was a beautiful baby boy born still at 38 weeks.

I prayed for so long that I would get a son. I can not explain the excitement I had when we found out you were a boy. I could not wait for the day I would hold and meet you, the day could not come fast enough. Then it came too fast. You came and you left us before we could meet. My heart went with you my son, you will hold it forever, until we meet in Heaven one day.. now I wait for that day, it can”t come soon enough. Mommy misses you so much Mason. I love you and think of you every second of every day. You are with me until I hold you again. Love, Mommy
