I just finished reading a post about a woman having a sleeping baby. I always imagined you had a few minutes then they were just gone. I never thought about the fact that you spend time with that baby, get attached, then someone comes in and takes it away to either cremate or bury him/her. I never registered that part. When I read her words "they'll be in to get him for cremation in the morning after one last hug and a big kiss" I cried so hard. I get to hug and kiss my little man every day and hopefully the rest of his life. I couldn't imagine such pain. I honestly don't think I'd survive.
My heart and utmost respect goes out to any mommy who has had to say goodbye to their child.
You give birth to the baby but it's born already passed away. It's just a way nicer term than saying the baby was born dead. They're just permanently sleeping.
My aunt carried my cousin full term. She went in to the hospital to have him and they found no heartbeat. She later wrote a book titled Good Grief. It is a complete devastation to lose a child. I still haven't healed from it.
Also called a still birth.
