We lost our darling Ellie last week. She was born at 27wks due to pre-eclampsia and was just 1lb 4oz at birth. Our lovely little girl had Down syndrome, but did really well, not needing ventilation, until she became ill last week. She fought really hard, but couldn't get better and we lost her when she was just 27 days old. Her funeral is tomorrow, and we do not know how we are going to cope with it. We have seen her at the funeral home and we dressed her ourselves, but it is going to be just horrible seeing her little coffin. We have planned a beautiful service for her, and just her closest family will be there, but it is going to be so hard to say goodbye. We know we were lucky to have known her, but it just wasn't long enough.....
Sue...I will be thinking of you tomorrow. I think of you everyday, but I can't imagine how tomorrow will be for you. I am hugging you with my heart. Thoughts and prayers to you, Chris, and your families.

You are in the right place and I am so sorry for your loss.
We had Saralyn's services a week after she passed as well. I had written an account of her short life from Mom's point of view and had our minister read a portion of it. That was the hardest part for me - hearing my own words spoken by another.
Remember we are all here for you and have been through similar circumstances. If you need anything - we'll be here for you.
I am not sure if you are familiar with my story. I lost my son at 37 weeks. He was gone before he was born unfortunately. When he was delivered, he was perfect in every way. He died of an umbilical cord accident. I have a link to his website in my signature.
We live in Virginia and flew him home to Tennessee to be buried. We had a funeral for him and so many people showed up. We had a private viewing the morning of the funeral for the grandparents. It was very tough.
It has been over a year since we lost our baby and we are expecting another son in a couple months. We are excited about this baby but he will never replace our first son Dallas.
Cherish every day that you had your baby. I saw her pictures and she was absolutely gorgeous. You should be very proud. It is tough to lose a child but just know that she is now looking out for you. That is the thought that I wake up with every day. I know my baby is looking out for us.
Thinking of you during your time of grief. I realize that no words I have to say will bring you comfort. Only time will heal your wounds.
Big hugs!!!!!
