Sweet Baby Michael


Yesterday we buried our sweet baby Michael, just one day after he was born. We found out Thanksgiving day that he was no longer with us and went in for induction Friday morning. He was a perfect little boy with an unfortunate heart condition. We are so grateful to our Father in Heaven who has blessed us so much through this hard time. Our arms are empty, our hearts ache, but our blessings are abundant.

    Hil, I know you don't know me. I've been reading your blog for a while now. And as I read about Michael today I had tears in my eyes.
    I am so sorry for your loss. All my heartfelt love to you and your family.

    I came here from Marta's blog; I am so very, very sorry. We will be praying for you and your family. One phrase that helps me in sadness is "always blessings, never losses." Many hugs to you in this difficult time.

    I also followed the link from Marta's blog. I am so, so very sorry for your loss. We lost a baby recently as well, but were not far along, who also was not developing as should be. I am inspired by your faith and pray that through it you and your family are comforted.

    Linked from marta's blog, and as the mother of a stillborn son (a little over nine years ago), my heart aches for you and your family. Peace be with you in this season of your life, and always.

    Oh Hilary, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my identical twins, Sophia & Ellie, in April. It is a very difficult road to travel, but please know you do not have to do it alone. There are many wonderful women bloggers who have lost their babies and they have been a great support to me. I hope you can find comfort from them too. Thinking of you and your sweet Michael. xx

    I am so sorry to hear this! I was linked over from Sherbet Blossom but wanted to express my sincere sympathy.

    I know there is a support group for parents of children with heart defects- and they have a special group for 'Angel' parents. It's called Intermountain Healing Hearts (a friend of mine belongs). I'm sure you could find parents there to gain support from in your grief. I'm so sorry you have to endure a trial this hard.
