One year ago today, I found out my baby had died in utero.  My heart was broken (and it still is).  I passed the baby in the next couple of days and had him buried in the rosary garden at church.  

I'm still working through it.  I'm working through the overwhelming emotions that have followed.  And, it's all over the place.  

Emily had a great idea that I celebrate Mark's feast day, but I think for this year, I'll just let it pass as quietly as possible.  My children talk about both Mark and Rose so easily.  I can't.  Yet.

I think I will go employ some retail therapy.

    I’ll never understand why loved ones have to leave us. Time will heal your heart. And I’m certain they would have been just as beautiful as your other wonderful children.
    ps-retail therapy always helps!

    A cyber hug seems so inadequate, but I’m sending one to you anyway. Someone once commented on my blog that it is no small thing to have your own saint in heaven. Imagine your sweet babies, basking every day in the glory of God, delighting in praying for you! A small comfort, but a comfort nonetheless.
    A book that helped me is “An Empty Cradle, A Full Heart.” On one page it has a first person reflection from someone who has suffered a miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death – on the facing page is a Scripture verse.

    KC,
    Catching up on my google reader and just seeing this…praying with sympathy and understanding– a bit late but I hope you are doing okay. Hugs.
