Hello Sarah,

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious son. It is still so early for
you and I remember how intense the feelings were then. I lost my son on
28.10.03. I thought I would never recover and never smile again, but
somehow you do learn to live with it, and I guess I am at the stage now
where I can look back and be proud of how far I have come over the last
year. It has been the hardest year of my life. I know you don't think it
at the moment, but you will recover and you will enjoy life again. Your
beautiful son would have wanted it that way. The things that have helped me
are doing his website, having a picture of him and also a charcoal drawing
done of him. I talked and talked about him all the time at first, which was
my way of dealing with it. A lot of my friends and family got sick of it
after a few months, but now they realise that it was something I needed to
do.

I am now 20 weeks pregnant with another boy, and I also have another son who
is 4. Please feel free to email me directly if you want. We are all here
to help each other and I know that when I was in the midst of it last year I
really appreciated all the help I got from this board.

Look after yourself and be proud to call yourself the mother of an angel.

Subject: [Placenta Abruption] Hello



Hi everyone,

My name is Sarah and I'm new to the site. I've been registered for
a few days but had a really hard time trying to compose myself to
write my story. Firstly, I would like to say that I am truly sorry
for anyone who has lost a child, and congratulations to those who
are currently pregnant.

I lost my son on September 19, 2004 due to placenta abruption. It's
been terrible trying to cope. It doesn't feel like the days are
getting any easier but I don't cry out loud as much as I did when it
first happened. He was 24 weeks and born with a faint heartbeat. I
still cry to have him back and the closer I get to my due date, the
harder it is to deal with. I can't help but calculate how many
days, weeks or months I would be if I was still pregnant. I was
looking so forward to the new year, especially January 7 (his due
date). Now I am dreading the New Year, all my excitment is gone.

I was so shocked to find out that this chatroom existed. I actually
found it by accident while researching abruptions on the net. I am
hoping that I will be able to speak to those who are willing to chat
about abruptions or just want to talk about anything in general.

Take care

Sarah
