I am so sorry. I can't imagine your feelings today on your sweet baby's birthday. I hope you have found some measure of comfort and peace. I hope we too find it some day. Understanding why God takes our little ones is not easy. For me, the journey has just begun.

We lost our little Mason in the early hours of Tuesday, December 7, to what everyone believes is SIDS. He was 3 1/2 months old. The hardest part of letting him go is the not knowing WHY. They say we will not know for sure until the results come back in about 14 weeks. ironic that it will take the length of time he was with us to find out what led to his passing.

To know that my daughter lost her baby breaks my heart. To know my son in law had to find him eats me up. To know my husband and I lost our first grand baby, our youngest her first nephew...this is the most horrible experience I have ever lived through.

I won't ask if it gets easier..I can't imagine how it could. How do you cope? Do you have any advice you can share with me? That I can share with my daughter and son in law?

Your sweet baby was precious. I wish none of us ever had to lose the joy of our hearts.

Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know that are happy. 

May your heart and soul find peace and comfort. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow.
