2 months after death; a new life

[pixiewings71]

I can't even imagine the pain of losing your child, but I do know the joy of having a grandchild. Embrace the joy she will bring you and remember your son thru her. Grandchildren are an amazing thing, before you know it she'll be running around and she'll look at you a certain way and you will see your DS in her expression. It's truly a wonderful experience. Congratulations on being a new Gma, and I am so sorry for your terrible loss. :hugs

I'm sure we would all be all over the place emotionally if we were in your shoes. Just think, your precious grandbaby will have a guardian angel to mind her through life.

I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope this new life brings you the peace that you need!

I pray that little sweetheart brings you joy and comfort.

I know it's not the same at all, but my son was born less than a month before my grandmother died and having the little innocent baby in our family helped us all through our grief.

Has the baby been given a name yet?

I understand your feeling the way you do. Hopefully someday soon you'll be able to feel a little less pain and concentrate on the joy of having your Granddaughter. You can always tell her about her special Angel

I think it will always feel a bit muddled. That's only to be expected.

Has the baby been given a name yet?

Yes she's been named Alex (after her dad) Her middle name I can't pronounce or spell. I don't know: she may go through her life with people assuming she's a he.


The first time I saw her, in the nursery after being bathed, I started to cry. I can't believe he's not here, he was so excited about becoming a dad. And without him here how often and when we get to see her is up to her mom, we're cordial/polite, but not real close a little uncomfortable. So I'm scared to attach and have her taken too.

I don't know, just so exhausted of feeling bad, and worrying about so many others.


Thanks to you all for the congrats, and words of encouragement, and hugs, and letting me vent. Here I don't have to worry about making you cry........

My heart aches for your sadness...

This is what the word "bittersweet" was made for. I hope we'll all get to see a post from you in the future talking about your wonderful relationship with your DGD. Meanwhile,

Congratulations on the birth of your granddaughter! I'm sure she will bring you much joy. She is a precious gift.

I love the name Alex for a girl. I think it's adorable!

Later, can you speak to the mom and ask her what she wants your relationship to be? Or, I guess I mean let her know how you feel about it.
Even if she gets married she might want to assure you are always there.

I say this because my kids dont really have grandparents on either side (long story) and I'd hang on to a loving grandma for my kids if I got the chance. My relationship should have nothing to do with my kids and their grandparents.

This is talk for later down the road.
