For Gabrielle---On Your Second Heavenly Birthday

[auntpolly]

I've had miscarriages -- and an only child. I'll bet there are more of us that have lost babies than not on this board! Let's not try to tell each other how to grieve. Let's us women support each other -- why is it that we women seem to have such a hard time doing that sometimes?

Kristy I feel better when I hear of other women who went through losses -- thanks for reminding us of our little ones in heaven.

Hugs to you, Kristy.

What a beautiful tribute to you precious Gabrielle, Kristy. I can't even imagine what you go through on a daily basis, but thank you for reminding me even more to be thankful for my precious boys.. God Bless you and your family.

{{{{{HUGS}}}} I know it still hurts Kristy. Our Nicky, whom we lost more than 11 years ago in a very similar way, is still part of our family.He always will be. Our children talk about their big brother all the time...remembering and loving Gabrielle doesnt take anything away from her other children....in fact it probably brings them closer. God Bless you all Kristy.

Kristi,

I don't know what to say - what a beautiful tribute to your beloved daughter. And such a beautiful name!
May God bless you and your husband and family as you continue to grieve. Please don't blame yourself - sometimes things happen for reasons we will never understand while we are still on this earth.
I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that she is always with you and always watching over your family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. That was a lovely tribute.

 

[Blondie]

What a touching tribute, it must be healing to put it all into words like that.

I hope the memory box I sent you comforts you on this day, Gabrielle's birthday.

Thanks for everyone's comments. Just to make it clear, I don't "dwell" on Gabrielle's death. To me, dwelling is to think of it and little else, something I am too darn busy to do. But, yes, it does still affect me, and yes, I think of her daily....in my prayers, just in my daily routine, as I do my other children. Obviously, I do count my blessings with my other children and am, of course, blessed to have all of them including Olivia.

However, I refuse to forget Gabrielle and put her memory aside as though she was any less significant than our other children. To me and my family, she is just as real and just as important and to forget her "birthday" would be so much more harmful to us than me writing a poem about her.

Thanks again for all your words of advice, comfort.
