I was STRUCK when I saw your sweet baby's name Calla Valentina... my baby's name is Valentina Grace, she passed on April 25th, 2010 and was delivered 2 days later, 39 weeks, stillborn with no cause of death. I just suffered my second loss in a year, lost my sweet "Little Bee" at 7 weeks, this weekend. I am still going through the physical throes of miscarriage, and wondering if I will ever hold life in my arms after another labor. I am so sorry to know you this way, but so looking forward to following your writings. <3 I am so terribly sorry for your loss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669232949254960562.post-76151679053860481362010-01-19T09:28:10.211-05:002010-01-19T09:28:10.211-05:00Mary Beth,

At times there is a small amount of strange comfort in knowing that your heart is aching with the throbing pain that echoes in the hearts of so many other mothers. Berry Beth, I am so very deeply sorry for the extreme loss of your sweet baby girl. I hate that you are beginning this journey, it is a hard one but I pray you have the loving support of many by your side and I pray that you find comfort in Gods supportive embrace.

I felt like I was reading my story. I know what you are feeling and I will pray for your healing. My daughter Stephanie would now be 20 years old. I will never forget her but the pain does become less as time goes on. A year after Stephanie left us I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. As I said before, I will pray for you and your family.
