Closure sucks and it hurts like hell

I just wanted to let everyone know that our precious baby girl was born sleeping on Thursday, November 15, 2007 at 3:48 PM, weighing in at 10.2 ounces and 9.5 inches long. We fought for her until the very end, and she never stopped fighting but the odds were stacked against us as what little fluid I was producing was leaking at an alarming pace and no matter what we could have done, she could not survive outside my belly. This has proven to be more painful than anything we could have imagined.

For my own sanity I need to write everything down, and I want to share it all...but I've had a total of 5 hours of sleep in 2 days days and let's face it..I can't make sense of it all right now. I am hurting in ways that I can't explain, so I am going to try this weekend to detail a post worthy enough of the events that happened, but please bear with me as I desperately try to get my feelings on paper in the manner that I truly feel them.

There are just no words. I am *so* very sorry, Becca. I will be saying prayers for you tonight before I fall asleep. I hope that you'll have some comfort somehow throughout all of this. I'm sure that your baby girl was *so* beautiful and precious. I simply cannot imagine what you're going through. How painful (and that's an understatement). My deepest, sincerest sympathies. :(

I am devastated for the three of you. No matter how bad and sad you might feel, just remember that you fought for that baby girl when many gave up on her.

I'm sending you hugs.

Becca, I'm so sorry. I came to check in on you after being away all week. I was praying for a different outcome.

Take good care of yourself--I know how difficult this is. When you're ready to write we'll all be here to listen.

I am so sorry for what you are going through right now. It is so hard and so draining.

Please take time for yourself and your family right now. Spend time together, even if it is just sitting around. Cry whenever you want to, even if it is all day. Hug and laugh and smile too, because you will get through this.

Get lots of sleep, and reach out when you need to. Those of us who have lost as well are here for you, no matter what.
