Baby Lia is really struggling tonight, they say she might not make it. She is refusing to eat now for a couple of days and her heart rate is over 200. She stops breathing for a couple of minutes then come back. It is so sad, it is so hard, sorry for reporting such sad stuff, but life sometimes is just sad you know.
Tonight at our Jazz ensemble listening party, one member had a weird Al shirt on and it reminded me of my brother who was a big fan. I still can't believe he is really gone.

HF, I don't have the right words to say. Perhaps there just aren't any.
It's so very difficult, I can't even begin to imagine. All I know to do is to pray for you and your family often. And I have and I will.

I'm so sorry, happyflower. You've had a lot come down on you lately, and it sounds like the stress continues. The sadness says a lot about the depth of your feelings. I hope that some of the sorrow is interspersed with smiles, even if tearful ones, at warm remembrances and happy moments.
Thinking of you,

I cannot imagine how you must feel right now- all I can say is that I am so, so sorry.
You are in my thoughts, and her parents, too.I have a little shrine that I meditate in front of sometimes- I will go right now and light a candle there for Lia, and for those who love her, and grieve for her.
all my love-
arora

Thank you everyone for being so kind, it means a lot. I think I am still in shock even though I knew it was coming. The funeral will be on Sat., I have never been to a baby funeral, I have a feeling it has to be one of the hardest.
When they came to pick up Lia from their home, my grandson who is 2, kept saying , she is MY baby. (he didn't want them to take her) That brought everyone to tears, it was so difficult. I am not sure what exactly I am feeling right now, I am just numb. Thanks everyone again, you all have helped me so much during this month. (((babblers)))

Happyflower normal to feel this way. Make sure you get a lock of hair and hand print and footprint. I know it doesn't sound important now later it will be. And remember to happy times although there were not that many. Love Phillipa

Thanks Phillipa,
She has all the stuff, they helped her do it in the hospital when they were there. One volunteer even made a little bead bracelet with Lia name on it, one for Lia and one for her mom. My daughter seems determined to finish her quit tomorrow as a rememberance. I even have a copy of the recording that I played last week dedicated to her. Maybe they will use it for the funeral, I don't know. I am so glad I could do my little part. Thanks again Phillipa, you have been such a strong support for me, I wish I could be there more for you too, I know you are having a rough time.

Hi Happyflower,
I'm so sorry to hear about Baby Lia. I think the quilt your daughter is doing is a wonderful way to keep memories of Baby Lia with you. I hope they choose to play your recording.

Happyflower,
I'm so sorry for your loss; my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Baby Lia was quite a fighter and I'm glad you were able to have some time with her; try to cherish that. Didn't you tell us a photographer came and took some pictures of her? I'll bet they came out beautiful. Lia is a precious little angel.
Thinking of you.

Happyflower take care of you and your family now. Glad the nurses did it last week. And your dedication would be wonderful. Could you record it and when you do feel a need not that you may ever post a pic. Don't think of me now you have so much to go through. My heart is with you and Lia and family. Love Phillipa

oh, HF, I am crying posting this, but I think I can say a little.
"Baby Lia has gone to heaven"
Yes, she actually HAS, you know. Well, at least I believe it wholeheartedly, and so do millions. That is the only way I can ever get through things as deeply sad as this. I know nothing can ever really justify or completely heal the pain of the loss of a baby. We don't know why He needed her back, and it's excruciating, but I hope at some point imagining how pain-free and loved she is by Him gives comfort.
You are so brave and amazing for being able and willing to share all this with us.

Happyflower,
Baby Lia blessed your lives for a few weeks longer than anyone thought she would. May it give you peace to remember her sweet spirit. I'm so glad your daughter wants to finish the quilt. It will be a treasure. You, your kids and family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope they play your song at the funeral especially since it was for her. How special for you in remembrance. My heart breaks for you. Babies are so precious. Thanks for sharing her with us.
She came into the world to serve her purpose. I'm sure you've all learned a new level of love.
I'm so sorry for your pain. Know that you are loved and cared about.
Hugs and Love my Friend
