pail day

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

Tomorrow, October 15th, is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. I wanted to get a ribbon pin to wear but I couldn’t seem to get a website that worked well enough to order one. So again I will (most likely) walk around silent tomorrow. What can I say, anyway? “Today is PAIL Day. Don’t forget, my baby died.” No need to make people uncomfortable. Although I live with that knowledge every minute and it’s not comfortable for me, either. Maybe as I get farther into this I’ll figure out how to be an activist.

    I haven’t forgotten. :*( Hope you’re doing okay today. (And thanks for sharing the link; I’ll try to keep up.)

    I thought of this quote from Charles Spurgeon that I thought I’d share:

    “God is too good to be unkind, too wise to be mistaken, and when you cannot trace His hand, you can always trust His heart.”

    Much love from your bigger little sister,
    Katie

About Me

Gabriel Elliott Groce

I am a wife, a mother, a woman of God. I have 3 living children and 2 in Heaven. I am writing of the loss of my youngest sons: Felix David who died April 2, 2008 (no known cause) at 24w 3d and was born still on April 4, 2008 and Gabriel Elliott who was born on October 19, 2009, lived for 32 minutes and died peacefully in his daddy's arms. (Gabe was diagnosed with limb-body wall complex - a rare and fatal birth defect - at 19w 6d and we chose to carry him to term.)

I may be upbeat at times, down or silent at others. I hope that by writing about my experiences I can help people understand my grief and maybe help them through theirs.
