Every so often a person comes into your life and leaves a mark on your heart that time will never erase. Every so often that person is the love of your life, a treasured friend, or a loving parent. Every so often that person is a stranger who comes and goes in a flash leaving nothing to prove he was here except for the fact that you are completely changed. Every so often that person is a child whose brief life touches more people than he might have even known had he lived longer. And that is the gift a person like Sean can bring to us every so often.
Every pregnancy holds the potential for a lifetime of dreams and hopes.
Our dreams and hopes are further fulfilled as we watch and guide our child to adulthood. During all the initial stages of our loss, there are some things that we can do to ease the intensity of our pain. Hopefully, the hospital, doctor or the medical care people will be aware of these guidelines. Though some of these ideas may seem strange or unusual to you, they have been supported by many bereaved parents and their caregivers. Part of our soul hears what is real, the other part must deny it all.
