My Little Angel

Let me begin by saying that although my baby is not here with me, she will never be forgotten. This was my fourth pregnancy. I have a beautiful 8-year-old daughter, Kiara, two pregnancies after her ended in miscarriage and my last ended in stillbirth on October 2, 2004.

It is all so strange because my husband and I, in fact the whole family, were looking forward to my baby girl, whom I named Ka'Mya. It's like one day all was fine and the next day I had a strange feeling because she had not moved all night. I felt in my heart something was not right.

Then reality hit the next day after I checked into labor and deliver. I was told after trying so hard to find her heartbeat that my little angel was gone. That was so hard for me, my husband and our 8-year-old. Our world had just come crashing down.

After giving birth to our daughter we held her, kept her in the room and carried on like she was here but only asleep. Reality then kicked in when we had to finally let her go and say goodbye.

Believe it or not each day gets better. God has kept me and my family in the mist. He will never put too much on us than we can bear. He made it clear that this was not where he wanted his angel Ka'Mya to be, although we did so badly.

But one thing is for sure: She is in the best hands ever. Each day I think about her but I am sure that everything is going to work out just fine.

So to all that have experienced this, you are not alone. I never thought that it would happen to me and when it did I thought that I was alone but I wasn't. All I can say is to pray and believe and he will see you through. Every day you will learn to cope with it a little bit better.

Your baby's labor and delivery is like no other in the world. Let others know what your experience was like.
