Ideas needed

JASMAK · Aug 1st, 2009, 11:34 AM

This was taken from my journal, but wanted to post it here for some ideas... I am going tomorrow. Thanks.

Tomorrow I am going to Long Beach, BC. I have not been there in just about two years to the day. The week after my first miscarriage I went there and was bleeding and grieving. I have named the baby Kai, although I have no idea if he was truly a boy, I felt he was when I was pregnant with him. Tomorrow I am going back and I am thinking of doing a little something there for him. But, what? I cannot believe it has been two years since losing him, and here I am, STILL ttc with two more m/c added. Love and Peace Kai. Love mommy.

Here is a link to some pics of Long Beach. Any ideas of what I could quietly do while there?

Fab idea Mrs Doddy, i've bought some wish balloons and will release them when i scatter the ashes. xxx

I always liked the idea of taking something precious and burying it deep in the sand near the water's edge. Balloons are nice, to watch them float away, but I was never one for balloons. We are going away on 10th September, once this miscarriage is all out of the way, and I am taking two tiny crystals, one pink and one blue, to represent the two babies I am losing. I am going to do that, bury them in the sand near the water and just watch the waves lap over them. That way, my babies will get to see the ocean, will get to watch the sun set every night somewhere beautiful and peaceful.

The sound of waves always comforted me, really.

Not at all. In a way it's like giving our babies back to the earth. We know that they will never be lonely because there are always people that walk along the sand, children that jump the waves. We might never take our lost babies to paddle at the water's edge but we can leave them there knowing that they will never be alone.

I'm going to take a picture of the sun setting where I bury them. That way I can stick it in a frame and every time I feel sad I can just look at the beautiful sunset and think "My babies are there..."

Do you think maybe you could lay all of yours to rest together? Brothers and sisters, all in the one place. I like the idea of mine being together. They would've been together if they had lived and should be together now that they have died.

Wow, very beautiful. Yes, I do think I should lay them all there...all together. It is going to be hard, because I have never really said goodbye to any of them yet. We are now going on Monday (it is a holiday here on Monday) because it is supposed to rain there tomorrow (it is a rain forest so there is alot of rain there). Thank you so much Curly Sue. x0x0
