i have had 2 MMC at 8 weeks gestation and 14 weeks gestation - this poem will be read at my little angels service on monday

An Angel Never Dies

Don’t let them say I wasn’t born,
That something stopped my heart
I felt each tender squeeze you gave,
I’ve loved you from the start.

Although my body you can’t hold
It doesn’t mean I’m gone
This world was worthy, not of me
God chose that I move on.

I know the pain that drowns your soul,
What you are forced to face
You have my word, I’ll fill your arms,
Someday we will embrace.

You’ll hear that it was meant to be,
God doesn’t make mistakes
But that wont soften your worst blow,
Or make your heart not ache.

I’m watching over all you do,
Another child you’ll bear
Believe me when I say to you,
That I am always there.

There will come a time, I promise you,
When you will hold my hand,
Stroke my face and kiss my lips
And then you’ll understand.

Although I’ve never breathed your air,
Or gazed into your eyes
That doesn’t mean I never was,
An Angel never dies.

This poem was the first peom i ever came across when i lost Ava. This poem means the world to me.. Thanks for posting it..
XOOXOXOX So sorry for your loss

i am glad you liked the poem, it`s comforting to think one day we will se our LO`s again. I am so sorry for you loss.xxxxxx
I am also comforted by thinking that both Little Angels that I lost are together, holding hands and looking after each other. Your 2 LO`s will also be together as well. xxxxx

This poem is beautiful and I'll be using it at my LO's service. Thank you xxx

Pallyd,i`m glad you liked the poem.
I have read your other post and am truly sorry for your loss. your story broke my heart.
I had early MMC july 09 and 2 weeks ago `gave birth` to my LO - I thought I was 17 weeks, but LO had died about 3 weeks before.
It was bad enough knowing i had to give birth to my LO who had already passed away, but it broke my heart to know your LO was still fighting to the end
I think Hope is a beautiful name.
We had our LO service last monday, it was the worst experience of my life.There was only me and my OH and the hospital chaplain present, who took the service.
The next day, with the hospital chaplain in attendence, we laid our LO`s ashes to rest in the babies`s memorial garden at the hospital.
This last couple of weeks have been terrible, but after the final goodbye on tuesday I felt a weight had been lifted and we had some closure.
We are now starting to try and look forward. Although yesterday and today I am feeling flat again.
I have 3 other children so have to be strong in front of them because the older one in particular gets very worried when he sees me upset.
Nobody should have to go through what we and the other ladies have exprienced. As mothers or mothers to be it is the worst thing to have your baby taken away.
The poem`s words are beautiful and it comforts me to think that one day I will see both my LO`s again and it also comforts me to think they are together holding hands and looking after each other. The chaplain mentioned our other lost LO (lost at 8 weeks gestation 07/09) and said the siblings are now reunited.
I hope your LO`s service helps you to to say goodbye and gives you comfort that your little Hope is now safe and being looked after by the other Angels.
An Angel Never Dies.
Best wishes and lots of hugs. If you need to talk i am always here.

Sooo beautiful...Makes me long for heaven so much. Just not time yet. (sigh)

This poem gives me such comfort, one day we will see our LO`s again and will finally get to hug them and hold their hands and tell them how much we have always loved them.
