Those that have lost a child!!!!

Posted 3 months ago I wanted to make this for all the Members of FIRE LINK who have lost a child or now someone who has! In 2006 my wife and i were expecting a little girl. my wife came by my station one day and told me she didn't feel good and she hadn't felt the baby move for a little bit. Well she went to the hospital and i finally got there and they did a ultrasound and my little girl had died . My wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on Sept 17, 2006 at 36 weeks 4 weeks from delivery.It still bothers me even now. It was very hard for me to talk about it for a long time and it still is just not as much. If anyone would like to talk about there situation i am more than willing to do the same we can all help each other!!!!!

Children are the greatest gift on earth. I hope your family is doing get, Capt_Womble. Everyone stay safe. "BUCKLE UP!!!" JOHN 15:12-13 Rodney Spires

| Posted 3 months ago I am so sorry for your loss. The loss of a child is hard and I can't say that I know what you are going through. My son will be 4 on September 17. The pregnacy was hard, and at my doctors appointment my protien was very high. I could have lost him and passed away myself. I had to have an emergency c-section. I count my blessings each and everyday. I do wish you and your family the best and will keep you in my prayers. |

| Posted 3 months ago I am still in the early stages of dealing with the grief of having lost a child. In fact that's in part the reason my screen name is what it is... it describes my current LEGAL status. So, with this particular thread 'available' I will again share my story in hopes of preventing a similar tragedy. The time around Thanksgiving 2007 was a roller coaster ride for me & my family. At the beginning was the tentative offer for me to return to a Federal Police Officer job and move back to the Southwestern USA.... At the end... 11/29/07 at around 9am, I had stopped on my way home from work to do some holiday shopping.... 10 miles away, at home, my wife was getting ready for a doctors appointment in the upstairs bathroom. She'd just given our 3 y/o son a snack downstairs in the kitchen. Unbeknownst to my wife, our 3 y/o snuck into the master bedroom, and accessed a hidden, loaded handgun (we didn't think the boys even knew there were guns in the home, much less WHERE) with fatal results. My wife heard the shot and rushed to find our youngest with a GSW to the upper chest. 911 was called and everyone came as one would expect... the medics valiantly tried to save our son, and the ER docs also tried in vain but the damage was too great. In fact, in talking with the ER doc, had Joshua shot himself right in the trauma room with everyone ready to react instantly it was a non-survivable wound. {Lemme tell ya, reading the autopsy report was NOT easy}. My wife and I were subsequently charged with (& plead guilty to) the crime of allowing a child access to a loaded gun resulting in injury. There was no legitimate reason for me to have made such a bad decision... I was raised around guns, carried them for a living for almost 20 years, was a certified firearms instructor...if anyone should have known better... it was me! Now I have to face my son's killer EVERY DAY in the mirror... After reading this some of you may have sympathy for me & my family and others may be outraged....either way don't forget to learn from my horrible mistakes....share my story.... send me private messages if you want.... Just remember that if you [or anyone you know] owns a gun it needs to be secure at all times from ANY unauthorized person... like the pool safety awareness programs...it only takes a second.... it CAN happen to you.... Psychotics build castles in the air, Neurotics live in those castles, and Psychiatrists collect the rent. |

| Posted 3 months ago IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW YOU LOSE A CHILD THE HURT IS THE SAME. I LOST A DAUGHTER 25 YEARS AGO SHE WAS 3 MONTHS EARLY. SHE LIVED 17 DAYS. I NEVER GOT TO HOLD HER. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO DEAL WITH IT AND I THINK ALOT OF MY MISTAKES IN LIFE WAS FROM BLAMING MYSELF. BUT AS TIME WENT ON I NEW I HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG. HER BIRTHDAY OR BIRTH MONTH IS THE HARDEST FOR ME STILL. SHE WAS BORN , DIED, AND BURIED IN THE SAME MONTH. BUT I HAVE 2 HEALTHY BOYS NOW 21 & 24 AND I THANK GOD EVERY DAY FOR THEM. I JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER THERE IS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING. |

| Posted 3 months ago I lost two...My first wife and I had a miscarriage the first time, than we had a son who was premature, he had all sorts of problems and we couldnt figure out what it was, he lived in the hospital and he never made it home. He was attached to tubes and wires and lived until 3 days before his 2nd birthday...I was devastated...I love kids and would always do anything for them, and when I lost my own son I just about lost it. I could not do anything but sleep and eat for 4 months, lost my job, almost went bankrupt but I couldnt face the world after loosing 2 children. I feel for everyone, and my door is always open to whoever wants to talk. Do NOT HESITATE!! Contact me and we will talk. I have a little girl now with my second wife, she is turning 2 on the 27th of August and I LOVE HER LIKE CRAZY!!!!!! Cherish your kids, and love every second with them. In_A_Pickle I have your back anytime anyplace, anyone here jumps on you I will jump right back on them. Keep your head up brother. Stay Safe Moose Brian "Moose" Jones

| Posted 2 months ago 17 Years ago I woke up with really bad pains while I was about 20-22 weeks pregnant. I instructed my then hubby to go to work and not worry. I scheduled an appointment with the OB and headed in. He looked me over and sent me up for an ultrasound and I headed to lunch. When I showed back up at the OB office I was met with Silence. The nurse came from her dest to meet me half way across the room with a wheel chair. We talked and I made some phone calls. Hubby met me upstairs as they were inserting my IV. When I left that day I was no longer pregnant and I could not have my baby for a funeral because they wanted to study what was left of it. NICE HUH (luvmyff99) Mrs Tonia Jacob |
