30-10-2009 - I need your help.. OkMy mood while writing this blog:
Ok



There is a soldier in my husband's unit who's wife is pregnant. They have been told, pretty definately it seems, (they are already making arrangements for the funeral), that the baby wont survive long after birth due to something to do with the brain, we don't know the specifics because my husband isn't that kind of guy, and I'm not really friends with this girl.. They as a couple are far from family, just like a lot of soldier's families (us included) and having been through a loss and I'm pregnant I feel compelled to show her that she has support here besides the mental health workers and doctors... So, my question is, what would be an appropriate gift or gesture? I want something tangible... When I lost our baby I was given a rock that says "gone yet not forgotten, even though we are apart, your spirit lives with in me, forever in my heart" and I see it everyday when I go into my bathroom, it reminds me of her, to take a second for her and I really appreciate it, so do you think it would be okay if I got them something like this?? or would I be overstepping boundries since we aren't really close?

I found my stone!! I think I may get it for her..

I agree...I think this is very thoughtful of you!! I would give it to them as well :)

I also think that the rock idea would be nice. I also think that the picture thing would be great also. When i lost my little guy (I was 19 weeks preg) i would loved to have had someone take some pics of us, him for me. Sadly his memories will only ever live in my mind and heart! I will say prayers for this family in hopes for a miracle!

There was a news story here about 6 months ago about a photographer who dealt with this exact kind of situation. She would come right after the birth and capture what little time the family had together. I would investigate photographers near you and see if you can find one who does this. Then give her that contact information. This might not be something she is even thinking about and to me capturing those days would be priceless.

Oh that must be so hard to know that your baby will not survive afterbirth...my heart goes out to her family. I think if you got her a stone like yours, that would be great. i have a wall hanging and its says "May God's Angels watch over you" everytime i see it think not only of Morgan, but my other angels.

I would absolutely give it to them once the baby is born (obviously who knows at this point what the outcome will definitely be...miracles do happen and hopefully will for them). Remember, actions speak louder than words...it would be a wonderful gesture on your part to let her know that you are thinking of them...you are very sweet! :) What a tragic story...

I think that's very thoughtful and would make a perfect gift for the circumstance....
