If you lose a parent, You lose your past
If you lose a spouse, You lose your present
If you lose a child, You lose your future

Alex is my angel. My invisible child.
He was stillborn March 1, 1995, but died the day before he was due, on February 25, 1995.
I did not know it at the time, but he probably had EB too, like Nicky. I was told that he had died of a cord accident, but the EB could have played a major part in his demise. To lose him was the hardest thing I ever had to live through...
He will forever live in my heart.

A Solitary Journey

Grief is a solitary journey. No one but you knows how great the hurt is. No one but you can know the gaping hole left in your life when someone you know has died. And no one but you can mourn the silence that was once filled with laughter and song. It is the nature of love and of death to touch every person in a totally unique way. Comfort comes from knowing that people have made the same journey. And solace comes from understanding how others have learned to sing again.

The Mention of His Name

"The mention of my child's name may bring tears to my eyes,
But it never fails to bring music to my ears.
If you are really my friend, let me hear the beautiful music of his name.
It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul.."

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.
