Ogie,
I'm so sorry.
This happened in my family three times, and the last one sticks in my mind as the saddest event of my childhood. Like your daughter my little brother was coming along very nicely before he was lost. Unlike you we didn't acknowledge it very well and the months following were very difficult for us as we all suffered individually the loss that we should have suffered together. I know it isn't easy for you, and won't be. But I am happy to hear that you are taking the steps to deal with this grief in the best way that you can.
Brother, if there was some way I could hug you through the internet....He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!

My wife and I have six kids. However, numbers 2, 5, and 6 had twins that were lost (the most recent last year when she was 38). We didn't give up and we love the ones we are blessed with. Words cannot describe the feeling...

My Condolences Ogie

Again my thanks to all here.
Your well wishes are appreciated.
Today marks my first foray back to work so for me I will return to a normality of sorts. My wife will be taking a full 6 week recovery time for delivery. Hopefully the daily breakdowns will lessen as the grieving process continues. She feels some guilt as she thinks there was something/anything she might have done to prevent it. I keep telling her otherwise but hopefully with time.....
Again I wish to thank each and everyone of you for your kind thoughts.Last edited by Ogie Oglethorpe; June 14, 2004, 09:07."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Don't blame or second guess yourselves. And don't give up.

The process of delivering a baby is hard enough on a woman at the best of times. It can be easy to see how hard the physical part is but sometimes there seems to be an emotional aspect (post natal depression or whatever) that is just as hard, or harder.
My heart goes out to all who have the grief and the emotional turmoil of a still birth to cope with on top. Particularly to your wife, Ogie.
At least she has you to comfort her.Comment

Sorry.Comment

Hey man.
I've just noticed this thread...
I'm so sorry for you.
I can't offer anything to help, besides my deepest regret and sympathy for you and your entire family.
I hope Madison will get the opporunity she wanted to be a perfect and loving elder sister.
I am sure Madison and her future siblings will get warm loving and gracious parents.
May you suffer no more.

Ogie, one thing that has shone through all of your posts:
You have an absolute treasure in Madison.
Not that you needed me to point it out, but hopefully it will help knowing that even the goons from the OT notice it.
