I would like to see it -- I know there is a loss board at one other site I frequent and it helps me so very much. The things people come in and share -- even just things like, "my friend lost her baby last year; should I send a Mothers' Day card?", or "my mom told me she had a baby before me and I never knew it..." are all important things to share, ya know? I am amazed at how many people from my November EC lost babies early in the pregnancy, just as I lost Naomi, and I have one good online friend who was due one day after me, who found out she lost her baby right after I found out, whose baby died at about the same gestation (within days of one another) and who had a D and C at exactly the same time in the morning even the day I had mine! (it was actually scarey to be going through such extremely similar things, point by point... and she and I have grown quite close because of our shared losses). Anyway -- if it makes anyone uncomfortable to have a loss forum here, I understand -- I just thought I'd throw the idea out and see what anyone thinks -------------------- Blessings, Zem Loving all our many babies... 6 born into my arms and 4 born into Heaven from my womb

Unfortunetly not everything in life is all good and sometimes we do need to talk about the bad....I'm glad that you're finding some help and comfort somewhere.

We have a list of new forums and will start adding them one by one in the next few weeks with a loss board being one of them. What title/name should we give this forum? Please give all your suggestions. Also, do you think this should go under general forums or some other category (Pregnancy)?

Me too, Me too!! Group: Members Posts: 2,795 Member No.: 26 Joined: 28-February 03	I think it should go under General Forums because you can lose a child after birth as well as before or during. Just my Angels Among Us as a suggestion for the title....... -------------------- Beverly, DH Eje, and mom to PJ, 20 Leah, 18 Sara, 16 Anders, 5 and Emily, almost 2 "A mother holds her children's hands for just a little while, but she holds their hearts forever."

I agree too that it should be in the general forums, for the reason you state. The other board I visit, which has a loss board, calls their "Empty Arms" and is definitely geared to those who've lost a baby/child. But, I think it would be nice for anyone who has lost... anyone... to be free to come in and share and post about their loved one, no matter who it is, and receive loving responses, kwim? I can't believe how you all and the women on the other boards I'm on (just a couple others ) have helped me through my rough weeks -- I wish I had had such a support system all those years ago when I lost my other babes. You all are wonderful folks. -------------------- Blessings, Zem Loving all our many babies... 6 born into my arms and 4 born into Heaven from my womb

There's been so many loses lately, it would be a great place for them to talk about things. -------------------- ~Marie, mom to Robbie, 15 and Anthony, 7 and our newest addition, Mia Eliana~ ~~I promise to forget you not, my angels in heaven being watched by our fallen heroes, Dec 23 08, April 1 09, & May 18 09~~

I am very in the middle of the sandwich generation - caring for a child as well as a parent.
