My story... - just so you guys will know...


LoganAndAubreesMommy wrote: I always feel compelled to tell people the story of my daughter's death and what dh and I have been thru'...so here it goes....

I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on September 28, 2004. She was PERFECT in everyway. On June 8, 2005 she was eight and a half months old. I was feeding her in her highchair and she made a huge mess. She knocked the babyfood jar out of my hands and babyfood went EVERYWHERE. I got her out of the highchair and brought her to my bathroom. I ran the water in the tub as I undressed her. I rinsed her off and turned off the water. At that point I realized that I'd forgotten her towel, washcloth and diaper in her room. I hurried accross the house, grabbed what I needed and came IMMEDIATELY back to the bathroom. I wasn't gone for an entire minute. Keep in mind, she had been crawling since she was six months old and was about to begin walking. She was standing up on her own already. When I entered the bathroom I saw her slumped over in the tub. I freaked. After that...everything's a blur. I vaguely remember pulling her out of the tub and attempting CPR. At some point I'd called 911 but I don't remember. They flew her by Air Med to the hospital and did all they could to save her. Needless to say, my life has been a living hell since then. DS was born exactly nine months and two days after we lost our daughter. At times I feel like the worst mother in the world. But I constantly have people telling me that they've done the same thing, thinking that that wouldn't happen to them. I'm asking for your support as I continue to grieve the loss of my daughter and welcome the birth of my son. This is SOOOO hard....it's hard enough dealing with a death or a birth...but both at once...WOW...i'm overwhelmed.

luvbug00 replied: first let me say I'm sorry for your loss. I can't fathom what you must have gone threw. I hope you can find the support you need here . hug.gif

luvmykids replied: hug.gif I can't imagine grieving a loss and celebrating a birth, I'm sure you have been through so many conflicting emotions. I'm sorry for your loss and want to say congrats on your son, it sounds so strange in the same sentence that I can't imagine being in your shoes. hug.gif

I hope you find some support and friendship here, it's a great place.

mckayleesmom replied: Im so sorry sweetie....I hope that time and the joy of your new son will ease some of your pain and guilt. You are not guilty of anything sweetie. Like you said...many of us have done the same thing and not even thought about it.

First I want to tell you how sorry I am. I cannot imagine going through what you have been through.

You will most definately find support here, that I am positive about. The ladies (and a few men) are incredible and not judgemental.

I'll never do it again. I am so sorry for your loss. And yet, so happy for your son's arrival. I hope you find peace and enjoy him every day.

Our Lil' Family replied: I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I can honestly say that I would have done, and have done the same thing. I know that is not much comfort to you but I hope you know that you are not a bad mother. You have a new son to celebrate now. Welcome and I hope you enjoy it here.

By the way, you have to be from Louisiana right? Soileau is definitely a South Louisiana name. I'm going to guess that you, or your husband is from the Ville Platte area?? Am I right? I'm from Lafayette but live in Baton Rouge right now. There is another Lafayette momma here too. I hope to get to know you better.

ETA: I just read your profile, Ville Platte it is huh? My parents are from there. Such a small world!

jcc64 replied: Hi and welcome. I am very sorry for the loss of your baby girl. As you said, it's probably something we've all done at one time or another- life is so random- and it must be nearly impossible to process something so intensely painful. All I can say is, thank god you've been blessed with the impending birth of another child, and I wish you many happy moments with him.

ashtonsmama replied: I'm so sorry-

I can't imagine losing a child like that.
It's definitely a good reminder on tub safety for all of us...how quickly things can happen and turn into tragedies...

I know that nothing we can say right now will ease your pain or guilt you may still be feeling, but in time I know that you will heal.
We're here if you need us, PM me if you ever need to talk.
