Michael and Bailey, I was deeply touched by the picture of your beautiful baby boy, Aidan. I know that there are no words that can be said or actions that can be taken to ease your overwhelming grief at this time. I do want you to know, however, that you are not alone. Our twin baby boys, Joseph and Andrew, were born on March 8 of this year and did not survive. They were (and are) our first babies. We love and miss them so much and are so sad that we did not have the opportunity to raise them. They will live forever in our hearts, as I am sure that Aidan will for you. I know that we do not know one another, but I think of you and your family often because I know the overwhelming sorrow and grief that you are experiencing right now. Please let me know if you are interested in communicating or talking at all. I am willing to speak with you if you feel that it would help. I know that when it first happened for us that I did not know of anyone that had lost a baby because of stillbirth and would have liked the opportunity to speak to someone. If you do not wish to speak, that is fine. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Pamela pbedard@stclaircollege.ca
