I think of my own grandmother and Aunty who experienced the loss of their babies under these circumstances... My grandmother tells the story of how she didn't even know she had given birth to twins until several days later when a nurse 'slipped up' and mentioned that the boy had died... My Aunty that lost her baby was the other twin! And I was so blessed to have them BOTH there to see Mikaila after she was born, and my grandmother holding my hand through the birth!!!
Here is the link to the video... it is only a few minutes long and well worth watching... we have come so far in accepting grief and the loss of our infants. I am eternally grateful for the time I was able to spend with Mikaila, the photos I have of her, and the fact that I was able to give her a funeral...
