Baby Loss Awareness Month - Day 1

Day 1 – Sunrise
Auckland New Zealand
Beautiful sunrise for a beautiful boy.

Today marks the 1st day of October.  This month is Baby Loss Awareness Month.  Something I didn’t know about until this year but something that has already given me a whole new world of support from people who belong to the same group as me. 
I’m taking part in a project called “Capturing Your Grief” in honor of Hunter.  I’m creating memories for him.

I am back at work now, it’s extremely hard.  I’ve made me desk as comfy as possible with photos, quotes, memories.  But I still hate it.  I’m away from my baby Cooper and I feel so away from Hunter.  Working makes it all seem worse.  I sit at my desk and tears build up in my eyes as I think about the past four months and all the hope and happiness I had during pregnancy with Hunter.  The past two weeks I’ve felt further away from him than ever.

I realized when thinking about Hunter that I can’t remember asking his Doctors one vital question and it’s played on my mind since Saturday evening.  Did I ask them if they’ve tried everything for him?  Did I ask them to do more?  Did I ask them what would of happened if we didn’t turn his life support off?  I can’t remember.  I need to know the answer.  I will call Starship and talk to his Doctor.

I’ve been trying to do more Hunter, always more.  But I don’t know how much more I can keep doing more.  We’ve got a place for him at home with photos, candles, books, his things.  We’ve got his hand prints and foot prints.  I’ve got my necklaces, Mathew and I both have tattoos of his hand prints.  But it’s not enough.  We need more.  What are we going to do when we run out of ‘more’? 

I don’t know what to do to make it hurt less.  All of the things I’ve been doing they haven’t helped.  It keeps hurting more and more.  I miss him so much.  I just want him back.

Is death over yet?

I love you Hunter.

An angel in the book of life wrote down Hunters birth, he quickly closed the book and whispered, too beautiful for this earth.
