Now that you mention it I can see that other messages seemed to have evaporated too. <br /><br />I'm sorry to hear of your losses. My 2nd loss was only 3 months into the pregnancy but affected me deeply. Its odd how people react to this ind of knowledge. Nobody expected me to have a funeral although it was taken for granted that I would for the first loss. Only my mam ever asked me what I called my 2nd lost girl. Lizzie, above had some thoughts on tis too. She hopes to plant tree now to honour her loss from years ago. I think that is a beautiful idea because it seems that the memory never fades.<br /><br />___________________________<br /><br />Thank you all once again or all of your messages.

Not so much to let people know (although I now know that the blogging community is a safe environment for this) but more to stop letting it all build up inside. I do feel better now.<br /><br />Another thing that has stuck with me, is that everyone that attended Nina's funeral (Catholics, Buddhists, Pagans, Agnostics and Athiests) all felt that this was a beautiful cam way to be laid to rest. A green burial. Many have regimentally been frogmarched to un-holistic ceremonies that just don't quite gel. Ceremonies that don't feel right. A green burial seems to be common ground between all faiths and spiritualities. Because who doesn't love nature, right?<br /><br />Thank you again xxxJasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101808317736275755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872550165815178618.post-60823461188856471592009-12-02T08:36:28.353-08:002009-12-02T08:36:28.353-08:00Hello Jasmine My Dear Friend, I am catching up an...Hello Jasmine My Dear Friend, I am catching up and just now read your lovely tribute to your lost baby girls.
