“Vilomah" a name for parents whose child has passed away….
 
I am the mother to an angel.  At the young age of 21, my husband and I lost our stillborn daughter. Her loss took us through the darkest periods of our life yet we are here, we don’t have all the answers but we have lived through the first few years of grief and am still making it day to day. My hope is that I can provide some little piece of comfort or support to another mom, another dad, another family member who finds themselves going through a difficult situation. We want our daughter to be remembered and we wanted to honor her memory by helping other families.

When You Feel Alone

Oftentimes after the loss of an infant, child, or loved one. I came across thoughts of mine from some years ago and don’t share them to hurt feelings of those close to me, I share them with bereaved parents. I want bereaved parents to know that what you are feeling and anything you may be experiencing, I get it. I’m here if you ever need to talk. ​
when you feel alone
Alone….. Over my last four years, I have felt this emotion too many times to count. As I’ve continued to grow and discover things about myself, my losing Samantha, and the emotions that controlled me, I still don’t understand why so many people in my life left me, my husband and I alone, but they did. I don’t say this to offend, hurt, or blame anyone, as I love my family and friends dearly but in our greatest time of need, we were told to move on and try again. There were those who felt the need to compare our loss. Others completely shut down, blocked out all conversations that anything had ever even occurred.

Alone… I realize that growing up in the southern culture may be different from so many other cultures out there. We tend to keep to ourselves, lead very private lives when it comes to difficulties or hard times. Though, it doesn’t make me feel any differently about how alone my husband and I have felt throughout our journey, I do understand where some of our friends and family were coming from. Thinking it was better not to pry, not to force a conversation.

Alone…There were other loved ones who didn’t realize how hard Kris and I took our loss, even several years later, they’re surprised that either one of us remembers her or wants to dedicate time to helping those in similar situations. For these folks, my hope is that they remain aware of families like ours, that they take the time to pay attention and to be there for those who need them the most. ​

Thank you for so sincere sharing about the difficult part of your life with your husband. I respect you are helping other people with such problems. As for me, something comes into my head, when I thing about loneliness. I remember what Bruno Ferrero said about that. It sounds like this. In the soul there is a place of loneliness that can't be fulfilled no with close people, no with some things, no with hobbies etc., only the love of God can fulfill this place. When I feel alone I remember about that:)
