Your
Son |
Hi
Friend,
I am from 'Silent Grief' as well. I am on the
m/c board. I visited your sons' site. And it is very
beautiful. I love his little hand and footprints. They
are special. And I read all about him.
I too lost a baby in my 10th week. He passed away at
9wks 4 days. He was 28grams, 22mm and was born at 11:10am.
His Birthday is February 2nd, name Isaiah-Grace.
I love all of your poems and songs as well. They were
so lovely. So many reminded me of my baby. The poem
"He Lost A Baby Too" I had given to my husband
on our babys' due date. He cried when he came to the
part "He hears her crying in the night, and thinks
his heart will break" as he said that is how he
feels.
This poem I wrote for my baby. It is a letter from him
in heaven to me his Mommy and Daddy. It means a lot
to me as it is all of the things I PRAY he felt and
heard when he was in the womb. If you like it, you may
use it on your page.

I KNOW YOU LOVED ME ' |

Thomas |
Dear
Mr. and Mrs. Dixon,
I am sorry to hear about your terrible loss. I first
heard about your darling son on the pregnancy lounge
and on the day I first heard I lit a candle for Thomas
in is memory. I hope you didn't mind me doing this.
I think the dedication you have done on the web is absolutely
wonderful and reading it brought me to tears. I know
no words can ease your pain but I wanted you to know
that my thoughts are with you and little Thomas. All
the blessings in the world.
Love Lisa xx |

Hi
Tori,
Just been and visited the website you've created for
Thomas and it touched me so deeply I'm almost
in tears. For the first time I can feel a real sense
of the pain you must be going through and how much you
and Mag loved your baby. I'm so heart wrenchingly
sad for you both. I hope the days will slowly get easier
for you though I know this won't happen anytime soon.
I just wanted to say that my thoughts are with you both.

so
sorry for your loss |
I
saw your beautiful tribute to your son, Thomas.
It was forwarded to me by stillnomore.cox.net.
I especially like the pictures and your poem "Like".
I am so sorry your son was stillborn. My daughter was
born still at 38 weeks on August 8, 2003. I understand
what you are going through. I wish I could say it will
be all better soon, but it takes a very long time for
grief to express itself. It is like being in the ocean.
Sometimes the water is calm and you can swim around
in peace. Other times a big wave that you didn't see
at all will knock you down, disorienting you. Some days
you will be fine and others will be more difficult.
I wish you peace during your journey.

just received your Website from Still-no-more,
and was so very touched my your story of your baby Tom,
that I just wanted to E-mail you both to let you know

the scar will never fade. I just want to give you both
encouragement to go on with you lives. It will be hard,
but FAITH will carry you though this terrible
time. I know I'm been there. You must keep trying.
We were blessed with a second son on Memorial Day 1972.
Little Grant. Now 31. The joy of my life. So
there is HOPE and tomorrow will be a better day!
I know the Sun will shine again for you both.

Your
tiny angel Thomas |
Dear
Mr. and Mrs. Dixon
Please accept my deepest sympathy and know that you
are in my heart and prayers. I am in the United States,
Minnesota. This is to say that he is in heaven with
my angel daughter, Jamie Sue who was stillborn
Dec. 3, 2002. She was 38.5 weeks gestation. So I completely
understand your pain and emptiness. The feelings that
no one can understand until they have experienced it.
I am here to say that after one year, I feel that the
Veil of darkness and numbness is starting to lift. It
is so beautiful how you made a website and shared your
experience. I think it is a loving tribute to your son.
I am here across the ocean to help, if you would like
helpful websites to go on to, I would be happy to give
you any information. Be good to yourselves, cherish
Thomas in your hearts and know that the Lord
loves you so and will bring comfort to your hearts.

I
received your link from the Stillborn Society.
What a wonderful tribute you have created. I am so sorry
for your loss. Our baby Nicholas would have been
two years old tomorrow (January 22). We lost him at
37 weeks gestation due to a cord accident. Although
we have a 6-month-old baby girl now, our Nicholas
will never be forgotten.
People say that it gets better with time, although for
us, as we watch our Chelsea grow, it seems to
be getting worse. I'm so sorry that you didn't get to
see him or have pictures of him. That must be so difficult.
I know it is very early and forgive me for even suggesting
it, but please feel free to contact me should the day
come when you decide to conceive again. I had an e-mail
friend who I found from a grief chat room who helped
me get through my subsequent pregnancy. I kept her note
for many months until the day came when I needed her.
No one understands the stress of going through a pregnancy
after a loss except for one who has already done it.

Thomas'
website |
Dear
Vicky and Magnus,
This website is beautiful, as I know precious Thomas
was. I was sent the link through NSS. What a
sad story.... *Sigh* I recognised a lot of your
story through my own experience when we lost our third
son @39 weeks, stillborn, cause unknown.
How unfortunate the staff didn't take photos of Thomas
soon after he was born. I want you to know that through
the National Stillbirth Society and other contacts,
I do work on baby images' I call it "enhancing".
This is work I do simply to help others who have gone
through what I have gone through. I enhanced an image
just last week through Richards' site for a couples'
stillborn baby boy. Please feel free to email me an
image of your son if you feel comfortable. I would love
to have a go at "enhancing" Thomas' image so
you can feel comfortable sharing his pic with others.
In any event I am so sorry and wish you well in the
future.

Remembrance of Thomas Dixon |
Dear
Parents of Baby Thomas,
Baby Thomas, though no longer with you, made
a serious impact on your life. This huge impact (if
it could be measured) would show that Thomas's
life, even though born still, is a life full of meaning!
Your baby, with you for such a short time, was still
alive. He may have been born dead, but he lived! Embrace
and find as much joy as you can in his short and rich
life.
I find your web page inspirational! Thank you for making
it!
In remembrance of my daughter, Emalee, born still
August 3, 2002, 36 weeks gestational age,
I send my heartfelt sympathies to you and your family.

your
website. |
My
son Luke was stillborn on his due date, on what
should have been his birthday, June 12, 2001. I published
this article about my experience, about nine months
after I lost him. http://archive.salon.com/mwt/feature/2002/03/20/stillborn/.
I thought you might want to read it. I wrote this for
myself, to record my feelings, and being that I'm a
writer by profession, I sought to have it published.
But, I was not prepared for the response that it got.
I didn't even think anyone would publish it because
of the subject matter. I just wanted to get my own thoughts
down, but the response was overwhelming. Right now,
I don't even know how you had the will or strength to
create your web site. Right now, you probably can't
imagine that you'll ever climb out of the darkest depths
of your grief. Right now, joy or comfort or peace is
beyond your reach. But it does get better, easier.
Just a year to the date that I lost my son, in June,
2002, I was ready to try again and became pregnant with
my second child. She was born on March 1, 2003 and is
today nearly 11 months old. She has changed everything.
Before I had my daughter, I wanted to stay attached
to my grief because it was all I had of Luke, and
it was all I had of being a mother. Once you have even
a taste of that feeling, you'll take it any way you
can get it. But, it was all I knew, and while I was
pregnant again, I actually feared that I wouldn't be
able to get over my grief enough to love this second
child as much as I should. Well, I could not have been
more wrong. In fact, the guilt works the other way sometimes.
My daughter so took over my life, she is so much the
focus of all my love and attention and has brought us
such joy and happiness, that I find I have to work at
staying "in touch" with my son. I am so caught
up in her that I do sometimes forget, and as time goes
on, I find myself feeling more and more removed from
the pain and the loss.
No one can tell you when you should try for another
baby. I was told to do so right away, but I couldn't.
I waited exactly one year, and was still unsure about
it until I found out I was pregnant again. And I remember
the day I found out feeling, for the first time in a
year, truly happy and hopeful, that my life would recover
from the loss, that after having so much taken from
me, I was being given something back. I remember feeling
that I was finally being restored to my former self.
But I spent that entire nine months lost in thinking
about Luke, in reliving all of it, until the
very moment I had Cailan. And then, everything
was different. It was like I could feel the wound on
my heart healing overnight. The minute I held my daughter,
all that grief and sadness and confusion was gone. I
don't know if it's like this for all people. I feel
like I have to say I still carry that grief inside me,
but the truth is that I don't. My daughter is such a
gift and blessing to me, such a miracle, that I feel
it dishonors her to feel sad about anything or to dwell
on what was taken from me. I feel she deserves for me
to feel grateful and joyful every minute of my life,
and I am, I am grateful for her. And I think that all
I've been through was the road I had to travel to get
to her. That's what I believe now. But, everyone has
to find their own path through this.
One thing I've learned in my brief contact with other
parents in this situation is that everyone experiences
this differently. It's difficult to share, because everyone
has very different ideas and feelings and perspectives.
But for me, ultimately, the answer to everything was
having another child. I hope that you will soon find
your own path.
Best,
Robin Wallace Verona, N.J., USA |

I
stumbled upon your website as some poems were forwarded
through a stillbirth board I am on. My heart aches for
you so fresh in your grief. On Oct 22, 2002 I lost my
first daughter to stillbirth. She was 33 1/2 weeks gestation
and I had no idea that anything was wrong as the pregnancy
was "perfect" as the doctor's said. It was the
hardest thing I ever did, having to give birth and hear
the quiet room. After I lost Jordan. I also had
a miscarriage very early at 5 1/2 weeks on Jan 11, 2003.
Really took the wind out of my sails. I know what you
are going through and it hurts me to see and hear of
loving parents that want to be Mummies and Daddies and
just can't. It is so hard.
A bright note. I did have a healthy baby girl on Oct
8 2003. It was the longest pregnancy I have ever had
and there were problems with the fluid. It was hard
but I know Taylor had Jordan watching
over her in heaven. If you ever need to talk I am here.
Though I do have Taylor now. The pain of Jordan
is still fresh and will be with me always.

Hi
there I am a mommy too |
Mr.
and Mrs. Dixon,
My name is Sabrina, I lost my son Nicholas
Austin May 16 2003, He was much wanted and much
loved and my only child. I miss him every day, wondering
what I did wrong. I know everyone says its Mother Nature
or God's will but it still bloody hurts. I was 36 weeks
pregnant when I lost Nicholas he was 4 lbs. 4
oz, and 18 inches. I will stop there cause I know how
fresh and painful it is... I have opened a on line support
group and I have met 100 mommies who have lost a baby
due to miscarriage stillbirth, neo natal and SIDS, some
have had birth disorders but most are stillbirth.
I am from Ontario Canada, and trying so hard
to make stillbirth a known issue here because it has
been happening way too often! I personally know of 6
people in my town or surrounding area who also had a
stillborn baby yet I knew nothing of stillbirth until
it happened to me. I want to invite you and your husband
to my web site and consider joining us and helping us
help you cope. You don't have to talk right away you
can take your time and it helps to talk and just read
others and what they are going through knowing u r not
alone! We have 40 mommies in our groups and their husbands,
I have made some wonderful friends that I hold so dear.
I make them precious graphics in memory of their angels.
Please join us and share your story. I hope we can help
in making you feel an ounce better.. HUGS and
I am so sorry to hear of your loss! It is the most trying
thing to deal with when it is a loss of a much-wanted
baby! I lost my grandmother 2 weeks prior to my sons
death. So it was a very rough 4 weeks..
You can e-mail me any time I am here if you need me!
I know this sounds strange cause we never met, but I
thought that too when these moms I know emailed me in
the beginning! Your web site is Awesome!
Here is the link to my on line support group. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Our_Angels_loved/

I
am deeply saddened to read about the loss of your baby
boy. I just wanted to express my sympathy as I too lost
a baby to stillbirth. I proudly carried my baby girl
for 35 weeks, before finding out the gut wrenching news
that my baby had passed away. There was a problem with
the umbilical cord that took my daughters life. We named
her Mila and I miss her everyday.
I know what you are going through and nothing about
it is easy. I know many times how alone you must feel.
Time has helped ease the pain for me, as I hope it does
for you.
Best wishes to you and your husband.

Dear
Thomas' Mum,
I'm very sorry to read about your loss. Thomas
is a lovely name as I'm sure your Thomas was
too. My name is Emma, I'm from the U.K. Back
in October 2003 my husband and I lost William Daniel
Cotterill at 30 weeks pregnant. My story is very
similar to yours, I too was ignored by hospital staff
as a panicky Mum to be - yet my intuition told me something
wasn't right.
Our box for William is in the nursery along with
the cot, pram and all the other lovely things we had
for him. It contains his hand and footprints my wrist
tag and his baby book that I'd already started to fill
in, all the cards we were sent and well every precious
thing we have that concerns him.
I get Williams post-mortem results back on Monday
I just don't want them to knock me back as I'm just
getting back to being myself but a whole new different
version of me - if that makes sense.
I'm sure you will get a huge response from your beautiful
website feel free to contact me at my e-mail address.
Take Care of Yourselves
Lots of love Emma |

Beautiful
baby Thomas |
Thank
you for visiting my brothers' website and for signing
his guestbook. It is comforting to know that at least
he is not forgotten.
Although you only have two photos of Thomas,
you made something very special for him, and that I
will always be thankful for, because you shared him
with me and I know that he existed and that his memory
will be with me forever.
I know there are no words I can give to you to take
the hurt away of losing your second child but I know
that as Thomas looks down on you from heaven
he is touching your heart in so many ways. Somedays
you might feel sad but he looks at you and says 'Mommy,
why are crying?' and you will see him in your dreams
and thoughts and when you look up at the night sky and
tell him 'because I got to have you, and you brought
me such happiness and for that I will always be thankful.'
Little Thomas is in heaven with Little Baby D
and they are looking after each other and Thomas
is acting like the big brother.
Have faith in the Lord and lay all your anxieties on
him and he will heal you and send you love via a special
messenger when you need it the most, and don't forget,
you have two little angels watching over you and guiding
you and keeping you safe until that day when you can
come to be with them and embrace them in your arms...
You'll be a family once more.
Hang in there...
With Love Amanda |

your guest book |
Dear
Vicky and Magnus,
Thanks for finding my son Joshua's story and for taking
the time to read his story.
You have created a stunning web site for Thomas and
he is such a lucky boy to have such very loving parents
as you both.
I can relate to so many of your feelings, I still do
today, four months on. Like you, I found making memories
by the cart load the only way I could cope with my grief,
it at least made me feel I was doing something! The
desperation will eventually go, and will be replaced
in time. Be kind to yourselves, don't get frustrated
that your grief takes so long, it will. Just be there
for each other, love Thomas, and do as many wonderful
things as you can to remember him.
With My Love,
Fiona Beavan

Your

Dear
parents of baby Thomas,
Your website is truly beautiful and has touched my heart
in a way that I don't know how to express to you both.
Reading your words, it feels as if you are reading my
thoughts and feelings aloud.
I am so so sorry for the loss of your little boy, and
for the terrible pain that you are both feeling. My
heart truly goes out to you now and always.
My little angel LAURIECE JULIA ROSSETTER was
born still on 10th October 2003 at 24 weeks gestation.
My daughter Lauriece's due date was today (27th
Jan 2004) and I want to thank you for the comfort that
your kind words and poems have brought me today.
I also have two other little angels in heaven, October
2002 - miscarriage at 8 weeks January 2003 - miscarriage
at 6 weeks. Not a day goes by that I don't think of
them.
From reading your website, I feel like I have made a
friend. Somebody who understands - Thank you so much.
Please feel free to contact me any time!
My thoughts are with you
Love and support

Thomas |
I
came across your site, via another site I had visited.
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious baby son,
and I know the agony of your heartache, as I too lost
my son, Conner Michael on March 16th, 2003. He
was stillborn at 32 weeks. It saddens me and breaks
my heart that I do not have him here to hold, that he
will forever remain my "baby", and that I will
never have the chance to watch him grow.
Sending warm and gentle hugs your way..
~ Dionne
Conner
Michael 03~16~03 Stillborn...but, born still.

Hi
|
Hi
Vicky,
I just saw your entry in our guest book on our website
and went to visit yours. It is a beautiful memorial
to your son, Thomas. I am sorry that we have
to walk this same path together. In addition to losing
our son, Davey, in August of 2003, we, too, had
a miscarriage in October, 2002. However, I am confident
that both of us will have more children that we will
hold here on earth!
Thanks for the nice message you put on our web site.
I tried to put a message in your guestbook, but didn't
see a place to submit it, so I am sending this email
instead. I, too, have read many helpful things on the
Silent Grief website. I am a registered user,
but I don't really post anything.
Take care and have strength,
Lisa |

Oh
my I have tears streaming down my face and I can't think
straight. What a beautiful site for your sweet little
Thomas. I am so sorry he's not here with you.
I know your pain all too well I have six angels babies
of my own. The pain of loosing a child is something
so intense it's indescribable. Someone once said to
me "When you lose a child you become a part of a
club you never asked to join but once you have, you
have to meet all the members" I've found it to be
very helpful to meet others who have experienced what
I have even though it pains me to learn of another baby
who has died.
I hope you have the support of friends and family that
you so desperately need during this horrible time. I
know we don't know one another but if there ever was
a time you felt like talking or thought I could be of
some help please don't hesitate to let me know. I also
am a member of the on-line support group for mothers
through Honored Babies it's been very helpful to me.
Take gentle care of yourself.
Sending kisses to our little ones in the sky
Hugs,
Danielle O'Connor Mother to my SKY BABIES:
Taylur 12/27/99 stillborn
Astin Wyatt 1/6/01 miscarried
Savannah Grace 4/21/03 stillborn

Dear
Magnus & Vicky,
My fingers are trembling as I write this message, I
am unbelievably overwhelmed after reading your story
and tributes to baby Thomas. It is a beautiful
website.
I was absolutely shocked when I heard of your loss and
a day has not gone by that I have not thought of you.
Thomas is very lucky to have such caring and
proud parents as you both
All my love

Missing
Angels |
Hello,
My name is 'Courtney'. I recently read your web
page for your son 'Thomas' --- it was beautiful
I cried the whole time because your story is just like
mine!
I lost a baby at 10 weeks in March 2003. 09/08/2003
we found out that we were pregnant again we were very
excited but scared. We didn't tell anyone until after
the first trimester because we were scared that we would
lose the baby.
December the 7th 2003 we found out that we were having
a boy. My husband was ecstatic. We decided to name him
'Tristin Seth Russell Morace'. (My husbands'
name is 'Seth' and my Father in-laws name is
'Russell') We let our guard down then because
I was so far along and every appointment was so good.
We were so happy!
My next appointment was January 8, 2004 it was just
a regular visit until my doctor checked for the heart
beat --- silence --- nothing --- so then he did
a sonogram I didn't think that anything was wrong because
I could feel him moving. When they did a sonogram ---
silence --- stillness --- no movement --- nothing.
No one in the room said anything. I just remember thinking
god isn't going to take my baby. He wouldn't do this
to me! He will bring my baby back! (My doctor said when
I was feeling him move that was just him floating in
the fluid)
My doctor admitted me that night and induced me at 7:00
p.m. I believed so much that God wouldn't take him from
me that before they induced me I made them check for
a heart beat again! Still nothing ---- silence.
The next morning my husband woke up and said that he
had a dream that when 'Tristin' was born he was
breathing - but the doctors wouldn't do anything. 'Tristin'
was born still at 7:58 am January 9, 2004. Whenever
he was born I couldn't cry --- I don't know why but
I couldn't. I got to hold him and my mom and my sister
got to see him, but my husband couldn't do it - he broke
down and he said that it would make it harder for him
to deal with. This is a decision he later regretted.
We have pictures of 'Tristin'. Even thought he
was only 22 weeks gestation he still looked exactly
like 'Seth' (my husband) We laid him to rest
01/11/04. I know exactly how you feel!
I hope to hear from you soon
--- Courtney --- |

Thomas' Guestbook |
I
stumbled across your memorial website as I was trying
to come to terms with the death of my daughter. I am
so sorry for your losses.
Your website was beautifully put together and brought
tears to my eyes. I admire your courage to share your
thoughts and stories.
I lost my baby girl 'Jenny Mikayla' at Christmas
time. She just stopped kicking, we went to the doctor
on December 23rd, they couldn't find a heartbeat. I
was admitted Christmas morning and 'Jenny' was
born on boxing day.
She was a beautiful perfect looking 2-lb baby. Holding
her in my arms was the most precious moment of my life.
I miss her so much.
Thank you for letting me glimpse into your lives, you
will be in my prayers.
Love Christine |

Hi
Vicky,
I just read your story of 'Thomas'. I am so incredibly
sorry for your loss. Your story is touching, a beautiful
tribute to your son.
I was wondering if I could publish your story on my
site with a link to direct people to yours. So they
can read your poetry and so on. I can't imagine how
heartbreaking this is for you, and I am so sorry.
With love and best Wishes
Corrin.

your
website is great |
Hi!
My name is Sandy. I lost my son at 37 weeks;
he had a knot in his cord. I can't seem to bring myself
to do what you have done yet - It is all still so new
and painful.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Please feel free to email me - I would love to have
someone to chat with who knows how I feel.

Hello
Vicky,
I read your update on the NSS site, and thought
I would check in with you. Your website is so beautiful
for Thomas. I was wondering how you are doing.
I will be thinking of you on Tuesday and will say prayer
for your family.
Love,
Lauren ~ Caleigh's mommy 12/2/03 ~ |
