Lost Lullabies
Our daughter, and first child, Mathilda died shortly before she was born at 40 weeks, 4 days.
We gave birth to her on March 4th, 2016 at 3:41am.
At an ultrasound the day before, we were given the devastating news that our baby was no longer alive, despite being reactive and having a strong heartbeat just two days prior. She was perfect in every way, except she was born still. We had a normal pregnancy filled with lullabies and bed time stories, never knowing that it could all end in silence. We don't have any answers and were told that sometimes these things just happen...
That is a weight we are learning to carry.
Lost Lullabies is a way for us to try and find some of what we've lost, and to discover ways to speak about the unspeakable; to honor our daughter, honor our feelings, and honor these new people staring back at us in the mirror.
If you are visiting Lost Lullabies, your life has probably been touched or altered by the devastation and crushing disappointment of pregnancy and infant loss.We are so, so sorry that you are here, but we are glad that you found us. We hope we can provide some comfort by speaking out, sharing our experiences and being two more voices in the world to tell you that you are not alone.
Here's to our brave and beautiful babies.
