I haven't been around in a long time but I came everyday! This was my Saving Grace! Thank you Clara Hinton! I'm not sure how I would have survived but it is now soon to be my son's 9th birthday in Heaven! He was born at 29 weeks, with an abdominal birth defect, I had preeclampsia and they had to take him early. He lived 2 months 24 days! All in the NICU! I'm at peace with things. Here is my problem..... What if everyone forgets about him? My mom is good about keeping his memory alive, my mother in law sends cards every birthday for him and angel anniversary, my sister and I are real close and she won't, I just have this urge to scream " I had a precious son and don't forget," I've not felt like this before. Two of the people from the NICU at the time we were post pictures of their kids all the time. Sorry for rambling nut that's what is going on right now. Any suggestions? My Daddy passed away 3 years ago. I was very close to him. I know they are together playing!

I think you have to reconcile within yourself. Life does move forward and gone does not mean forgotten. You have not forgotten him and don't assume that because he's not mentioned by others that he has been forgotten - it's simply life takes over.

Your son will not ever be forgotten. He was here and blessed everyone with his spirit. Like my daughter, who has also been gone for 9 years. We will remember them forever and rejoice when we see them again. People may not mention our child, but they are always remembered.

Agreed. My daughter passed away 'only' 4 years ago, and people don't mention her often. Occasionally I meet new people, and because of the high profile situation of her death (she was murdered by a 9-time repeat DUI offender), some recognize me and become more emotional than I do, saying that I've been in their thoughts, ever since. For them, I think if has been a relief that they could finally tell me in person that they were sorry for our loss. I know my family remembers our daughter, especially around the holidays. My uncle and aunt lost a baby who lived for about 1 or 2 days, but after the first holiday, no one in our family ever brings up the loss of their child, yet we all know. Only occasionally, their son's name will be mentioned, but in reference to perhaps other life events about someone else's death, pregnancy, health-related complications, etc. No one really acknowledged him as 'a person.'
