Our Little J Remembrance Project
Donation protected
On June 23, 2015 at 20 weeks and 5 days pregnant, after having Ppromed a week prior, we received the devastating news that our second baby, our little boy's heartbeat had stopped. There is absolutely no words to describe the literal heartbreak that we felt that morning. It felt like a nightmare rushing to the hospital after I started having early active labor contractions, being admitted to Labor & Delivery and being in a delivery room where we could hear the cries and sounds of babies. To know that our baby had already passed and would be born naturally and still was unimaginable. Our Little Jesse was perfect, he had the cutest toes and hands, momma's chin, sweetest resemblance to his big brother and unique scent that I often can smell on his big brother and around our home. It catches me off guard, tugs at my heart and fills my eyes with tears but makes me happy to know he is around us. When any mother and parents find out they have been blessed with a baby, you start to plan and hope for the future. When that is cut short, you not only grieve this beautiful life, you start to grieve many other aspects that follow that loss.
I miss him and love him dearly.
We held and kissed him as much and as long as we could. Still to this day it will never feel like enough. The nurses tried their best to comfort us and help us take pictures of our son and gave us a small care package that we could take home. It was painful to know that these would be the only memories and keepsakes we had of our son. It is pure sadness leaving a hospital with empty arms. All I wanted to do was scream. My heart and arms ached, that feeling of empty arms is indescribable still. Special and simple things have brought some comfort. From planting a tree to honor our son, reading books about grief, journaling about him, lighting candles, and always hearing and saying his name.
In honor of our son Jesse's first birthday on June 23, 2015. We would like to put together and donate 143 comfort packages to the Kaiser Kraemer Hospital where we last held and kissed our son goodbye. These comfort packages would go to any mother/parents that have gone through a late miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss in honor of our son, Jesse. It is so heartbreaking to know that like my husband and I, other mothers and parents leave with empty arms. We would like to bring some comfort with these care packages to remember their babies gone too soon and need your help. Items will be given in a clear case where mothers can continue including keepsakes. Items in care packages will include a grief book, journal, candle, tissue, remembrance frame, clay imprint kit and other comforting gifts. We estimate that these comfort packages will cost approximately $48 each and every penny of the donations withdrawn will go to buying each item to put these packages together.
We hope to continue this project every year on our babies birthday, to honor his life ad bring awareness to Pprom Loss. This means so so so much to us and we thank anyone even just taking the time to read this and making this possible.
We will forever love and miss our son, Jesse.
From the bottom of our hearts, we Thank you...
Sincerely,
Celina, Jesse and Big Brother Noah
