This Month ([name_f]September[/name_f]) I lost my precious baby at only 9 weeks. It was an early loss but it’s still been an emotional toll. I found comfort in naming my little one. It makes it seem more real. It gives an identity to the baby I lost so early. I named my tiny child [name_m]Tane[/name_m] [name_u]Harbor[/name_u]. I put a lot of thought into this name. I wanted something that would bring me peace and comfort. I chose [name_m]Tane[/name_m] because it’s gender neutral (at least to me) [name_m]Tane[/name_m] is the Polynesian God of light, forests, and birds. [name_f]Every[/name_f] morning [name_m]Tane[/name_m] lifts the seams of the [name_f]Earth[/name_f] to let in the light of the Heavens. This seemed so positive and radiant to me. [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] was another choice with meaning in mind. Ships dock in harbors. It’s where they find safety. I find safety knowing my child is a bringer of light. He/she brought light into my world even if it was just for a short 9 weeks. I hope he/she finds safety in the place he/she went. I love you [name_m]Tane[/name_m] [name_u]Harbor[/name_u]. You’ll forever be my angel baby. <3
Thank you everybody <3
I’ve had a lot of support through this and I’ve been doing better lately.
Thanks for all your kind words. They’re much appreciated.
What beautiful words about your little one. I know how hard it is having lost my own child around the same time. It will get easier to bear, but [name_m]Tane[/name_m] will always be a part of you, and that’s something you can hold tightly to for comfort.
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious little one. I am saying a prayer that the [name_m]Lord[/name_m] will comfort you as you grieve.
2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 [name_f]Praise[/name_f] be to the God and Father of our [name_m]Lord[/name_m] [name_m]Jesus[/name_m] [name_m]Christ[/name_m], the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves received from God."
