I am sorry for your loss. I found out I was pregnant 4 months after my oldest nephew was killed in a multi death car accident. My sister (his Mom) truly believes that after 12 years of me not using birth control that somehow it was meant for her to lose a child & me gain one. Maybe that sounds harsh, but her idea is that for every loss there is a gain. We might not understand or agree, but she believes that. I make a point of my daughter knowing who Poppy (my Dad) & Jason (my nephew who was killed) are. In our family we dont forget them just because they are no longer physically with us. I believe its very important for the family unit. We tell stories & look at pictures. Sometimes we laugh & sometimes we cry. My previous CF doctor (who also had CF) passed away. His brother who was a Nurse on the hospital floor for the CF patients (he also had CF) had triplets (obviously using fertility methods) & named the boy after his brother. Fortunately my doctor did get to enjoy his nieces/nephew before he passed. Sometimes we have to look at the bright side of things no matter how dark it seems. Your little one is your bright side!!!!!!!!!
My daughter died last October at 22 from CF. Her sister had a daughter 2 years before her death because her sister wanted her her to . She was going to wait until she got her degree but she wanted her sister to enjoy her why she still could. She allowed her sister to be in the delivery room when my granddaughter was born. I believe my daughter wanted us to have someone to help us get thru the pain of her loss. My daughter was the most amazing person and I miss her now but My granddaughter is the light of my life and I do believe her death would have been harder without her in my life. I believe God put both my little angels in my life for a reason and I will always have the most beautiful memories of my daughter Elizabeth.
I lost my sister to CF last year. My daughter is also named after her. As crazy as this sounds, my husband and I decided to have a baby when we did because I knew that my sister did not have much time left and I wanted her to be a part of it. She wanted her as badly as I did. For many reasons, my daughter will always remind me of her.
