Gregory Zion w/o his tubes . . 2/13/05
I've got a message from Rene tonight after I left work tonight with some sad news . . . Lil Gregory passed away today (not sure exactly what time) after his long fight with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) :( :( . . . .
I've tried to call her back a couple of times to see how she is doing, but so far no response. I'm sure this is a very hard time for her having to lose Gregory after a long fight. Over time, I'm sure the sorrow of losing Gregory will be replaced by the joy that he is in heaven and she will see him again :) . I'm sure she will also be happy to know that her TBR family is here to comfort her as well :thumbup: . . . .

Rene,
I'm so very, very sorry to read this. Please know that we're all here for you if you need to talk about it...my heart goes out to you tonight. I know you've been blessed by having him in your life. You showed him love and caring when he needed it most - and I know you will never forget him.
God bless and I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

We go through life so often,
not stopping to enjoy the day.
And we take each one for granted,
As we travel on our way.
For in your pain and sorrow,
An Angel's Kiss will help you through,
This kiss is very private,
For it is meant for only you.
We never stop to measure,
Anything we just might miss.
But if the wind should blow by softly,
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss.
A kiss that is sent from heaven,
A kiss from up above.
A kiss that is very special,
From someone that you love.
So when, your hearts are heavy,
And filled with tears and pain,
And no one can console you,
Remember once again...
About the ones you grieve for,
Because you sadly miss.
And the gentle breeze you took for granted,
Was just an Angel's Kiss

I'm at a loss for words. Life just isn't fair sometimes. I don't know what else to say cuz I honestly couldn't imagine what you're going through. Lean on those around you heavily. And we're here for you too.

I do not know the people involved in this but my heart goes out to them. I have a child on the way and he is due in about five weeks. Having to go through something like that would be devistating.

Rene,
May you find some comfort that the fact that your baby is now with God, where he feels no more pain, and knew the depth and strength of a mother’s love for all his days here on Earth – even though he did not have enough of them. Peace to you.

This is so tradgic. My heart goes out to you.

I know what you are going through. My daughter Kaitlin would have been 16 last September. Guess there is another child in heaven for her to play with. I pray for your strength and peace. Time is a great healer but the pain never goes away. I will be praying for you when you think the rest of the world has forgotten.
For those of you who want to send a card to Rene via snail mail, PM Me or Muff Spelunker and either one of us will give it to you (I don't want to post it here publicly for privacy reasons you know :) . . . ). If you want to post a quick 'I got it' message here so folks will know who to PM to get her address, that will be cool :) . . . .
How about this . . I will assume everybody in this thread will send a card . . . For those of you who already have it, PM them also with the address so more people will have it (I know a few of yall have it already). I'm heading off to bed now (gotta be at my new job at 8am tomorrow for day #2 . . More on that later!!!!!)

Oh, God, no. http://pondmountain.asmallorange.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif
Rene, I'm so sorry. http://pondmountain.asmallorange.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif It seemed like he was hanging in there, and improving a little each time you posted. What a hard struggle you both fought only to end this way. http://pondmountain.asmallorange.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif
The heartache must be ripping you apart. I pray in time you will be able to find solace and peace in knowing that Gregory will never again feel pain or suffer. He will laugh and love and be loved forever. He will run and jump and play and learn and grow in the presence of God, where he will be forever protected from evil and harm.
And one day, through your faith, you will be reunited with him.
If there's anything we can do, please don't hesitate to call on us.

good post hb :applause:
Bump . . . . . I just talked to Rene a few minutes ago and she said that she is feeling fine. She has been able to peek into TBR briefly during the last few days and appreciates the kind words/thoughts/prayers y'all have left for her during this time :) . . . . At this point, if you want to send Rene a card, send an e-card instead (in other words, for those who have it, discontinue passing along Rene's snail mail address from this point on, OK :) ? ? ? ? ). She requests this for 'personal reasons'. Thanks for your cooperation !!!!

Hi everyone. Thank you for your kind words of support and encouragement. It's been a hard week and the week isn't over yet. It's felt like everyday is a year.
The funeral is today, so I am just getting prepared. I'm holding up okay, the hardest part was letting him go on Sunday. It was bitter-sweet, because for one he was not going to be in pain anymore, but on the other hand he wouldn't be in my life anymore. It's very sad, but I am at peace with it.
I'm never going to be the same b/c of this, but I know that God will get us through it. He never does anything that doesn't result in something positive. I trust that it will be okay.
To those of you who have sent me cards as of Shawn's last message.. thank you very-very much, I will embrace them when they come and I can't wait. Shawn, thank you for relating all of this info to the group, I appreciate it.
I'm not sure how I am going to handle the funeral today, but I am sure it will be okay. I started taking St. John's wart for my depression and i've also been seeing my counselor. There is also an online support group for parents of CDH babies and those who are grieving over losses. It's been helpful knowing that I am not alone and that I did all I possibly could to make sure my baby was healthy.
God bless you all, thanks for keeping us in your prayers. I'm praying for my own strength and peace as well. I'll update later. Thanks again,
Rene

It will be Rene - it has to be. You know, I said the exact same thing when my sister died and it helped me enormously - I hope that's the case for you too. I'm glad that you've found some support out there, with other parents of CDH babies - I'll be thinking of what you're going through today Rene, holding you in my prayers. Go well, and let us know if you need anything.
Ingrid
Peace be with you today Rene.

Vitamins are great for improving your state of mind. I started loading up on vitamins when my mother passed and they took the "dragged down, complete and utter tiredness" out of my body, which helped give me the strength to get up and go on every day.
My thoughts and prayers are with you today Rene.

As you can see my sense of humor has started to come back and I am a bit more optimistic.. I have been, there are good times and bad times, but for the most part I am okay and will be okay.. it's still all hard to believe.
I am back to work now, and that's keeping me busy thank Goodness.
Thank yall all again.. your encouragement and sharing in the sorrow has been so helpful to me.. I am trying now to move on and be strong in my life again.
