Our daughter Isabella Kira was stillborn at 23 weeks. She was born at 9.40pm Heartlands hospital on the 6th September 2009, weighing exactly 1lb. She had a postmortem and nothing at all was found so we have no explanation for why she died.
---------------------------------------------------
I woke up in the middle of the night and I knew that you were gone, I clung to the hope that I was wrong and that I'd just not noticed you moving. I'd only had a scan a few short weeks before and everything was fine, the midwife had only checked your heartbeat a few days before, how could you be gone? I did'nt want to worry Daddy so I didnt say anything. I came home from dropping your brother and sister to school and had a hot drink and a lie down to see if you would wake up. I phoned the hospital and they said to come down straight away. The nurses tried to reassure me but they couldnt find your heartbeat, then two scans confirmed what I already knew "I'm sorry but your baby has passed away". They told me some things and that I had to take a tablet and go to the hospital in two days, I was just numb and shaking. I carried you for two more days, I have never cried so much my whole life, hoping there had just been some terrible mistake.
When we got to the hospital the first thing I heard were all the other babies crying which was so so hard, why did everyone else get to keep their babies and not us when we loved you so much?. This was the hardest labour I'd ever gone through, it just felt so wrong. Daddy read me a book to try and keep me calm through the early stages and we listened to our favourite music.
When you were born we wrapped you in the red and white stripy blanket I'd bought a few weeks before. We held you and looked at your tiny tiny perfect feet and hands. The nurse found a tiny pink hat and a tiny little knitted dress that would fit and took some hand and footprints. We kept you with us the whole night, tucked in a tiny wicker basket you looked like you were just silently sleeping beside us. You never did wake up, and we miss you today and forever little one. A little piece of my heart went with you never to return.

The River Lullaby
Hush now, my baby
Be still, love, don't cry
Sleep as you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember my last lullaby
So I'll be with you when you dream
River, o river
Flow gently for me
Such precious cargo you bear
Do you know somewhere
he can live free?
River, deliver her there...
FOR ISABELLA KIRA
Most innocent of innocents
Perfect in every way,
By an unseen angel on noiseless wings
You were silently borne away.
To another place where angels sing
And all is peace and calm
To be a little cherubim
Protected from all harm.
God keep, my tiny stillborn child,
In your tender loving care
And this my plea dear Lord shall be
Through anguish and despair,
That if it be your will oh Lord,
Please keep her presence near,
Her perfect soul entwined with mine -
My precious little dear.
Lynn Trowbridge - Isabella's Great-Great Aunt
Little tiny babe
Glimpsed but not known
Resting on the heart of God
Treasured in our own.
Sadness will not be yours
-eternal joy and peace
No tears to shed as ours
God bless, sweet babe, be free.
Sue & Chris Hodrien (grandparents)
To Isabella from your Nana
To a beautiful treasure
A feather on a branch
Once seen and admired
Then vanished in a glance
You hold what is valued
In hearts and in minds
Once held never forgetten
Our thoughts all entwined
A breeze or a whisper
A hint in the air
A spirit so precious
Taken far in the air
A whisper, a feeling
Our memories will last
We will never forget you
As you live in our hearts
♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.
Did you ever feel a tiny raindrop
trickle down from the sky
and land upon your cheek
when there is no rain in sight….
and wonder where it came from
when the day is sunny and bright?
♥*•.
Did you ever hear someone
clearly call out your name,
and when you turned to look
there’s not a familiar face
anywhere around
and wonder where it came from,
when the voice was there
without an ounce of doubt?
♥*•.
The answer is quite simple you see,
Angels are everywhere
watching over you and me….
Though at times we don’t feel
a presence at our side.
Angels are always there
morning, noon and night,
in the most mysterious of ways….
looking after us with much love
forever and always.
♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.♥*•.
Written by: Laura Strickland �
angels called your name so gently,
That only you could hear.
No one heard the footsteps,
Of angels drawing near.
Softly from the shadows
There came a gentle call,
You closed your eyes and went to sleep,
And quietly left us all.

THINKING OF YOU ALL
Words of Comfort
--Author Unknown
Late at night when I am sleeping,
I can hear God's quiet voice speak.
I can hear the words of comfort,
Words of love that I do seek.
My child, I will walk with you,
Hold your hand through painful years.
I will never leave your side,
I will wipe away all of your tears.
I feel the pain you're feeling,
Know the torment you go through.
For I, have lost my son to death,
My heart was saddened, just like you.
But my son rose to eternal life,
Your child has done the same.
He was given a new body,
He even has a different name.
He sees the rainbow every day,
Feels the sun shine on his face.
He only knows a smile now,
In My glorious, peaceful place.
He has mansions built for him,
He runs and has such fun!
I know you will be joining him,
When your work on earth is done.
He's now at peace forever more,
I will keep him safe from any harms.
He awaits you walking through the gates,
For you to hold him in your arms.
LOVE ALISON XXXXXX
Tears in Heaven
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Cos I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door
There's a peace I'm sure
And I know
There'll be no more
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Cos I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
a snowdrop
The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one we long for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
Every beating of our hearts
Says of our love for you.
