My daughter-in-law (Keli) and son (Ryan) felt great excitement and anticipation with the upcoming birth of their first child, Adam, in May 2004.

They loved him so very much. They would shower him with love and help him develop and grow into a wonderful person.

Words are totally inadequate to describe the tremendous loss and deep sadness when Adam's heart stopped beating before he even took his first breath.

Adam is still loved and will never be forgotten by his parents and many others.

Glory Angel born still September 14,2010 and just missed the "stillbirth" name by 2 days. She was 19 weeks 5 days but was as perfect as could be down to the most beautiful fingers I have every seen.

my nieces' little girl angel Emmy Robin was Born Still. She was only a few days from her due date. Emmy Robin was perfect in every way. Emmy Robin will always be a part of our Family. To anyone who feels uncomfortable when the Little one is mentioned, I just want to say......all you have to do is Listen, it's ok to cry, it's ok to empathize, but the important thing to do is just Listen. Feelings need to be vocalized, hands need to be held, memories, even of this sad time, need to be heard.

Thank you so much for sharing your stories.....I am not sure if you know but October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. This day is dedicated to all babies who's lives ended too soon and grieving families who will forever love and miss them.

This video is perfect. I cried through it all, relating so easily to everything that was said. In exactly one month, it will be 3 years since my baby girl, Avery, was stillborn. I still live with a hole in my heart, missing her and who she should be today. Watching this video made me feel less alone in this terrible reality of living without your child when no one understands and everyone wants to pretend she never happened. Thank you for making this and giving parents like us a voice.

Thanks for making this video. I can very well relate to all the feelings described in it. I miss my sons every day. Marlon died in March 2011 and Tobias was born sleeping in December 2012. (marlon-and-tobias#dot#com)

Thank you for making this video. It speaks what I feel all the time.

My son Caden was born sleeping at 39 weeks Nov 4, 2012 due to a cord accident.

He was my first child.

He remains the best thing I've ever done.
