Ken, Karen and Kendall:
This has to be one of the most difficult and painful situations any one
will ever have to cope with and try to understand in a lifetime.
I wish I could offer you more than a bushel of hugs, a ton of love and
"many thoughts and a prayer" every day for all "four" of you.
God Bless (and take special care of Little Preston)!!

Many many hugs and warm thoughts.

| I can't say that I understand, as I have never experienced the loss of
a post-born child. We have, however, lost a pre-born child and know
how hard that was. Be assured that Preston is in the arms of God being
taken care of. I am truly sorry for your loss. May God bless you and
keep you in your time of need.
Peace,
Mike

| I do feel the hurt you do since we too lost our Stacy Jean. She will
always live in out hearts even if she never lived on this earth. I'm
sitting here with tears feeling your pain. Just remember, no one says
you have to "get over it", just try to get used to it, and go on
knowing you loved him for the 9 months he was with you here.
Keep in touch

| Kristen,
Please take this home to Karen and her husband. I work in Marlboro, MA.
I have been searching this notesfile for a situation similar to ours.
Karen, I am so sorry this happened to you. I have recently been through a
very similar situation, the shock and the pain are unbelievable.
Our daughter Jenna died when my water broke and a blood vessel in the cord
broke, four days after my due date, August 09, 1990.Turns out the vessels in
the cord had grown separately at the placenta end and when I went into labor
one broke. This is called Vasa Previa with a Velementous Insertion of the cord.
(a 1 in 5000 statistic) I never had a sign of having this condition or
anything wrong at all.
Jenna was our first child, I am 31 yrs old. If you dont mind advice from a
stranger, I have some. It might be too late for some...but here goes.
-hold on to each other, these things can make or break a marriage, get help
if you need it
-forgive people for all the crazy reactions they have, and all the dumb
things they say, there will be many. You will have friends who will act
like this never happened or will never say the baby's name. You tell them,
"his name was Preston"! Most people have no idea how to deal with such
grief.
-keep Preston a part of your family forever...keep his picture out, is
things in a special place, (and dont put his things away until you are
ready!) talk about him over and over forever. He IS part of your family.
-Dont feel you have to be too strong..."lose it" whenever you feel like it.
-Read about infant death and grief, read lots. It will help you understand
your reactions and help you realize these things have happened to many
other people...I thought we were the only ones.
I have only been back to work for a few weeks, life will never be the same.
But in a few months we will try again and that child will know all about
Jenna. Call or send mail any time. I am sure Preston was beautiful and he
will cross my mind now and again.

| 343.13 | Happy Birthday Preston | SCAACT::COX | Manager, Dallas ACT | Thu Sep 12 1991 10:50 | 8 |
| Today would have been Preston's birthday, and I've been thinking about him
quite a bit. Karen got the package and no longer works here, but I'm know
he's probably on her mind more than usual today. They planned to buy a
headstone for his grave, for his first birthday. Sorry to bring up this
sad topic again, but I'm feeling pretty sad about Preston and knew you all
would understand......

| 343.14 | let them know you remembered | PERFCT::TRIPP | | Thu Sep 12 1991 11:34 | 15 |
| How thoughtful of you to remember this day.
From one who has been there, acknowledge to Preston's parents that
*you* remembered the day. I felt just so alone on Stacy's first
birthday, and everyone since like I (we) were the only one's aware of
her birth date. And as I approached the subject with a close friend,
she said she was aware of the date but thought it best not to bring it
up.
If you can put a flower on the baby's grave, my inlaws did this one
year, since the cemetary is literally in their backyard, and it made me
feel better.
Hugs for your kind remembrance...
Lyn
