Honoring Our Baby Girl - Life After Infant Loss | Family Memorial

[@christeengolden6132]

In 1975, I was pregnant with twins. I miscarried one. Almost 4 years ago, her sister, Sunshine passed away with cancer. Death is the hardest hurt anyone can ever imagine, at any stage. With the baby we lost, we always felt like someone was missing. With the one that lived, losing her just before her 46th birthday, I can't explain. God bless you. He is the only one who can touch where you hurt. Love you

[@Kaleidescope66]

I am terribly sorry for your loss. ❤

[@lig8817]

I too am a mother of an angel baby. I am so sorry for the loss of both your angels. God bless you.

[@micheleparker8553]

Sorry for your loss.

[@bernievandewalker1420]

Perhaps your gift from an angel was the safe return of your husband and son from a flight that could have been very devastating. A true guardian angel.

[@michellepelkey51]

In memory of your sweet girl, put magnolia flowers on your Christmas tree. They are beautiful just like your baby girl. Hugs & blessings to you & your family.

[@leanneadams2549]

I think that is a precious and very beautiful idea !!!!❤

[@Katz1950]

I think about Magnolia often when I watch your videos..especially when you’re holding Violet…they say all things happen for a reason, but no reasoning can explain such a loss. Violet surviving and thriving is such a blessing. I wish we all could wrap our arms around you. Know that some of us have shed many tears along with you. 🦋

[@lesleywatkins1172]

My son Richard died at 3 days old 41 years ago, time doesn’t heal the pain it just helps you learn to cope with the grief. Love to you all. ❤

[@cassieevans4852]

Thinking of you as well and Totally agree, it’s been 24 years since I lost my son and it never goes away, the simple things makes me cry on days, you just learn to cope with your new norm.

Lauren, there is no time period for grief. Losing a child is the hardest part of life. May God continue to comfort you, Mark,and the rest of family. Maggie always be a part of your family. You will see her again. God bless!!!!

[@karlaruter3221]

Amen 🙏

[@judithbutler9695]

Lauren, you have been through so much both physically and mentally, you soldiered on and saved sweet Violets life while grieving Magnolia. You will never forget, never not feel the ache. You did finish your pregnancy strong and thank you for sharing this most intimate part of your life. Hugging you and praying for.

[@ohcaga1]

Magnolia will always be your first born daughter. Yes, you have changed and grown stronger in your faith. Magnolia showed you loved and sacrifice. Continue to be proud of her. She'll always be a part of you and the family. 🤍🕊🧸

[@melissaharris5389]

Losing a baby is the silent club no one ever wanted to join. It's been 38 years since my stillbirth, and I've not forgotten. There is no right way to walk through the grief, but to keep moving. The people around you anchor you and help keep you moving. I am so sorry for your loss. Your journey touches other's lives. Knowing that others have walked a similar path allows someone else not feel so alone. Thank you for being brave enough to share the most personal pain a person can carry. So many hugs and tears to you and your family.

[@gwenndemby7851]

Lauren, I commiserate with you on sweet Magnolia's transition. My only son was stillborn 33 years ago and I still feel it. May the love of God comfort and strengthen you and your family. Magnolia lives in sweet baby Violet. The two became one, praying for you 🙏🏿♥️

[@shirleyfromm2039]

Lauren crying along with you. I lost my first child a beautiful daughter in 1974 She was premature and lived a few hours. The nurses never brought her to me so i never got to see her. After having 4 healthy sons and another daughter i had a miscarriage in 1984. Those children are loved and thought about every day. Lots of love and prayers to you and your family

Maggie will always live on through Violet! You can look at Violet and see exactly what Maggie looks like at the same age! How special is that! God Bless!

Surrounding your family with hugs and prayers❤️There is a Belks store I go to and a Magnolia tree is in front of it. Everytime I walk in front of the tree,I think of your Maggie and send a prayer❤️

[@elizabethzabinski2051]

Oh honey, this memorial video resonated deeply with me. I am 79 years old and l lost both my firstborn twins when l was 21, at times l still feel the grief, although it has gotten easier to bear over the years. It is so lovely you have these things to remember your dearly loved Maggie, l have none of these things, and l am so happy that you do. Sometimes, usually at night when l can’t sleep, l remember my little ones and hold their memory close. Much love to you and your family

[@sandrabusha3552]

I have just started following your channel and have enjoyed watching you and your family. I was a twin and my brother did not make it. This was a most touching memorial to Maggie and my heart goes out to you and your family. This is the first time I have commented on any channel.

[@suekoons7487]

Don't be sorry for crying! We had a son killed in an industrial accident 16 years ago. He was 21. I felt the Spirit all through your podcast. Our son Peter, we try to do something for his birthday on Feb. 17th and the day he died, August 30th . We go to his grave and put flowers on his grave. I know when the Lord comes back, we will be able to see our loved ones again! Take care, love you and your family!

[@darlynsamson4970]

Magnolia means everlasting connection. Even her name means the bond that holds your family together. What a gift. Lauren, your wound is our wound. I hope that sharing lessens your pain. I know that your sharing your experience has created understanding and awareness. I am sending my prayers to you for healing and comfort.

[@rdavism1]

Our family lost a little 24 week boy 30 years ago. He lived 4 days and died in our arms. Today 24 week babies often thrive in NICU. We lost him couple of days before Christmas. It took about a decade before we could truly enjoy Christmas again. Grief is difficult to get through but with it comes such an appreciation for our easier days.

[@glendaroberts5965]

There’s no way anyone can put a time limit on grief. Grief is a individual process and it’s hard. Lauren you are such a beautiful person and Magnolia was your baby and we both know where she’s at right now. She’s your angel looking down and smiling on her Mom. One day you’ll see her again. ❤

[@karenleemallonee684]

Baby Magnolia, you are loved, you are missed and will forever be remembered. Your Dad, Mom, Brothers and Sister have a sweet Angel helping Jesus watch over them. May your love shine brightly, little one. 💟

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Oh my Lauren, I know how hard this was for you to do ! Baby Magnolia will always shine in the life of Violet also !! This was a precious memorial and so heartwarming! I cried along with you through the whole video! Watch the whole journey of the pregnancy, procedures , loss and birth was heartbreaking as if I was there with you all ! Hearing Violets voice after your singing was so precious and seeing her look at the memorial things was precious! The Lego flowers were a great choice for memory flowers and watching the family making them was so sweet . Much much prayers for you all and much love being sent also !! ❤️🙏

My Sarah is the brightest star in the sky. Born sleeping 13 yrs ago. My husband, daughter and I talk about her but nobody else in our lives mention her. I gave birth to two daughters. My now 11 yr old knows she had a sister. I to have a special keepsake box which I open a couple of times a year. I still cry from time to time. Hang in there! Cry as much as you need to. My thoughts are with you and the family. ❤

[@TheHarleysmaster47]

Lauren there is no right or wrong way or.time table for grieving. You just take it 1 day at a time and work through it. You take your time and heal. The pain never goes away unfortunately. You just work through it. You have your good days and your bad days. Just know you're not alone and know MAGGIE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The boys are so precious and good with you and Baby Violet. Westin is so sweet with you feeling such empathy for his mom. I noticed the little hug 🤗 he gave you during the memorial. ❤. Thank you for sharing such beautiful memories of Magnolia. Jesus blessed you with Magnolia and Violet. You will make Christmas wonderful for your whole family including our Savior Jesus Christ , who holds Magnolia and your family in His healing hands.

Maggie is so blessed that God chose you to be her Momma ❤🙏🏻

I've never carried past 12 weeks - I've had multiple losses and I can understand some of your pain. I'm now 42 and single following a marriage breakdown and no other relationship which has worked out. I'm at peace with being alone now but it's taken a while to get here and I'm not sure I'll ever get over not being able to be a mum.

[@victoriaking1980]

My heart goes out to you. I know what it’s like to lose a child. I lost my son at the age of 18 he would now be 56 years old but not a day goes by that I still don’t think of him you will always keep Maggie in your heart and when you see a rainbow or when you see something that’s so precious to you you’ll know she saying hi mom stay strong I’m OK. sending you bunches of hugs and love from one broken hearted mama to another. God bless you.
