• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I had him for a short time-too short
Seven weeks--a glorious seven weeks
He was innocent, special and precious
I loved him more than my life itself
Could I given mine for his I would have
But that choice was not mine in the end

I prayed for him every day to arrive
Then by a miracle he became reality
The joy in my heart was immeasurable
I was atop cloud nine for those weeks
I daydreamed and made such plans
Such fabulous plans and dreams

Then one day I found it was not to be
My precious was to be taken from me
Ripped not just from heart and life
But straight from my body came his life
God gave me a gift so grand to me
But what God gives can also be taken

I cherish now the seven weeks I had
The memories are all I have left of him
How he felt as he grew inside of me
The bond that now can never complete
To say I am sad is a travesty of that word
A part of me died when he was torn away

I try to see the good in what I did have
I had what so many want but can't
Even though it was so short a time
I was blessed to have had it at all
I shall not regret the life that was
I shall try to remember the joy he gave

Seven weeks may seem so short a time
But for him it was his eternity with me
We had a bond that will never fade
It has now been three years and so
I still feel the joy and pain the same
I know he waits for me with eagerness

I look so forward to see his face
I never saw it here on this Earth
But I also know I will see it some day
Until then God will grant me patience
Until I can hug him and look in his eyes
I wonder--what color are those eyes?

Free
I am free now
free from hate
free from pain
free from anger

I am free now
because you loved me
because you cared for me
because you are there for me

I am free now
you have called me home
you have dressed me in white
you have laid down your life

I am free now
free to help
free to give
free to love

I am free now
because you died for me
because you are God's Son
because you set me free.


This Candle
This candle I light for you my little one
Who God gave me for a short time
In my womb you were formed
In His hands you were born
Tonight this candle I light for you.

My Dearest Corey,

I only knew you for a few weeks, but in that time I learned to love you and want to see you. Your father and I were so looking forward to holding you in our arms come November, but that isn't going to come. I take comfort in the fact that you are with the wonderful God that I serve, I take comfort in the fact that you are not alone there, you are with your cousin that was to be born around the time that I lost you. I love you so much my dear sweet one. When we found out that you were no longer with us, we were so upset and terrified, confused and angery. I just want you to know that you are loved so much. Soon we will find out what could be answers to our questions, but even if we do not find anything out, just know that you will always be in our hearts.

When we have other children we will tell them about you. You were our first child and therefore our most dearest child. I just wish that time could go backwards and we could have you back with us. I know that that will never be possible so I will just wait until we are reunited in Heaven. I don't know how long that will be but I know that you will be well taken care of. You have lots of family there with you now. And I know that you are going to be watching over your father and me. I am so happy that you are in a wonderful place and I am so pleased that God chose for you to be with him. I don't know what trials and tribulations we are going to go through here on earth, but I know that you will be looking out for us. I will always carry you in my heart and I will always love you. I will never forget about you.

I love you so very much,

Mommy.

Thank you for sharing your heart. It echos what my husband and I are feeling. We lost our baby this week on Monday. It was our first pregnancy too. We are 37, and were so excited to have our first child in November. The pain of this loss is terrible. It has simply amazed me that the love for someone you've never met, held, or even looked at could be so intense. It does bring us comfort though, that our child is being raised in heaven, where it will never know sorrow. We are grateful to God, for the time He entrusted our child to our care, to allow us to experience a love we never before knew about. Now, we are simply trying to cope with the loss, feel the feelings - whatever they are, and move on.

i had a miscarriage on 2-27-06. i didnt wanna believe the test was +, and then i started crying alone and was kinda sick for a week 1/2 and then was talking to my lil angel, but it died... :(

i'm only 19 and was raped and thats why i was preg. and miscarried! :( i hope the baby was a babygirl, cuz i could've taught her alot of cool stuff i learned in life. :( i miss our talks at night in bed. (me and baby).

i wanted to feel the baby kick, but it misc. so i didnt get to. it's hard, cuz y'all are the only ones who know the test was + and i miscarried. :( i'm ok though.

I didnt know i was pregnant, but calculating time i would have been around seven to eight weeks. For some reason i started having bad pain and bleeding, my mother was real worried and we were at the hospital, they said i had miscarried. It was the biggest shock of my life not to mention a new found pain. Something maternal kicks in and you feel like you've lost something so precious, its hard not to cry when you see another mother and child.

I pray that God will bless us agian someday with another child and we know that He has our first in His hands.

Hey! I would like to share my poem to Zac and Aydan as well. You can put it up if you want to and just put Jennie as my name. Here is the poem:

You Two Were With Me (Poem to Zac and Aydan)
It happened when I least expected it
The day I found out there were two
Was the most exciting day ever
I told your father about you both
And he could not believe his ears
No one knew the joy we felt
I experienced so much with you
Good days and bad,
They were both precious to me
Because you both were with me
Even in my sick days,
I had so much joy just knowing
that you two were with me
through all of it.
The first time we seen you kick
the first time we seen you move
no one could have felt happier
We knew one of you was a groover
And the other was a little lazy
But we loved you both
I had an awful scare one night
Thinking that I had lost you
But found out both of you were still with me
I remember the first time I felt you move
And the many times after
I knew you were both safe
Everything I went through was worth it
Because both of you were with me
The Day came too soon
That I found out
You were going to be taken from me
And in those last moments
Before you were born,
You were both with me one last time.
Then, all of a sudden,
I was alone again, without both of you
I suddenly realized
that you weren't with me anymore.
It hurts to know
That the two of you should be with me still,
But it's also comforting to know,
That you are both now together with God.
I know he is taking care of you both.
I know you are both waiting for the day,
when your father and I can join you.
But until that day,
I want both of you to know
That I had never been happier
Than when I carried you.
And I want you to also know
that every day that goes by
You are both still with me,
As I go through life
You will both still be with me.
I will never know better days
than the days you two were with me.

If you need anything else from me, just let me know! :)
