Eight months is such a short time to be alive but already you brought so much joy, love and light
into our lives. I will never forget the first time I saw your face, the first time I felt you kick
and the first time I held you in my arms. I have never helped create anything as beautiful as you
before in my life and all of us will never forget you teddy cub bear.
Please light a candle to let me know you have been remembering Jack. If you don't know what to
write a kiss (x) will do. Thank you to all that visit here and remember our angel son. It means so
much to know you are thinking of him.
The Story of Jack
From the moment I saw Jack at the first scan I felt such an overwhelming rush of love and a need to
protect and care for him. He seemed to be waving at me and his daddy Stevo which made us giggle.
My pregnancy was the happiest time of my life and every time we got to see our precious baby boy was
exciting. Jack loved it when I ate icecream, maple and pecan slices and chilli (not all together!).
He wasn't too keen on satsumas or coffee though so I didn't have them anymore. The first time Jack
kicked we were watching a film and laughing. Jack obviously wanted to join in the fun! He knew
Stevo's voice and would kick like mad when I left work and he could hear daddy. I remember at 24
weeks when we went for the 4D scan we were amazed to see Jack's face. He had my nose and sucked his
thumb like his daddy did! If you told me that you could erase all the pain I feel now Jack is gone
but I would have to erase those 8 months we had with Jack too then I would chose not to. Jack will
never be forgotten - he gave us so much and our love for him lives on in everything we do.
Jack's birth story
I started getting stomach pains on 28th July and put it down to wind. It was my first pregnancy and
everything had been perfect so I wasn't stressed about anything. The next morning I was in pain
still but timed the pains and they were irregular so we thought they must be false labour. Then at
lunchtime on 29th July my mum came round and said I should call the maternity unit as she could see
I was not right. I went in and this horrible midwife asked me about movements and when I said I
wasn't sure (as Jack's movements had slowed down but I thought it was due to the fact I was 35 weeks
pregnant and I was in a lot of pain that day) how many times he'd kicked that day, she had a go at
me and I began to feel awful and guilty. She put a heart monitor on my tummy and then called the
doctor in for a ultrasound and then we had to wait for another doctor. I knew then something was
terribly wrong and began sobbing. The next doctor came in and told me that Jack was dead. I felt
overwhelming guilt that this had happened. Then another doctor examined me and said I was 8cm
dilated. I was taken to the labour ward and was in the first stage of labour for a further 5 hours
and ended up pushing for 3 hours, feeling at times like I couldn't carry on as I knew with every
push Jack was closer to being born but he was not alive. He came out with the cord wrapped around
him many times. The midwife had to clamp and cut the cord whilst he was still inside me. Baby Jack
was delivered on to my tummy at 8.29PM. He looked so perfect - all pink and peaceful as if he was
sleeping. I heard the other babies crying on the ward and willed him to make a noise. We had him
with us in the room over night and then stayed most of the next day. I wanted to cuddle him forever
and it was so hard leaving him at the hospital.
The post mortem results show the placenta failed towards the end of pregnancy which meant Jack was
very under weight for his height but apart from that he was perfectly healthy. It is so unjust that
our little boy is gone.
A poem for Jack
The lights in the sky on fireworks night
Fade under my love for you that burns so bright
Remember remember I will never forget
My perfect little son that the world should have met

Little witches
Little witches come and go,
on their broomsticks to and fro,
cackling softly whole night through,
scaring friends both old and new.
Spreads their magic here and there
as they travel with great care,
fun and games with all they share.
Treats will surely be so sweet,
gifts of sweets can’t be beat;
tricks to play on all our friends,
till this day comes to an end.
Dressed in costumes day and night,
ghosts and goblins, quite a sight.
Halloween, what a delight.
"Time can break your heart"
I understand those words more now than anyone should have to. Jack we miss you so much. We lit a candle for you on baby loss awareness day and watched the dvd of you in my womb. You looked so happy and content as you moved around and sucked your thumb. The first time we saw your face we fell in love with you instantly. We will never forget you love mummy x x
We love you too baby Jack
I am Jack's auntie and so wish I had got to know him. I think about and love
him a lot. As Helen's sister I do what I can to make our time together fun or
special or happy but I know that deep down I can not make things okay. It is
just small kindnesses and togetherness that show I care and is pretty much all I
can do. I spent 12 hours finishing a quilt for Jack last week and poured all my
love for him into every stitch. I almost didn't want it to end. When I picked
the fabrics in May and June for Jack with my children we were all so happy and
excited and I hope some of these feelings have found their way into the quilt
too. My children Oliver (7), Philippa and Imogen (5) had great plans for their
time with Jack. They miss him but still talk about him with love. Immi
especially has a great sense of his life going on.
You are a part of the world
Jack. Your cousin Immi had a dream about you last night. She said you were on a Noah's ark laughing at the bats!She also told us "Jack is a part of the world" and you always will be. Stay safe cub bear love mummy xxx
mummy im here love jack xx
Oh little one ,why did you go?
Didnt you realise how much mummy loves you so ?
You gave me such joy to know you were here.
then you left me ,alone ,filled with tears.
Mummy dont cry,I didnt go far.
im just helping the angels and playing with the stars.
Whenever you need me ,just close your eyes
and I will be with you ,right by your side.
Whenever your hurting just whisper my name,
and I will bring cuddles to help you each day.
Dont ever think that you're alone,
the love we share will last forever more.
Until that day when we meet again,
dont worry im safe with my angel family .

Dearest baby Jack
Jack darling baby, your Mummy and Daddy love you very much. You are being missed every time until hours of the day have gone past, a very special thought as your Mum and Dad lay down at the end of the day and a warm loving thought when a new day begins. You look after your Mummy and Daddy now and for always.
If you see my daughter Beatrix up in heaven, please tell her I said hello and I love her very much, wipe our tears, take the pain away and come fly around Mummy's side all the time.
With so much love dear Jack.
Lorelei and James

Today is 1st September - the day I was due to give birth to you. I still can't believe we are apart already. Miss you my beautiful son xxxx
so sorry
There is no greater pain in this world than that of losing your baby before birth. our daughter Gabby was born sleeping July 1, 2007 and not a day goes by that tears dont fall. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Just know you are not alone in this cruel grief, and if you ever need to just talk or anything feel free to contact me, Im always up to hearing about any angel that shares Heaven with Gabby, for I am sure they will play together until we get to hold them again!
