Anthony was my second child but my first son and I only climpsed him straight after he was born and he was whisked a way to a hospital to the premature baby unit. I gave birth to Anthony in a maternity hospital I was never to see my baby again.
Anthony would be 37 years old were he alive today and I mourn my loss so much as Anthony never had a proper funeral.
I feel ashmed and saddened that in the 70s my husband and I were never asked if we wanted our son buried or cremated we were so distraught at our loss we were that traumatised we never thought about a funeral and were never asked. I do not know where he is even today.
In the 70s you were told to just get on with it and as parents greiveing we never even thought about a funeral for our son.
I often wonder what Anthony would have become had he lived. Would he be married now and have children of his own, would he have been a clever person and got him self a good job.
I miss him dreadfully and mistakes were made when I was giving birth to Anthony in the maternity hospital.
A Tiny Hand - by Janet Gilmour
A tiny hand we’ll never hold,
A child without a name.
Your coos and giggles,
Won’t touch our ears,
But we loved you just the same.
The twinkle in your little eyes,
Was not for us to see.
We longed to hold you in our arms,
But it was never to be.
Angels now hold your tiny hand,
They’ve given you a name.
Your coos and giggles grace their ears,
But we’ll miss you just the same.
Those twinkles in your little eyes,
Now light the skies at night.
Angels hold you close in loving arms,
You’re always in their sight.
Tiny hands we’ll never hold,
We have no reason why?
But we’ll always hold you in our heart.
Even though we said goodbye.
To The Child I'll Never Know - by Gloria Dianne
How can I say Good Bye
When I never said Hello,
Why does my heart grieve
For the child I'll never know?
You were a part of me
For just a little while.
I grieve because I'll never see
The magic in your smile.
I grieve for all the unsaid words
That you will never say.
I grieve that I will never see
You happily at play.
I grieve for all the lullabies
That will remain unsung.
I grieve because I'll never see
Your face gleaming like the sun.
I grieve because you will never know
The comfort of my touch.
I grieve because you will never know
That you were loved so much.
I grieve for all the tomorrows
That will never be.
I grieve because God chose
To take you back from me.
You live among the Angels now
Your earthly mission done,
You will be so dearly missed
Good-Bye my little one.
