Sheyenne's Story! 

I was conceived December 28, 2005. Mommy and daddy had been trying for so long to have me and was unable to. Mommy went to see a Dr. and he gave mommy some medicine so that she could get pregnant. It finally happened. Mommy and Daddy were both so happy. They called my Grandparents to tell them and they too were happy. Mommy went to the Dr. and they started us on our routine appointments. Mommy and Daddy had there first picture of me in May 2006 at 22 weeks gestation. The Dr. said that I was very active and mommy agreed. All was well, then I slowed down and did not move to much. Mommy got concerned and called the Dr. The Dr. said to come in and we will do a stress test, that was on June,5 2006. But the Dr. Thought that all was well. Said that my heart rate was good and I was in the lower part of mommy's back. He gave mommy some things to do that should cause me to move and at first I did. But then I again slowed down and on Saturday July 8, 2006 was the last good kick that mommy felt. I still moved some but not much. Mommy did not know that there was a problem and I was having a hard time. She went to her regular Dr's. appointment on July 12, 2006. The Dr. told her that they needed to do another ultrasound. I was 30 weeks old when the Dr. told Mommy and Daddy that I was in trouble. They sent me to Washington University Hospital in Seattle, WA. On the ambulance ride there I died. Daddy was following in the truck. When Mommy and Daddy called my Grandparents they all cried. Both of my Grandma's came to be with my mommy and daddy, three days later July 15, 2006 at 7P.M. mommy gave birth.  I was 2 lbs, 4 oz, and 15 ins. long.  
Little Ole Me. 




Special Angel In Heaven

There is a special Angel in Heaven
that is a part of me.
It is not where I wanted her
but where God wanted her to be.

She was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though she is in Heaven
she isn't very far.

She touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
I would've held her every minute
if the end I only knew.

So I send this special message
to the Heavens up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send her all my love.



HI DADDY   

Hi Daddy, its me,

Your baby girl in the sky.

Won't you tell me Daddy, Why does my mommy cry?

Doesnt she know I'm happy here,

Heaven's a beautiful place Oh, how it hurts me, Daddy

To see tears streaming down Mommy's face.

Daddy, tell her I'm much better here,

Jesus fixed my heart. But when I see mommy crying, It just about tears it apart.

I know it hurt you both, Daddy, When Jesus took me away.

But you and mommy remember, We'll be together again someday.

I can't wait to hug you, I never got the chance before. When its time for you to come, I'll be waiting at heavens door.

Then you'll both understand, Jesus knew where I needed to be.

What a marvelous place to live, Just wait and you both shall see.

Please let my Mommy know, Daddy,

That I heard every word she said. And I remember her softly kissing me As I lay cuddled in her arms.

Just one more thing Daddy, Before I have to go, I love you both very much And just wanted you to know.

I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, "I know."

I said, "I cry alot."
And God said, "That's why I gave you tears."

I said, "Life is so hard."
And God said, "That's why I gave you loved ones."

I said, "But my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."

I said, "It's such a great unbearable loss."
And God said, "I saw mine nailed to the cross."

I said, "But your Son lives."
And God said, "So does yours."

I said, "Where are they now?"
And God said, "My Son is by my side and your
Angel is in my arms....."
 


I'll Be There

Daddy please don’t look so sad, momma please don't cry.
'Cause I'm in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.
Please, try not to question God, don't think He is unkind.
Don't think He sent me to you, and then He changed His mind

You see, I am a special child, and I'm needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him, the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you, and watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that’s gleaming, that’s my halo's brilliant light.

You'll see me in the morning frost that mists your windowpane.
That's me, in the summer showers; I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze, from a gentle wind that blows,
That's me, I'll be there, planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing and your heart feels a tug,
That's me, I'll be there, giving your heart a hug.
So daddy, please don't look so sad, and momma don't you cry,
I'm in the arms of Jesus, and He sings me lullabies.



 




My Child

On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked a lot of whys??
With people all around me
I felt alone inside
From all their words of comfort,
I couldn't seem to hide,
I thought I might be dreaming
That I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "This can't be happening."
As I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
My heart broke yet again,
I wondered if the pain would end,
But mostly, I wondered when??
It's hard to be without you,
At times the days seem long,
Sometimes I just sit crying,
When there's really nothing wrong.
I wish we'd had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
My precious little one. 






The Child We Had

O precious tiny sweet little one you will always be to me,
so perfect pure and innocent just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and of your life and all that it would be,
we waited and longed for you to come and join our family.
We never had the chance to play, to laugh to rock to wiggle,
we long to hold you, touch you now and listen to you giggle.
I will always be your mother, he'll always be your dad,
you will always be our child, the child that we had.
But now your gone...but yet your here,
we'll sense you everywhere,
you are our sorrow and our joy there's love in every tear.
Just know our love goes deep and strong,
we'll forget you never.
The child we had, but never had and yet we'll have forever!













The Mention of Her Name
May bring tears to my eyes,
But it never fails to bring
Music to my ears.
If you are really my friend,
Let me hear the beautiful music of her name.
It soothes my broken heart,
And it sings to my soul.

Broken Chain

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again 





All of my parent's wishes and dreams came apart that night but just 2 weeks later my parents had to return to the doctor again.  Mommy and Daddy were told that there autospy report had showed that Mommy had several blood clots in her placenta and that some passed to my cord restricting the blood and oxygen flow to me. The cause for the clots was determined to be caused from PLACENTAL ABRUPTION. A portion of my placenta had come unattached from the uterine wall and begin to die off causeing the blood clots.  There was not enough attached and good palcenta left to support me. It caused my heart to become stressed and finally to fail.  They also told my Mommy that whenever she was ready they would give her some feritility medicine so that she could have another baby.  I am here in heaven now so I can help Mommy by watching over my baby bother or sister whenever that time comes.






Bereaved Parents Wish List


I wish my child hadn't died. I wish I had her back.

I wish you wouldn't be afraid to speak Sheyenne's name. My child lived and was very important to me. I need to hear that she was important to you also.

If I cry and get emotional when you talk about her, I wish you knew that it isn't because you have hurt me. Her death is the cause of my tears. You have talked about her and you have allowed me to share my grief. I thank you for both.

Being a bereaved parent is not contagious, so I wish you wouldn't shy away from me. I need you now more than ever.

I need diversions, so I do want to hear about you, but I also want you to hear about me. I might be sad and I might cry, but I wish you would let me talk about my child; my favorite topic of the day.

I know that you think of and pray for me often. I also know that  her death pains you too. I wish you would let me know these things through a phone call, a card or note, or a real big hug.

I wish you wouldn't expect my grief to be over. These first years are traumatic for me, but I wish you could understand that my grief will never be over. I will suffer the death of my child until the day I die.

I am working hard in my recovery, but I wish you could understand that I will never fully recover. I will always miss my child and I will always grieve that she is gone.

I wish you wouldn't expect me "not to think about it" or "be happy". Neither will happen for a very long time, so don't frustrate yourself.

I don't want to have a "Pity party", but I do wish you would let me grieve. I must hurt before I can heal.

I wish you understood how my life has shattered. I know it is miserable for you to be around me when I'm feeling miserable. Please be as patient with me as I am with you.

When I say, "I'm doing okay", I wish you could understand that I don't "feel" okay and that I struggle daily.

I wish you knew that all of the grief reactions I'm having are very normal. Depression, anger, hopelessness and overwhelming sadness are all to be expected. So please excuse me when I'm quiet and withdrawn or irritable and cranky.

Your advice to "take it one day at a time" is excellent advice. However, a day is too much and too fast for me right now. I wish you could understand that I'm doing good to handle an hour at a time.

Please excuse me if I seem rude, certainly not my intent. Sometimes the world around me goes too fast and I need to get off. When I walk away, I wish you would let me find a quiet place to spend time alone. I wish you understood that grief changes people. When my child died, a big part of me died with her. I am not the same person I was before my child died and I will never be that person again. 

And above all I wish you understood when I say I need my family that I am needing their love and their strength to help me through some of my roughest days and nights.

I wish very much that you could understand ~ understand my loss and
my grief.
But....
I pray daily that you will never understand.
