Eden's Story

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found out I was pregnant with my third baby on my 25th birthday, what a lovely birthday present! We already had a boy of 9 and a girl of 4 and were eagerly anticipating our new arrival after several miscarriages. The pregnancy in itself was problematic due to my existing kidney problems.

I was admitted at 32 weeks with excruciating pain, I was scanned and checked and we found that we were expecting another beautiful girl, all was well and I was sent home again. At 33 weeks my membranes ruptured, however, I didn't realise this until two days later ( both my previous pregnancies had to be induced at 42 weeks, with manual membrane ruptures) I called our midwife who confirmed I was leaking liquor and had me admitted to the local maternity unit.

Once I got there, I was put on Augmentin and was told that as the unit had just opened there were no provisions made for a 33 week baby in their SCBU unit as it was severly understaffed so I was sent to a maternity hospital 60 miles away. Once there, my husband was sent upstairs to the fathers accomodation, I wasn't given anymore Augmentin. Later on the day I was walking in the ward, feeling very sore and uncomfortable, my husband wasn't allowed to stay with me. The staff nurse gave me medication to help me sleep.

I woke up at 5.45am in a lot of pain, the baby was moving vigorously, I buzzed for the nurse, she tried to hear the baby's heartbeat then I felt a huge rush of liquid, I assumed it was the waters breaking but instead I was haemmoraging profusely. They alerted my husband and I was rushed downstairs in the bed, the next part is all a bit hazy but there was a lot of needles inserted for blood transfusions etc... The Doctor scanned and scanned for what seems like an eternity, then he said " I'm very sorry but your baby has passed away"

Eden Victoria Ebony Rumer Shepherd was born on 25th January 1997 at 0836 and was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen, she was very like her Dad.

It has been 10 years now since Eden died, I don't know how we got through, we were blessed two years later when we had a baby boy, premature but healthy.

REMEMBERANCE

Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
While the world's tide is bearing me along;
Other desires and other hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong!



No later light has lightened up my heaven,
No second morn has ever shone for me;
All my life's bliss from thy dear life was given,
All my life's bliss is in the grave with thee.



But, when the days of golden dreams had perished,
And even Despair was powerless to destroy;
Then did I learn how existence could be cherished,
Strengthened, and fed without the aid of joy.



Then did I check the tears of useless passion--
Weaned my young soul from yearning after thine;
Sternly denied its burning wish to hasten
Down to that tomb already more than mine.



And, even yet, I dare not let it languish,
Dare not indulge in memory's rapturous pain;
Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,
How could I seek the empty world again?




Heaven's Baby Castle
In a baby's castle just beyond my eye
My baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy

Who am I to wish her back into this world of strife?
No, play on my baby, you have eternal life

When all around is silent and sleep forsakes my eyes
I'll hear her tiny footsteps come running at my side

Her little hand caresses me so tenderly and sweet
I'll breathe a little prayer and close my eyes and embrace hers in my sleep

Now I have a treasure I rate above all other
I have known true glory - I am still her mother

In a baby castle, just beyond your eye,
Your baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who are you to wish him back into this world of strife,
No, play on your baby, they'll have eternal life.
At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes your eyes,
You'll hear their tiny footsteps come running to your side
Their little hands caress you so tenderly and sweet,
You'll breathe a prayer and close your eyes and embrace them in your sleep.
Now you have a treasure that you rate above all others
You have known true glory,
You are still their mother.

Someone's watching over me
I feel it in the air
That someone can't be seen or heard
But I know that they are there
It's someone very special, all around me and above
I know that they'll take care of me
They're watching me with love!!! xxxx

Snowflakes from Heaven as white as can be!
Can build a Snowman for
all to see!
He's cute and cuddly and full of good wishes!
And wants to give you a bunch of his kisses!

________0___We're wondering what Christmas in Heaven _______000__is like
_______000__As we grieve alone and pray,
_______000__longing for one who has gone before
_______000__To spend Christmas in Heaven today..
________I___
_______000__And so in our dreams we wander far
_______000__From the scenes and sounds of earth
_______000__‘Til we catch the strains of the Heavenly _______000__choir
_______000__As they sing of the Christ Child's _______000__birth. .
_______000__
_______000__The Angels we envision there
_______000__As they join in the festive play
_______000__And there amid the throng is our Loved One
_______000__Spending Christmas in Heaven today..
_______000__
_______000__There's joy in the faith that teaches
_______000__When our life's work is done
_______000__Of a place in Heaven awaiting
_______000__And the crown we worked for is won..
_______000__
_______000__In our grief may we learn well the lesson
_______000__So to work and suffer and pray
_______000__As to merit the joys of our loved one
_______000__And to spend Christmas together some day.
MERRY CHRISTMAS angel in heaven

Memories of you...
Will stay in my heart forever,
Memories of you...
I will always treasure.
Memories of you...

They seem to grow still brighter
with every passing year.
