I also lost a child at 37 weeks. We always acknowledge his birthday and something a friend did for us was send a birthday card on his birthday, as if it was just a normal birthday card. No sympathy card, and they signed on the inside that they were thinking about him on his birthday and they loved us. Something like that meant the world to us and showed us as time has moved on people are still remembering our son.

MY wife and I lost our son Oscar at 37 weeks back in June of 2016. It also feel exactly like you, it's not something you ever "get over". But you learn to manage with it. And just like you, we continue to think of him and remind people of our first son.

Just want to say thanks for doing this. I lost my son at 37 weeks due to a "true knot" in the cord back in 2016. I can remember so vividly the moment the doctor turned to us and just shook her head no when they couldn't find his pulse on the ultrasound. It was a long road of mourning, where we felt like we were living in a different world than everyone else after they had moved on with their lives and we were still stuck with this reality. My question for you is, have you known anyone in your life that has gone through something similar? My wife and I know 2 couples that have gone through the same thing and we have dinner with them and talk to them about what it's like to deal with the situation. It's extremely hard for me because we're now the "grizzled vets" that have gone through this and letting these couples know that there is somewhat of a light at the end of the tunnel is helpful. But it is so emotionally draining and i have ended up just losing it before and after these conversations because it is like being transported right back to the moment we lost our son. Sorry if this is long winded. Thanks again
