I can barely cope...

    I can barely cope...

    Hi,
    I had a stillborn daughter two years ago.
    We even had a name picked for her: Rebekah Alice Hope.
    She is still in my heart everyday, I even wake up thinking about her and whether I did anything wrong.
    The most difficult thing is when I had to explain it to my other children who were 3 and 1 at the time. They just didn't seem to know why mommy was always crying.
    When, they're older, I'm going to explain the story of their beautiful little sister, but for now, I just can't believe it happened.
    I prayed to God I would be okay, and am now expecting another little girl in March and can't help but worry that the same will happen again.
    I still miss Rebekah, but the thought of her will always be in my heart.

    Elly
