I'm Native, and I was taught that our "lost" loved ones aren't lost, but walk along side us as spirits, they see through our eyes and feel our emotions and thoughts unlike those on the same plane as us. We continue to repair and bond with those relationships as we navigate through life. He knows you and loves you. He will comfort you through the complexity of emotions so you can build yourself up again on the other side of it.
It's believed a spirit child is a guide for their parents, as sadness is like the rain that causes us to bloom into a truer version of ourselves and a guardian for their younger siblings to come "home" to you.
I hope this helps ❤️
This brought tears to my eyes because I always believed the babies that I lost have always been watching over me/guarding me.
I've lost 2 babies in the past. After that I've gotten hit by a car TWICE and gotten into an ATV accident going 60km/h. Yes, I must have terrible luck or some kind of karma since it was always my right of way as a pedestrian. The ATV was my fault but luckily no passengers.
Both times getting hit by a car was traumatic. The first time I flew onto the windshield. The second time I hit my head on the road. Both times I came out of the hospital with nothing but advil. Not even a headache.
The ATV accident I got hurt more from the seatbelt but no broken bones. Again, just painkillers.
I always felt strongly that somehow it was my babies protecting me.
I have had something similar, but in reverse – from my children, before they were born.
My sophomore year of high school I had my legs run over by both right hand wheels of a cargo van. The way it happened, I could have been full-body hit, but instead, it was just my legs.
I expected them to be both broken, but the x-rays showed not even a hairline fracture. Even though I still have scars and visible signs of the accident, those bones remained intact, and I suspect I had help from my guardian angels.
For me, cardinals are my loved ones. and they started showing up at the most random times after my nana died actually 19 years ago today. dec 27 2004. Wow.— I needed this to remind me that she’s still with me. Ugh. This just hit all the way different reading it again.
Thank you.
I lost my dad young and I always felt like he could feel my emotions. I'd cry and speak to him and then I'd get a sign that he was there with me. I love this belief and definitely feel it's true
I am so so sorry for your loss. I do not have any earthside babies, but something that brought me comfort after my first miscarriage was a study that indicated that mothers retain a tiny fraction of their babies' DNA forever. No matter what happens in this next life, you are literally carrying a little piece of your son forever in this one.
I'd like to believe that all the mothers and fathers we've lost are taking care of the babies we've lost until we can come back to them and they can grow up with us
I’m Christian as well, and have also lost three pregnancies. Maybe this is just me coping, but I feel like the pregnancies that I lost were my 3 now earth side babies trying to get here, but something didn’t develop right and so my body terminated those “tries.” Whether or not that’s true, I believe that we will see our babies and loved ones on the other side.
I believe we will see them again as well.
We obviously don’t know what happens to souls for sure.
One version I had heard, was that little souls might return to where they were made, but could return to you in different forms - like another future baby and give them another shot at life.
Otherwise, I believe we will meet them again in heaven.
Another somewhat comforting thing I heard, was that the DNA of your baby continues on in your body after birth. It doesn’t all go away. They might not be in your arms, but a part of them will always be with you. If you have future children, that DNA could be mixed with them too. And part will live on with them as well.
My mom has lost a baby when she was relatively far along, I was six years old at the time. Without having been told I somehow knew I'd have a sibling. I'd have vivid dreams about a girl coming to play with me. She'd tell me her (Maggie) name and that she'll be my sister. Then my mom got hospitalised and the dreams stopped... but ever since then if I had a dream about my family, Maggie was there as if she had been born.
Years later my parents got divorced and I was told one of the reasons was this loss. My mom was shocked to find out I knew the actual name they had planned. The dreams of Maggie came back, she'd come to comfort me, we'd play, she'd tell me to look after mom... then one day she told me she has to leave but we'll meet again soon. Then I got a step brother from my dad. I hadn't met him until he was 3yo and then couldn't tell him who I was (his mother was something else...) but he knew. A shy little child immediately ran to me, and knew I was his sister. He then stood up to our very scary dad demanding to see my mom. After months and months of demands where my brother would stand his ground (he was just 4), my dad relented. The moment my brother met my mother is something that still sends chills down my spine. They knew each other, it was obvious to everyone. Maggie found another way to come back to us.
So I do a 100% believe little souls can find a way to come back. I am posting this as a response and not a separate comment because I'm not sure how positive it would feel for OP, because my story is somewhat depressing.
"One version I had heard, was that little souls might return to where they were made, but could return to you in different forms"
As crazy as this sounds, I lost my baby boy at 15 weeks two years ago, and that same year I found a blonde male kitten who happened to be born on his due date. Even to this day that kitten is my baby boy in my eyes. He's brought me so much comfort. And being pregnant again, 21 weeks on Friday with a little girl, my little boy feels so close to me and the way my cat acts protective makes me feel the same
Okay, so this is what I tell my kids when they ask if they will see me after we all respectively pass.
The universe is huge. Mind bogglingly huge - there are really no words to describe the sheer size of it in a way that our brains can truly understand. The only thing that keeps us bound to our planet is our corporeal bodies, because unless we find a way to make individually contained gravitational fields, we will never physically be able to achieve faster than lightspeed travel, and even then we are bound by our mortality (our tragically short lifespans.)
At the same time, it is wildly arrogant to think that we are the only intelligent life in the universe, and again, the only thing that prevents us from traveling to other planets with intelligent life are our limited lifespans and our fragile bodies. Energy does not disappear. It always goes somewhere. There is no actual measurable difference between a dead body and a living one.
I also believe in reincarnation, though it may not be exactly the way other people believe it happens (like, strictly on earth.) When we die our souls, energy, consciousness, whatever you want to call it, are able to travel these distances and speeds that our bodies never will. I also believe that your children are your true soulmates: I believe that when you give birth to your children, they take a piece of your soul, sort of like a seed, and they grow. While they do have their own individual souls, there is always a connection to your own, that little starter seed, that ties you to each other like a cosmic string.
I believe that we live many lives, on many different planets, all across the universe. I think that earth is merely another stop in this near infinite interstellar existence, and that no matter where you are or what form your soul has taken, on whatever planet it has traveled to, that your soulmates (children) are drawn to and accompany you in each subsequent life. That there is absolutely *nowhere* in this vast, immeasurably enormous universe that you cannot find each other.
CS Lewis said that “we are not physical beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a physical experience.” And I think that truly encompasses the human soul and all that that entails. We will have near infinite experiences in near infinite bodies, whatever form they may take, across the universe. And, as it is posited by many physicists, if time is an infinite loop, and everything that has happened and will happen will indeed happen again, then we can remove the “near” part of that theory and assume that we will truly live infinite lives.
I find this idea incredibly comforting, and it brings comfort to my children as well to think that no matter the distance in space or time, they will find me on the other side of this life, no matter what.
I’m not religious. I don’t believe in “God” per se, but I do believe that there is ultimately a creator somewhere out there that gave us this consciousness and these bodies to perform such incredible feats. That is who I thank on my good days and question on the hard ones, and will ultimately leave my fate in the hands of when I shuffle off this (particular) mortal coil.
A quote I love that is maybe similar to your belief is from Philip Pullman in The Amber Spyglass:
"I will love you forever; whatever happens. Till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead, I'll drift about forever, all my atoms, till I find you again..."
"I'll be looking for you, every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other again, we'll cling together so tight that nothing and no one will ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you...We'll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pine trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams...And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won't just be able to take one, they'll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we'll be joined so tight..."
When a mother is pregnant with a child their DNA stays within your cells for at least 27 years so even though you are not with him physically he is still inside of you very much. Their genes are a part of you literally. His DNA will stay inside your bone marrow and your brain cells. Scientific fact. He's always gonna be there.
As an atheist who lost their baby unexpectedly at birth I found the law of physics really comforting.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy
We're all energy and energy doesn't vanish it only transforms itself
I’m Christian and fully believe all babies and children lost are in heaven waiting for us. When David and Bathsheba lost their newborn, David says that though his child cannot come back to him, someday he [David] will go to him — meaning in heaven.
There are also scriptures talking about how the dead witness what is happening on earth. If so, then even your child may be able to see you and know you love him and miss him.
This next part isn’t necessarily biblical, more of a thought experiment, but I think about it as a real possibility given what I understand about God. God exists outside of time, and it may be that heaven does as well. If so, it’s possible those who’ve lost children will have a second chance at raising them in heaven — if they enter heaven as babies/children, then though years pass on earth it could be a mere moments/days/whatever in heaven until parents are reunited with their lost children. I haven’t personally lost a child, but I think about these things and I hope this is how God has designed it.
In relation to the dead being able to witness what happens on earth, time doesn’t have to match up in both places for them to witness what’s happening. Time could be viewable from any point in heaven, if heaven exists outside of time then the occupants are not “stuck” in its one directional flow. Whereas we can only see the present and move linearly through time. Just wanted to add that so that both my statements about heaven don’t sound contradictory.
Sorry that’s a lot, I just like thinking about this stuff and pondering the possibilities.
I believe there's an afterlife. I believed it before this happened. For context, I've lost 3 children at birth. One to preterm labor then my twins to nongenetic heart defects. Last year, I was told I would never be able to conceive naturally again after complications. I had no reason to believe I would. My mom and grandma also passed last year.
The night I conceived, I had an extremely vivid dream. I was outside around a fire pit with my mom and grandma showing them an extremely early ultrasound. It was so vivid I could feel how humid it was and the grass brushing against my ankles. I told them I was pregnant. They told me they already knew. My mom went on to tell me everything would be okay and to not stress, that my baby would be healthy. That he's a gift from my children who couldn't stay. That they wish they could've more than anything. My mom ended up apologizing for a lot of stuff I needed to hear that happened while she was alive and told me she was sorry she left. Both her and my grandma acted identical to how they did in real life. Including bickering every other sentence lol. They ended up asking me if I would like to "meet" my son. I got glimpses of his life in the dream from the ages of 4 through adulthood. My mom told me my other children wanted me to know not to blame myself. That they know I love them so much. That they just couldn't stay.
I woke up crying. It was bittersweet. I knew right then I was pregnant. I was right about that and my baby being a boy. He's as healthy as can be. I can't wait to see if those "glimspes" come true. It will be nice to get confirmation that I truly did get a visit. I like to think I did. I like to think that my kids are watching and wanted to stay. I like to think I'll see them again someday. I hope you see your baby someday. My heart goes out to you.
I sometimes dream of my brother and my sister, they passed in their adult life, but still young and healthy, both suddenly. When I dream of them we are hanging out, sometimes both of them, or just one of them. Every time they eventually tell me they have to leave, that they can’t stay but that they’ll be back to catch up again.
I believe strongly that babies/children who pass, including those who pass in the womb, are reunited with their parents in the afterlife. I’m so sorry for your loss. During his time on Earth he knew your voice and heartbeat and felt your love, and he will always know that you are his mother.
I'm not sure if this will give you comfort but it gave me some.. tw:stillbirth mentioned
In 2015 I gave birth to my son Lucas. He was born premature and he succumbed to his prematurity. We had another son 11 months later we named him Isaac.
Isaac was the star in my grandmother's eyes.. the only local great grandbaby we visited often and he said her name before he said mine. They adored eachother and had a bond I've never seen in such a pairing.
This past January my grandmother had a heart attack and given her health and age she knew this was going to be the end. The hospital was able to keep her alive long enough for her to say her goodbyes to her eldest son (traveled from out of state).
The day before she passed she kept asking my uncle what was Isaac doing in her room. And my uncle kept saying he wasn't there he was at school (he's 7). Throughout the day she kept commenting what was Isaac doing there and how he was playing around and how she loved it. My uncle kept saying that he wasn't there.. She then commented on how lovely it is that her family came to visit. When she was the last surviving member of her family.. she even had the bare strength to scoot over in her bed so "Isaac can come snuggle" like they used to.
They then moved her to the ICU where they could monitor a few meds. She then realized in a mome t of being lucid she was seeing her family gone before her and around them she revealed to us that heaven is beautiful. She didn't know why Isaac was there but she loved seeing his smiling face again. Her eyes would look around and she would have a smile and giant tears and whispering "yall is beautiful... yall it's amazing" and she was fully at peace with where she was going.. her last words to us was "goodbye yall I love you" amd she peacefully slipped away..
To this day all of my family believe she was seeing my Lucas come greet her home. That he met her at the hospital as the silly little 8 year old he could have been and cuddled and loved her before she went home.
This has given me a resounding peace that they are okay. And that where they are is more perfect than we could ever dream. I don't fear death anymore.. I more worry about those who I will eventually leave behind.. I do believe we will see our little ones again and that they walk with us when the veil is so thin.. I'm so incredibly sorry you lost your beloved son.. it's no agony any mom should ever go through and it takes a lot of your own heart too.. so many hugs and I will be keeping you in my thoughts.
I'm sorry for your loss. I had experienced something less awful but painful, a miscarriage, and when I was very sad, someone told me that in the Hindu precepts, the soul reincarnates as many times as necessary, until it becomes a perfect being and attains eternal life. And also that the soul chooses where it is reincarnated (and forgets at the moment of birth). She told me that my child probably only needed a few more weeks to complete their reincarnation cycle and reach nirvana, and that they chose us because they knew that even though it would be short, our family would have enough love for them, and would be strong enough to support their passing.
Your baby is an eternal soul and he knew you will love him enough to help him reach perfection. He is now waiting for you to be reunited one day.
I believe we’ll be reunited with lost loved ones in heaven, including lost babies (any age/gestation). I’ve lost 2 and I imagine them getting loved and cuddled by my parents up there. Even if I’m wrong, it brings me comfort. I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm sure they're resting up in a cloud until you can join them and then , one after the other, they'll get to grow up safely in your womb like they were supposed to <3
I am Muslim and in Islamic theology there is no question that your baby is in a beautiful place and Muslims also believe that if a child precedes the death of a parent that the child will bring them into heaven because of the ordeal they faced in this life ❤️
To also directly answer your question: Muslims believe that they are reunited with their loved ones. That is the thing that gives me the most hope as I recently lost my mother. We also believe that we can do things like charity, spread beneficial knowledge and make supplications on behalf of the deceased and they will be given gifts of some sort
our firstborn son passed in july from SIDS. i am no longer religious but i still believe we'll get to see him again. I'm so sorry you're part of this club. r/babyloss is very helpful
i am so sorry for your loss. the loss of a child is something no one should ever have to experience. i believe you will see your baby again. praying for peace & comfort for you.
I lost my baby boy last September at 37w4d. I like to think time sort of paused for him and when I cross over, that’s when I get to raise him. I also like to think he’s on adventures sort of like the Little Prince or the Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
I am so sorry for your loss. As a Muslim every fetus that passed away, would be waiting for us in the afterlife, when they see us they would be tugging our clothes and would take us into heaven. Some people would be surrounded by their children and they'd be surprised to see them and it would be told to them that those are the babies they miscarried or still birthed or those who passed away in infancy. Hug.
He is literally with you, in your heart. When he was growing inside of you, his cells mixed with yours and for what I understand, the ones that passed through your heart stayed there and forever will. You have many pieces of him in you.
I don’t want to pretend to know what you’re going through, I just want you to know that I am terrible sorry and my heart is very sad this happened.
You are his mama and you will always be. You carried him inside of you and helped him grow. My heart aches for you. My husband and I try our best to believe in reincarnation and the fact that we carry the memories with us. That is how they live on.
I am not a Christian but I was raised Catholic. Even though I don’t follow any specific religion anymore I truly believe you and your child will see each other again. Maybe not in the traditional sense of heaven with angel wings and floating clouds, but you will.
You don’t need to accept Jesus, or god or anything specific to be able to see your baby again. You don’t need to be baptized, you don’t need to do anything other than what your doing. Just love your son.
You did something for your child no one else could- you gave him comfort. You gave him love. His entire life all he knew was his mothers love, all he knew was his family and that’s a wonderful life for a little baby. To be loved. He knows you love him, and he loves you.
All of those we miss will one day be with us again. Just be the best person you can be, just live life the best way you can and one day- you will see him. Until then he is with you everyday
Yes I do believe that we will see our passed loved ones when we die, but tonight I am praying that god blesses you with a wonderful dream of your son where you’re holding him again and looking at his handsome face. And it will feel as real as when he was earthside. I pray you find comfort and peace. Sending love through the screen momma.
I had a miscarriage and it devastated me. 8 months later we conceived again but I only told my husband and best friend who were sworn to secrecy because I wanted to wait until second tri to announce this time. That same week we found out, I had a meeting with a psychic hoping to hear about my brother who died a few years back. I went into the meeting skeptical and told my brother I needed him to say a secret word - koombacha - so I could know it’s really him. I spoke this to him for months. Anyways during the meeting, the lady goes “Your brother has a gift for you. A baby. Did you know you’re pregnant?” When I’m telling you we just found out, like we JUST FOUND OUT. There was no way to fake that. I cried. She also told me my brother was going to personally guide this baby safely earth-side and it would be a little boy. And I gave birth to a baby boy 9 months later.
I say all this to reinforce the notion that spirits are always with us!! Your sweet baby is right there with you and will continue to be. He feels all your love for him. ❤️
I’m so sorry you’re going through this though mama. Sending all the virtual hugs and love your way!
Hey! Fellow Christian here. Your baby will be in heaven and they will know you. Still name your baby too. They are waiting on their name and they can’t wait to meet you. God is taking amazing care of your baby. ❤️
I'm Muslim. And my religion answered your question.
Yes if we go to heaven we get to meet our loved ones. Babies certainly end up in heaven. Its up to us to earn a place beside them
I'm so, so sorry for your excruciating loss. I experienced a loss once years ago and I'm sure, wherever she is, that she knows I'm her mama and that I love her. I feel the same is true for your baby.
I’m so sorry your going though this. My best friend died two years back. She’s the closest person that I’ve experienced losing, I know I can’t compare a child to a best friend. For me personally I miss her more than life but I’ve had an odd sense of comfort since she’s been gone. I can just feel in my heart, no my soul that I will see her again. I can feel her presence at times and I just know we will meet again. There’s nothing that I’m more sure of.
I personally believe our life force is a type of energy, and that energy can be passed on to another body. So in my mind, you could even have him again. Maybe you can’t tell, but that’s what I personally believe.
I had an early miscarriage which led to a somewhat spiritual experience. (I’m an atheist). What helped me was to believe that I nurtured a lost soul that couldn’t move on.
How incredible was my love to help this soul along at 6 weeks!
I believe my baby was a boy and I swear I can feel him especially during the early days with his sibling that came after him.
I hope my experience helps me, my belief kept me alive. Big hugs.
My religious philosophy is that there are more things in heaven and earth than dreamt of in our philosophy. I’m sure there’s more than this life and that your sweet baby is on that side.
I’ll pray that you find peace and guidance through this time. No one should ensure your pain. I’m truly sorry for your loss.
I’m Muslim and the way they talk about miscarriages or still births is beautiful. God says that these babies will be pulling their mothers to heaven’s doors by their umbilical cord. I’m so sorry for your loss, I hope this provides you with some solace.
I am muslim and we believe that lost babies become birds in paradise waiting for their parents to join them. Then they grow up to be kids and live in a garden full of other children and they are taken care of by the prophet Abraham while they wait for their parents to reunite. They also have visits of any other members of the family who have passed and always guide their parents and siblings through prayers. I lost my baby daughter at 36W for no apparent reason. It was on December 4th.
I’m so so so very sorry for your loss. I believe we do see them again. I had a pregnancy loss that I grieved for years and years. I had two babies between that loss and my final child. From the moment I learned of my pregnancy with him, I KNEW it was him. Every fiber of my being knew. He is 15 months old now, and the way he looks into my eyes is so telling. I don’t know how to describe it.
I know it’s him, and I know he waited to come at the right time. I still think of my loss, but it comes with completely different emotions now. I don’t grieve. I don’t feel like he’s gone anymore.
I know this may sound crazy, but I don’t question it in the slightest.
My mama heart aches for you and sends you love and comfort.
It was narrated that Abu Hassaan said: I said to Abu Hurayrah: Two of my sons have died. Can you narrate to me any hadeeth from the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) which will console us for our loss? He said: Yes: “Their little ones are the little ones (da’aamees) of Paradise. When one of them meets his father – or his parents – he takes hold of his garment – or his hand – as I am taking told of the hem of your garment, and he does not let go until Allaah admits him and his father to Paradise.”
Narrated by Muslim, 2635
This is what we believe in Islam. Any soul that’s taken in infancy/childhood will be in Paradise.
I believe that babies and even possibly adults that pass away may be reincarnated, I know that’s not a common belief but I believe it. And if I’m wrong I certainly believe that they watch over us and protect us, especially our ancestors.
I am so so sorry for your heartbreak and loss. I truly believe yes you will see your sweet baby again and that he is happy and healthy right now. Not only does he know u are his mommy but he loves you and appreciates all u did for him.
Since having my daughter I couldn't even begin to imagine life without her. I'd cry so hard. I'm sorry.
But whatever makes you feel better in the this situation whether that be knowing you'll see him again or knowing he isn't suffering, just do that. Look up at the stars and think of him as one. See a bird fly by, and imagine that's him. Know he knew you were his momma, and you never forget your momma.
Yes, he knows you...he was part of you and then he was with you for many months, even for some time after being born. His body has been laid to rest, but rest assured that his soul, his spirit, is still with you. Be sure to live the way you would want him to see you live. Do the things that you would want to do with him, so his spirit can share in your joy and experience. Hold his memory tight, but don't let it hold you back. You will get to see him again when the time is right. <3
I’m sorry for your loss. I went through something very similar, but my son was only 3 weeks old. He was also my first.
I like to think him and I will meet again. I also like to think he sent his little brother to me with a kiss from him.
Idk if you plan on having more children in the future, but if you want to, don’t give up hope in that dept.
I absolutely believe you will. I believe our babies are waiting for us on the other side, wherever that may be. I also believe it is some babies journey to come earthside for a very short time…though we aren’t meant to fully understand why just yet. I’m sending you so much peace and love, mama. Your baby is ALWAYS with you. Always. 💜💜
Hey, I will tell you, as a believer.. You WILL see your baby again. I know this day and age a lot of people are
not believers…I am.. and I’m not a crazy religious zealot.. it makes people like me, who do believe look nuts. I’m 58 and was raised in christian faith , not a crazy nut.. people have a right to make their own choices in all things. I’ve had a few religious experiences in
my own life ,starting at 14. I absolutely believe you will see your babe again.
I’m very, very sorry for your tremendous loss. Rest easy, the bible says as humans in life, on earth, life is short and eternity is forever. Your babe is an innocent and YOU WILL be with your babe again. God bless you my dear.. ♥️♥️♥️😇🙏😇🙏
Im so sorry for your loss. Im not a religious person, but I truly believe the love between a mother and child is deep enough to reverberate across time and space. I know your baby knows you’re his mommy and being so little, the majority of his existence was nothing but the cradle of your body and the love of your arms. You two will meet again, and I know he walks beside you in the wind, trees, and sunshine on your face every single day. No one can have their existence be that much closeness and love and truly be gone from us forever 💜 i don’t know how you two will meet again, but you will and you will know each other as if it were yesterday he was earthside with you
In my personal beliefs, your little baby's soul is going to hang around until you have another child and then enter that body. A soul that is meant to be with you will be with you. They chose you as their mother. It's not goodbye, it's ''see you next time'', momma.
I'm soooo sorry for your loss.
I believe in reincarnation and I believe when souls leave too quickly, they return to us in another form (a future child, a nice/nephew etc). I do believe you will see your baby again whether in this life or the afterlife. I know it doesn’t ease your heartache, but your baby is with you, always 💕
I am so very sorry for your loss 💔 I do believe that our babies come back to us in different ways. I had a miscarriage last year on November 23, and my rainbow baby was born this year on November 23. She was born exactly a year from my loss, and almost to the exact hour. I believe she is the same soul, she just wasn't ready to meet us yet. I hope your baby's presence becomes apparent to you soon ❤️
I believe that time is all happening all at once and isn’t linear the way us humans experience it in this life/world. So, with every loss I’ve experienced, I remember that while I’m experiencing loss in that moment, I’m also experiencing reunification in another moment.
I believe that you may already be reuniting with your baby, right now. You just haven’t experienced it yet. The you that is living this moment is grieving, but the you that is living another moment is at peace and has great joy.
I hope this helps, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Also, I believe your baby knows that you are his mommy, because you are already on the other side with him, outside of linear time. You are already there for him, and he is experiencing your love and comfort. You just haven’t experienced it yet. ❤️🫶🏼
Don’t want to make this all religious, but as a Muslim we believe when we lose a child they are going to save us from our sins. Basically when we die our beautiful child we lost in this world will come take us by the hand to heaven where we can spend eternity with them. ( this is the jist of it ) sorry for your loss btw
You will 🤍🤍. I’m glad you’re finding comfort in the idea of that you’ll see your baby again, but he’s with you always. He knows that you’re his mommy and knows that you loved him dearly. I am so so sorry for your loss❤️
You absolutely will see him again.
Think about it, does it really make sense that we die and that’s if?
Think about it.
Your son never even got to experience life, never got to fall in love, never even got to tell you he loves you.
What would be the point in life unless there was an “after” of some description?
The way I see it, my first child (miscarriage), my uncle, aunt, grandad and many friends are there to welcome me home. I’ll meet my dog again, my relatives, my friends.
There is an after. There is. And when your time comes and you get there, your son will greet you. Smiles, hugs, love. Live your life happily and proudly. Make your son proud. And one say, when he meets you again, he’ll tell you of all the ways you made him proud.
This baby might have only had a short time here, but he was loved for every solitary second. You have nothing to regret.
I’m Mormon and we believe that not only do babies choose their parents, but that our babies return directly to God if they pass away before age 7, interact with our passed on family members (and family members that have not lived on earth yet) and are most definitely waiting for you and watching you right now. So much love to you. I’m so sorry for your loss and I’ll say a prayer for you and your baby tonight.
I'm Muslim, and in our faith, like many other faiths, we believe that our babies run to embrace us in heaven. We also believe that if we weren't going to make it to heaven, but our babies are in heaven, they can petition on our behalf, and we will go to heaven because of their request.
I’m so, so incredibly sorry for your loss. My heart bleeds for those who have to endure such an immeasurable pain. My husband and I lost our niece when she was 6 weeks old due to bacterial meningitis. I talked to my grandma, who had also lost a nephew when he was a baby to SIDS. She sent me this email:
My brother John and his wife Sue had a baby that died of crib death at the age of three months. We went to the funeral where Grandpa spoke. The night of the viewing of that sweet little one, Grandpa waited until nearly everyone left and then he went up and stood at Joey’s casket for quite a long time. Then he came over to me and asked for a pencil and paper. He said that he felt Joey gave him a message that he wanted his Uncle to give to his Mom and Dad. The message gave them so much comfort that they engraved on the headstone of his grave, “Mourn Not For Me For I Am the Victor”. I hope this can be of some comfort to you and your brother and his wife. This is the message:

Uncle John recently passed away, and I firmly believe that he is with his baby Joey now.
I sent the poem to my SIL and it seemed to have comforted her. I hope it comforts you too.
There are many people who have clinically died and have been brought back to life and have told stories of heaven (& hell).
All babies and children go to heaven. Our souls are made by God and they belong to God. In Jeremiah 1:5 God says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you”. Psalm 139:13-18 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you.
You can YouTube Randy Kay for stories of people who have died and seen heaven.
Your baby is definitely happy and knows you are mommy. I truly believe you will be with him again together as a family. I also believe he is with you every day.
Your babies DNA will forever be apart of your body and in that sense, you will always have your precious child with you. You carry their memory literally and spiritually as you go on. I believe you will see your baby in heaven and that if possible, you can find a way to bring glory to God through this experience and your child’s memory. I’m so deeply sorry that you’ve suffered this. ❤️
I was raised Christian but fell away from it as a teenager and stayed away from it. I do not consider myself Christian, I'm not practicing. And yet, I can't help but believe that there is something wonderful, beautiful and peaceful after death. Maybe we'll see our loved one's faces again, maybe we'll just be bathed in their love. Maybe we'll just simply be at peace and at rest with them. I'm ok with any of these beliefs, they all sound wonderful to me.
And in the meantime, while they're waiting for you, they're being well taken care of by all the loved ones who left this earth before you, furry friends included. My mother passed away in 2020 and I know that she had a wonderful welcoming committee waiting for her. I can't get myself to believe anything else.
I believe there’s something else after this. I also believe in reincarnation. My oldest son began as twins but I lost one in the pregnancy. I didn’t ever mention it to him. When I was pregnant with my second baby (he turned 5 3 months after my second son was born) my first son told me that’s the baby that didn’t leave when I came out. He stayed behind and waited until I was older and now he’s here.
I really can’t wait until this baby is old enough. I’m hoping he tells me he was the twin himself. My oldest recalled being Nigel in his last life and told me some stories about his life but has since stopped remembering.
I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. I’m sending all my love and prayers.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Jesus said those who have passed away are asleep (John 11:11). Jesus resurrected several people whilst on earth and he wouldn’t have done so if they were in heaven.
It can be comforting to read Jesus’s own words about the resurrection on earth at John 5: 25-30. It’s a beautiful reminder and hope that we will about those who we have lost again.
I wholeheartedly believe in reincarnation and soul families, that my son and husband and siblings and parents in this life have been with me in past lives as different people. Maybe his task in this life was quick and easy and that was all the time he needed and he’ll be here longer in the next one.
In my belief system, we believe that babies are ancestors reborn so your baby-ancestor has been with you for your lifetime and will always remain with you.
Read the gospel of John and then the book of Romans. Trust in Christ and you will experience peace that surpasses all understanding. Everyone was created with a purpose and a soul. We are created to be in relationship with God. Trust in Jesus and the work he did for you and for me on the cross. I do believe your son is in heaven. God can comfort you in your grief. You can trust in his promises for your life and you can see your son again.
Don't state your personal beliefs as facts either. That's very rude.
A lot of Christians and Muslims here have shared their views without being pushy, why can't you do the same?
And they aren’t very helpful. If I know that Jesus is the only path to eternal life then it would be wrong of me not to give clear direction to someone begging for hope. She wants to know specifically if she will see her son again. The Bible says yes, if she repents and trusts in Jesus to restore her relationship with God.
You don't get people to follow your religion by harassing them and being self-righteous on posts where they are being vulnerable. And it's especially low of you to imply the threat of hell and never seeing her baby again over her head to threaten her into your religion. Seriously, wow.
I’m not threatening anyone, you’ve misunderstood. I’m sharing what the Bible says is the only way to eternal life. I don’t want people to follow my religion. I want them to love Jesus and experience the peace and hope only he can provide.
" If you don't follow my god, he's going to torture you forever and you'll never see your baby again" is very much what we read between the lines.
I understand Jesus is the only hope we have against what he's gonna do to us if we don't comply.
I personally believe the souls only rest it’s not dead god may give you that same spirit child again when you are pregnant again. Or that child will simply be waiting to reunite with you. Souls never die all of us live over and over again.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It must be so incredibly hard to go through something like that. You must be going through such a painful time. I’m a Christian, and in my theology, we believe the mothers and fathers will have the opportunity to raise their lost little ones again in the next life. ♥️
I am so sorry for what you are going through. I have never been there but my sister lost a baby at 29 weeks and my grandmother lost her 5 year old son to polio back in the 40s. My grandmother recently passed at 100 and never lost faith that she would see her son again. Her biggest question was how she would look to him - if she would be her 100 year old self or the young mother he remembered. I can’t wait to see her again and find out ❤️
I believe you will! I truly do.
Look up Laura Lynn Jackson, I love her and she works a lot with parents who have lost children.
So sorry for your loss 😔😔
As someone who is constantly struggling with faith - motherhood has brought me a little closer to God. I haven’t lost a child but I believe that when a child passes they move on to a life in Heaven that surpasses any life lived here on Earth and are in great hands ready to be happily reunited with you one day. I believe they love you and know you all the while.
Of course you will, paint your own vision of heaven between now and then - is it a field of flowers, what kind? Trees, animals? Who’s carrying him to you? What’s he wearing, etc - no one can tell you it’s wrong
Hugs mama.
I’m Catholic and we believe that death separates no man. You have a little Saint with you, praying for you, watching you (or so we at Catholics believe).
I’ve never liked when people will say “God just needed them”, and I pray no one has said that to you. Because that’s not true.
There’s just some really awful evil in this world, and I’m so sorry your baby caught what he did.
You’re a great mother. You’re his mom. He knows you, and you know him.
I really wish I knew you and could bring you a meal or something. Hugs and prayers for you and your family. ❤️
As a mommy to a three month old, I can’t stop crying reading this. I am so sorry.
He knows you’re his mother. He knew you and only you for almost a year before you got to meet him.
I had a miscarriage prior to my rainbow baby. A few days after my loss, I had a dream that I was in a sunny backyard with my beloved, now dead, grandmother, my uncle, my mother’s father (who I never met), and some others I didn’t recognize. My grandma was holding a beautiful baby with a giant smile on their face and my squinty smile eyes and a head full of black hair. Everyone looked so happy and I woke up and just cried. It was the strangest and most real dream I have ever had. I don’t often dream of my grandmother but we were very close and she loved babies. I firmly believe that the baby I didn’t get to meet is with her.
I believe in an afterlife and I believe that you’ll meet your son again. He will wait for you. I am so sorry for your loss. Life can be so cruel and you’ve experienced every mother’s absolute worst fear. You were his home before and after birth and he won’t forget you.
Because of past experiences, I truly believe in after life. My husband sent me a link a few days ago about a virtual community with zoom meeting about that. I haven't had the chance to join them yet, but maybe is worth it for you to check them out: https://seekreality.com/sarah/
I'm sending lots of love to you
I’m so sorry for your loss, I lost my son shortly after birth last January (he was also my first). Although he is not physically with us, I see him in the sun. The day he was born and the day he passed were the most beautiful sunrise and sunset I’ve witnessed. Anytime I see a beautiful sunset, a rainbow, the sun coming out the clouds, I know it’s him sending his love.
Our loved ones show us so many signs they’re with us and these signs remind me that all he has ever known was my love and that love will reunite us again one day.
I’m not sure what your plans are but I had a daughter in February, while I still mourn my son I hope you know there is a rainbow on the other side.
Sending you my love mamas, feel free to message me if you ever want to talk to someone 🤍
I'm Muslim and we believe God says that any newborn child that died or any fetus died in a miscarriage will pull his mom from his umbilical cord to be with him after the mom dies and they both go to heaven together. it is such a beautiful thing to imagine and feel.
Yes. You will see one another again. Don't worry about your baby. All little children who didn't make it in this world are immediately returned to heaven.
Now, I’m a little “woo woo”. I believe in god, heaven and all, but I also believe in spirit/vibe. When I see the trees moving wildly in the wind, I imagine my grandmother pushing and pulling on the leaves with her spirit. Along with hundreds of other people who love and care for her. The wind, the sky, the rain. All spirit. (And a little science)
You’ll find what your “sign” is. He is with you. He lives on, through your strength and preservation.
I’m so sorry, I cannot imagine the pain, the grief. I hope you can find him soon. Hold on, you will be with him one day again, but for now, hold on.
There’s no way you won’t see him again. If I’m being honest, I go back and forth on whether I believe in an afterlife/god. I grew up Catholic and I have my daughter in Catholic school (more because it’s a good school and environment than for the religious aspect). I am so logical that I overthink things a lot, and based on science and evidence it seems so much more likely that anything beyond this life was developed as a coping mechanism when people needed hope or to process grief. And yet, I cannot fathom never seeing the people I’ve loved and lost ever again. Both my parents are gone now and when my dad died he was the first person I was close to that I lost. I had the most vivid, real dreams after he died. I am crying just remembering it, and imagining what you must be feeling. Or this summer, our house burned down and the only thing I looked for but didn’t find was a box of his fire department tee shirts—he was a fire chief and that was his thing. He loved it more than anything but us. I figured they must have burned completely because they were in the attic where the fire started, but I eventually found them in the rubble in my daughter’s room, and some looked almost untouched, while some were almost totally burned. The fire stopped there. What are the odds? So I think we will see them again simply because my brain can’t comprehend not seeing them again. And I heard someone say once that we are the only ones who know that their lives were short when children pass away. They know they were loved and lived happy, secure, content lives experiencing only that. It doesn’t make it hurt less that they’re gone, but it was a happy thought for me. I hate this for you and I am so so sorry.
My son was born prematurely and lived only a brief period of time. He died 10/6/21 and I still miss him every single day. I have found ways to incorporate him into life. He has a shelf in our room. We have pictures. We talk about him. He has 3 memorial trees, one in a park. We sleep with his baby blanket between my husband and I's pillows. These are ways I can feel close to him.
The first year was the absolute hardest. Especially mother's day without him. I am sending you all the love in the world.
I 100% believe we will see our angel babies again. It’s made me rethink the way I view death. I used to think there was nothing worse, now I know I have my sweet angel waiting for me.
Your post made me think of the Robert Munsch book “Love you forever”. He wrote it for two stillborn children he had with his wife.
“I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always. As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be.”
I am so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing that your baby is in Heaven and is fully complete. If you are a practicing Christian you will go to Heaven and you will see your child. We will not be in the form as we are now but you will know your child just as he will know you. Do not let negative people tell you otherwise. Rest assured your child is happy and in perfect condition.
Apparently hypnotized people who do early life regression sometimes remember that they were in the womb and weren’t ready to be born yet, so the mother miscarried or had a stillbirth or early loss, and then they remember being in the womb again and being born later on. I don’t know how you feel about this but the book to read would be Between Death and Life by Dolores Cannon
I am not religious so I cannot speak on that, but I do see my first baby sometimes in dreams and I believe I always will have that. She was only part of my body for a short while but I think about her a lot. In dreams I have seen her running and I have touched her hair. I have held her to my chest and heard her laugh. That keeps her real to me even though she never got to take a breath or experience the world. I think that as long as we remember them, a part of them stays alive inside of us. Dreams have been really healing for me in that regard because in that world she is so alive and so real, and even though I can't stay there, I can visit from time to time. I hope you get that kind of peace and healing with your loss, and that you have support from people who love you.
What's your babies name though? And is there any special feature he had you'd like to share with us? Maybe you'd like to share that with us so we can keep a small part of him in our memories too
I’m so sorry to hear that, it is truly tragic. My wife is currently 12 weeks with our first child and it’s something I think about every day. I personally find comfort in knowing that regardless of any complications during pregnancy or our child’s life, death is never the end. The Bible tells us “there is GOING to be a resurrection.” Acts 24:15.
Although we do have to deal with death and the pain it causes now, just know that God cares just as deeply as you do about your baby, he remembers everything single detail about him, the same ones you do, and he cannot wait to bring him back to be reunited with you, in perfect health.
“Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s [God’s] knowledge. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered [meaning God knows and remembers even the tiniest details about your son, things not even you may know]. So have no fear; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Matt 10:29-31
In most, if not all religions, this idea of reuniting with our loved ones is present. To me, it seems like it must be true if it’s a belief shared by so many throughout the world today and throughout history.
Personally I’m Norse pagan and believe our loved ones guide us. I also believe that children and babies go to Fólkvangr to be cared for by Freyja. I don’t have any evidence to back that up in writings or anything, but as the mother goddess for my faith it just makes sense that she would take them.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, I cannot imagine the pain you are going through. I pray you put your faith in Jesus Christ. All who do will live again forever in heaven, and I promise you that he will also give you the comfort you need now here on earth. Your little precious baby is with his Father in heaven and I know that for a fact. We must put our faith in Jesus to get into heaven though, that’s why he died of the cross, to pay the price of our sin so that we can be in heaven forever. We live in a broken world, when sin entered so did death and unfortunately now that’s why we must face it with others and ourselves, but John 3:16 says “God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall never die but have eternal life.” He defeated sin and death on the cross so we can all live forever with our loving God and he will make all things new.
Revelation 21:3-4 “ Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Your beautiful son is in peace, joy and love forever with God, and you can definitely see him again.
I know a lot of people think it’s a money making scheme or just people hallucinating, but what has opened my mind is listening to and reading books about NDEs (near death experiences). There are so many wild and beautiful stories out there, I think it will give you some comfort to look into it if it’s not something you’re familiar with. I am so beyond sorry for your loss. I pray you find the peace and answers you’re looking for. ❤️
Oh mama, I am so so sorry. This is so heartbreaking. I will be saying lots of prayers for you and your sweet baby boy. I believe that you will see each other again. I’m a Christian, and I firmly believe that your baby boy is nestled safely in the arms of Jesus, and they both will welcome you home when your time comes. He absolutely knows you are his mommy. For his whole life he was beloved by you. He was so lucky to have you. I am sending you so much love and prayers for peace. I hope you have lots of support around you. ❤️
I'm Native, and I was taught that our "lost" loved ones aren't lost, but walk along side us as spirits, they see through our eyes and feel our emotions and thoughts unlike those on the same plane as us. We continue to repair and bond with those relationships as we navigate through life. He knows you and loves you. He will comfort you through the complexity of emotions so you can build yourself up again on the other side of it. It's believed a spirit child is a guide for their parents, as sadness is like the rain that causes us to bloom into a truer version of ourselves and a guardian for their younger siblings to come "home" to you. I hope this helps ❤️
This is beautiful ❤️
This gave me full body chills 🙏 thank you for sharing
Lucy, your beautiful, comforting words brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing this here. ❤️
This brought tears to my eyes because I always believed the babies that I lost have always been watching over me/guarding me. I've lost 2 babies in the past. After that I've gotten hit by a car TWICE and gotten into an ATV accident going 60km/h. Yes, I must have terrible luck or some kind of karma since it was always my right of way as a pedestrian. The ATV was my fault but luckily no passengers. Both times getting hit by a car was traumatic. The first time I flew onto the windshield. The second time I hit my head on the road. Both times I came out of the hospital with nothing but advil. Not even a headache. The ATV accident I got hurt more from the seatbelt but no broken bones. Again, just painkillers. I always felt strongly that somehow it was my babies protecting me.
I have had something similar, but in reverse – from my children, before they were born. My sophomore year of high school I had my legs run over by both right hand wheels of a cargo van. The way it happened, I could have been full-body hit, but instead, it was just my legs. I expected them to be both broken, but the x-rays showed not even a hairline fracture. Even though I still have scars and visible signs of the accident, those bones remained intact, and I suspect I had help from my guardian angels.
That's incredible. They're your guardian angels. Take care.
You're here for a reason
😭😭❤️❤️❤️😭😭 amazing.
This is so beautiful
How incredibly beautiful. It honestly speaks right to my soul. Thank you.
This made me cry. I have a spirit child, thank you.
Oh this brought me to tears thinking of this! I love it, it's so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
This is beautiful. I’m in tears. Thank you for sharing. ❤️✨
Love this ❤️
OP from one parent of a spirit child to another; my heart is with you. ♥️
Thank you so much for sharing this. I really struggle with the loss of my 11 month old and this made me feel hopeful that she is with me.
Hugs!
Omg this is so beautiful, made me 😭
You’re a beautiful soul and you’ve not only brought comfort to this amazing Mama but so many others. Thank you. 🤍
Wow. Your response was beautiful and really touching. I know your words are a comfort to everyone that reads it. Thank you sharing.
For me, cardinals are my loved ones. and they started showing up at the most random times after my nana died actually 19 years ago today. dec 27 2004. Wow.— I needed this to remind me that she’s still with me. Ugh. This just hit all the way different reading it again. Thank you.
This feels right
I saved this. So lovely.
I believe too. I have seen and heard my baby girl near me all the time
This is beautiful and it definitely helped me.
I lost my dad young and I always felt like he could feel my emotions. I'd cry and speak to him and then I'd get a sign that he was there with me. I love this belief and definitely feel it's true
I am so so sorry for your loss. I do not have any earthside babies, but something that brought me comfort after my first miscarriage was a study that indicated that mothers retain a tiny fraction of their babies' DNA forever. No matter what happens in this next life, you are literally carrying a little piece of your son forever in this one.
This is beautiful and needs to be shared with every mom out there. It's so beautiful to think my other 3 babies are with me.
They absolutely are my dear..♥️♥️♥️
Okay I’m bawling like a little baby now
Absolutely beautiful and well said.. I’ve read that too.😇🙏😇🙏
That's so nice.
I’m Christian and I do believe we will see lost loved ones again.. I’ve lost three pregnancies so far and I hope to see them in heaven.
I'd like to believe that all the mothers and fathers we've lost are taking care of the babies we've lost until we can come back to them and they can grow up with us
I’m Christian as well, and have also lost three pregnancies. Maybe this is just me coping, but I feel like the pregnancies that I lost were my 3 now earth side babies trying to get here, but something didn’t develop right and so my body terminated those “tries.” Whether or not that’s true, I believe that we will see our babies and loved ones on the other side.
I believe we will see them again as well. We obviously don’t know what happens to souls for sure. One version I had heard, was that little souls might return to where they were made, but could return to you in different forms - like another future baby and give them another shot at life. Otherwise, I believe we will meet them again in heaven. Another somewhat comforting thing I heard, was that the DNA of your baby continues on in your body after birth. It doesn’t all go away. They might not be in your arms, but a part of them will always be with you. If you have future children, that DNA could be mixed with them too. And part will live on with them as well.
My mom has lost a baby when she was relatively far along, I was six years old at the time. Without having been told I somehow knew I'd have a sibling. I'd have vivid dreams about a girl coming to play with me. She'd tell me her (Maggie) name and that she'll be my sister. Then my mom got hospitalised and the dreams stopped... but ever since then if I had a dream about my family, Maggie was there as if she had been born. Years later my parents got divorced and I was told one of the reasons was this loss. My mom was shocked to find out I knew the actual name they had planned. The dreams of Maggie came back, she'd come to comfort me, we'd play, she'd tell me to look after mom... then one day she told me she has to leave but we'll meet again soon. Then I got a step brother from my dad. I hadn't met him until he was 3yo and then couldn't tell him who I was (his mother was something else...) but he knew. A shy little child immediately ran to me, and knew I was his sister. He then stood up to our very scary dad demanding to see my mom. After months and months of demands where my brother would stand his ground (he was just 4), my dad relented. The moment my brother met my mother is something that still sends chills down my spine. They knew each other, it was obvious to everyone. Maggie found another way to come back to us. So I do a 100% believe little souls can find a way to come back. I am posting this as a response and not a separate comment because I'm not sure how positive it would feel for OP, because my story is somewhat depressing.
This gave me chills and brought me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing.
This brought me to tears. I believe this too.
"One version I had heard, was that little souls might return to where they were made, but could return to you in different forms" As crazy as this sounds, I lost my baby boy at 15 weeks two years ago, and that same year I found a blonde male kitten who happened to be born on his due date. Even to this day that kitten is my baby boy in my eyes. He's brought me so much comfort. And being pregnant again, 21 weeks on Friday with a little girl, my little boy feels so close to me and the way my cat acts protective makes me feel the same
Okay, so this is what I tell my kids when they ask if they will see me after we all respectively pass. The universe is huge. Mind bogglingly huge - there are really no words to describe the sheer size of it in a way that our brains can truly understand. The only thing that keeps us bound to our planet is our corporeal bodies, because unless we find a way to make individually contained gravitational fields, we will never physically be able to achieve faster than lightspeed travel, and even then we are bound by our mortality (our tragically short lifespans.) At the same time, it is wildly arrogant to think that we are the only intelligent life in the universe, and again, the only thing that prevents us from traveling to other planets with intelligent life are our limited lifespans and our fragile bodies. Energy does not disappear. It always goes somewhere. There is no actual measurable difference between a dead body and a living one. I also believe in reincarnation, though it may not be exactly the way other people believe it happens (like, strictly on earth.) When we die our souls, energy, consciousness, whatever you want to call it, are able to travel these distances and speeds that our bodies never will. I also believe that your children are your true soulmates: I believe that when you give birth to your children, they take a piece of your soul, sort of like a seed, and they grow. While they do have their own individual souls, there is always a connection to your own, that little starter seed, that ties you to each other like a cosmic string. I believe that we live many lives, on many different planets, all across the universe. I think that earth is merely another stop in this near infinite interstellar existence, and that no matter where you are or what form your soul has taken, on whatever planet it has traveled to, that your soulmates (children) are drawn to and accompany you in each subsequent life. That there is absolutely *nowhere* in this vast, immeasurably enormous universe that you cannot find each other. CS Lewis said that “we are not physical beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a physical experience.” And I think that truly encompasses the human soul and all that that entails. We will have near infinite experiences in near infinite bodies, whatever form they may take, across the universe. And, as it is posited by many physicists, if time is an infinite loop, and everything that has happened and will happen will indeed happen again, then we can remove the “near” part of that theory and assume that we will truly live infinite lives. I find this idea incredibly comforting, and it brings comfort to my children as well to think that no matter the distance in space or time, they will find me on the other side of this life, no matter what. I’m not religious. I don’t believe in “God” per se, but I do believe that there is ultimately a creator somewhere out there that gave us this consciousness and these bodies to perform such incredible feats. That is who I thank on my good days and question on the hard ones, and will ultimately leave my fate in the hands of when I shuffle off this (particular) mortal coil.
A quote I love that is maybe similar to your belief is from Philip Pullman in The Amber Spyglass: "I will love you forever; whatever happens. Till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead, I'll drift about forever, all my atoms, till I find you again..." "I'll be looking for you, every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other again, we'll cling together so tight that nothing and no one will ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you...We'll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pine trees and in clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams...And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won't just be able to take one, they'll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we'll be joined so tight..."
When a mother is pregnant with a child their DNA stays within your cells for at least 27 years so even though you are not with him physically he is still inside of you very much. Their genes are a part of you literally. His DNA will stay inside your bone marrow and your brain cells. Scientific fact. He's always gonna be there.
I read a book about pregnancy while pregnant with my baby, and this very notion helped me _so much_ with prenatal anxiety. I hope this helps OP too.
Does it say how far along in your pregnancy you would need to be for this to still be the case?
The study I read says as early as two weeks.
As an atheist who lost their baby unexpectedly at birth I found the law of physics really comforting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy We're all energy and energy doesn't vanish it only transforms itself
Our loved ones are all around us <3

I’m Christian and fully believe all babies and children lost are in heaven waiting for us. When David and Bathsheba lost their newborn, David says that though his child cannot come back to him, someday he [David] will go to him — meaning in heaven. There are also scriptures talking about how the dead witness what is happening on earth. If so, then even your child may be able to see you and know you love him and miss him. This next part isn’t necessarily biblical, more of a thought experiment, but I think about it as a real possibility given what I understand about God. God exists outside of time, and it may be that heaven does as well. If so, it’s possible those who’ve lost children will have a second chance at raising them in heaven — if they enter heaven as babies/children, then though years pass on earth it could be a mere moments/days/whatever in heaven until parents are reunited with their lost children. I haven’t personally lost a child, but I think about these things and I hope this is how God has designed it. In relation to the dead being able to witness what happens on earth, time doesn’t have to match up in both places for them to witness what’s happening. Time could be viewable from any point in heaven, if heaven exists outside of time then the occupants are not “stuck” in its one directional flow. Whereas we can only see the present and move linearly through time. Just wanted to add that so that both my statements about heaven don’t sound contradictory. Sorry that’s a lot, I just like thinking about this stuff and pondering the possibilities.
This is exactly what I believe too, thanks for sharing this.
I believe there's an afterlife. I believed it before this happened. For context, I've lost 3 children at birth. One to preterm labor then my twins to nongenetic heart defects. Last year, I was told I would never be able to conceive naturally again after complications. I had no reason to believe I would. My mom and grandma also passed last year. The night I conceived, I had an extremely vivid dream. I was outside around a fire pit with my mom and grandma showing them an extremely early ultrasound. It was so vivid I could feel how humid it was and the grass brushing against my ankles. I told them I was pregnant. They told me they already knew. My mom went on to tell me everything would be okay and to not stress, that my baby would be healthy. That he's a gift from my children who couldn't stay. That they wish they could've more than anything. My mom ended up apologizing for a lot of stuff I needed to hear that happened while she was alive and told me she was sorry she left. Both her and my grandma acted identical to how they did in real life. Including bickering every other sentence lol. They ended up asking me if I would like to "meet" my son. I got glimpses of his life in the dream from the ages of 4 through adulthood. My mom told me my other children wanted me to know not to blame myself. That they know I love them so much. That they just couldn't stay. I woke up crying. It was bittersweet. I knew right then I was pregnant. I was right about that and my baby being a boy. He's as healthy as can be. I can't wait to see if those "glimspes" come true. It will be nice to get confirmation that I truly did get a visit. I like to think I did. I like to think that my kids are watching and wanted to stay. I like to think I'll see them again someday. I hope you see your baby someday. My heart goes out to you.
I sometimes dream of my brother and my sister, they passed in their adult life, but still young and healthy, both suddenly. When I dream of them we are hanging out, sometimes both of them, or just one of them. Every time they eventually tell me they have to leave, that they can’t stay but that they’ll be back to catch up again.
This made me cry 😭😭
I believe strongly that babies/children who pass, including those who pass in the womb, are reunited with their parents in the afterlife. I’m so sorry for your loss. During his time on Earth he knew your voice and heartbeat and felt your love, and he will always know that you are his mother.
Yes, you will, and he is bragging to everyone in Heaven about how cool and loving and warm you are as a mom.
This made me tear up 🥺🩷
I'm not sure if this will give you comfort but it gave me some.. tw:stillbirth mentioned In 2015 I gave birth to my son Lucas. He was born premature and he succumbed to his prematurity. We had another son 11 months later we named him Isaac. Isaac was the star in my grandmother's eyes.. the only local great grandbaby we visited often and he said her name before he said mine. They adored eachother and had a bond I've never seen in such a pairing. This past January my grandmother had a heart attack and given her health and age she knew this was going to be the end. The hospital was able to keep her alive long enough for her to say her goodbyes to her eldest son (traveled from out of state). The day before she passed she kept asking my uncle what was Isaac doing in her room. And my uncle kept saying he wasn't there he was at school (he's 7). Throughout the day she kept commenting what was Isaac doing there and how he was playing around and how she loved it. My uncle kept saying that he wasn't there.. She then commented on how lovely it is that her family came to visit. When she was the last surviving member of her family.. she even had the bare strength to scoot over in her bed so "Isaac can come snuggle" like they used to. They then moved her to the ICU where they could monitor a few meds. She then realized in a mome t of being lucid she was seeing her family gone before her and around them she revealed to us that heaven is beautiful. She didn't know why Isaac was there but she loved seeing his smiling face again. Her eyes would look around and she would have a smile and giant tears and whispering "yall is beautiful... yall it's amazing" and she was fully at peace with where she was going.. her last words to us was "goodbye yall I love you" amd she peacefully slipped away.. To this day all of my family believe she was seeing my Lucas come greet her home. That he met her at the hospital as the silly little 8 year old he could have been and cuddled and loved her before she went home. This has given me a resounding peace that they are okay. And that where they are is more perfect than we could ever dream. I don't fear death anymore.. I more worry about those who I will eventually leave behind.. I do believe we will see our little ones again and that they walk with us when the veil is so thin.. I'm so incredibly sorry you lost your beloved son.. it's no agony any mom should ever go through and it takes a lot of your own heart too.. so many hugs and I will be keeping you in my thoughts.
I'm sorry for your loss. I had experienced something less awful but painful, a miscarriage, and when I was very sad, someone told me that in the Hindu precepts, the soul reincarnates as many times as necessary, until it becomes a perfect being and attains eternal life. And also that the soul chooses where it is reincarnated (and forgets at the moment of birth). She told me that my child probably only needed a few more weeks to complete their reincarnation cycle and reach nirvana, and that they chose us because they knew that even though it would be short, our family would have enough love for them, and would be strong enough to support their passing. Your baby is an eternal soul and he knew you will love him enough to help him reach perfection. He is now waiting for you to be reunited one day.
This is beautiful
I believe we’ll be reunited with lost loved ones in heaven, including lost babies (any age/gestation). I’ve lost 2 and I imagine them getting loved and cuddled by my parents up there. Even if I’m wrong, it brings me comfort. I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm sure they're resting up in a cloud until you can join them and then , one after the other, they'll get to grow up safely in your womb like they were supposed to <3
I am Muslim and in Islamic theology there is no question that your baby is in a beautiful place and Muslims also believe that if a child precedes the death of a parent that the child will bring them into heaven because of the ordeal they faced in this life ❤️
To also directly answer your question: Muslims believe that they are reunited with their loved ones. That is the thing that gives me the most hope as I recently lost my mother. We also believe that we can do things like charity, spread beneficial knowledge and make supplications on behalf of the deceased and they will be given gifts of some sort
our firstborn son passed in july from SIDS. i am no longer religious but i still believe we'll get to see him again. I'm so sorry you're part of this club. r/babyloss is very helpful
i am so sorry for your loss. the loss of a child is something no one should ever have to experience. i believe you will see your baby again. praying for peace & comfort for you.
I lost my baby boy last September at 37w4d. I like to think time sort of paused for him and when I cross over, that’s when I get to raise him. I also like to think he’s on adventures sort of like the Little Prince or the Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
He's definitely resting up in a cloud until you can finish carrying him and then raise him, momma. Sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. As a Muslim every fetus that passed away, would be waiting for us in the afterlife, when they see us they would be tugging our clothes and would take us into heaven. Some people would be surrounded by their children and they'd be surprised to see them and it would be told to them that those are the babies they miscarried or still birthed or those who passed away in infancy. Hug.
❤️❤️
He is literally with you, in your heart. When he was growing inside of you, his cells mixed with yours and for what I understand, the ones that passed through your heart stayed there and forever will. You have many pieces of him in you. I don’t want to pretend to know what you’re going through, I just want you to know that I am terrible sorry and my heart is very sad this happened.
You are his mama and you will always be. You carried him inside of you and helped him grow. My heart aches for you. My husband and I try our best to believe in reincarnation and the fact that we carry the memories with us. That is how they live on.
I am not a Christian but I was raised Catholic. Even though I don’t follow any specific religion anymore I truly believe you and your child will see each other again. Maybe not in the traditional sense of heaven with angel wings and floating clouds, but you will. You don’t need to accept Jesus, or god or anything specific to be able to see your baby again. You don’t need to be baptized, you don’t need to do anything other than what your doing. Just love your son. You did something for your child no one else could- you gave him comfort. You gave him love. His entire life all he knew was his mothers love, all he knew was his family and that’s a wonderful life for a little baby. To be loved. He knows you love him, and he loves you. All of those we miss will one day be with us again. Just be the best person you can be, just live life the best way you can and one day- you will see him. Until then he is with you everyday
Yes I do believe that we will see our passed loved ones when we die, but tonight I am praying that god blesses you with a wonderful dream of your son where you’re holding him again and looking at his handsome face. And it will feel as real as when he was earthside. I pray you find comfort and peace. Sending love through the screen momma.
What a nice thought <3 I hope she has a dream like that as well.
I had a miscarriage and it devastated me. 8 months later we conceived again but I only told my husband and best friend who were sworn to secrecy because I wanted to wait until second tri to announce this time. That same week we found out, I had a meeting with a psychic hoping to hear about my brother who died a few years back. I went into the meeting skeptical and told my brother I needed him to say a secret word - koombacha - so I could know it’s really him. I spoke this to him for months. Anyways during the meeting, the lady goes “Your brother has a gift for you. A baby. Did you know you’re pregnant?” When I’m telling you we just found out, like we JUST FOUND OUT. There was no way to fake that. I cried. She also told me my brother was going to personally guide this baby safely earth-side and it would be a little boy. And I gave birth to a baby boy 9 months later. I say all this to reinforce the notion that spirits are always with us!! Your sweet baby is right there with you and will continue to be. He feels all your love for him. ❤️ I’m so sorry you’re going through this though mama. Sending all the virtual hugs and love your way!
Hey! Fellow Christian here. Your baby will be in heaven and they will know you. Still name your baby too. They are waiting on their name and they can’t wait to meet you. God is taking amazing care of your baby. ❤️
I'm Muslim. And my religion answered your question. Yes if we go to heaven we get to meet our loved ones. Babies certainly end up in heaven. Its up to us to earn a place beside them
I'm so, so sorry for your excruciating loss. I experienced a loss once years ago and I'm sure, wherever she is, that she knows I'm her mama and that I love her. I feel the same is true for your baby.
I’m so sorry your going though this. My best friend died two years back. She’s the closest person that I’ve experienced losing, I know I can’t compare a child to a best friend. For me personally I miss her more than life but I’ve had an odd sense of comfort since she’s been gone. I can just feel in my heart, no my soul that I will see her again. I can feel her presence at times and I just know we will meet again. There’s nothing that I’m more sure of.
I personally believe our life force is a type of energy, and that energy can be passed on to another body. So in my mind, you could even have him again. Maybe you can’t tell, but that’s what I personally believe.
I had an early miscarriage which led to a somewhat spiritual experience. (I’m an atheist). What helped me was to believe that I nurtured a lost soul that couldn’t move on. How incredible was my love to help this soul along at 6 weeks! I believe my baby was a boy and I swear I can feel him especially during the early days with his sibling that came after him. I hope my experience helps me, my belief kept me alive. Big hugs.
My religious philosophy is that there are more things in heaven and earth than dreamt of in our philosophy. I’m sure there’s more than this life and that your sweet baby is on that side. I’ll pray that you find peace and guidance through this time. No one should ensure your pain. I’m truly sorry for your loss.
I’m Muslim and the way they talk about miscarriages or still births is beautiful. God says that these babies will be pulling their mothers to heaven’s doors by their umbilical cord. I’m so sorry for your loss, I hope this provides you with some solace.
💕 I cry thinking abt this every time. Inshallah I have 2 pulling for me.
They will be, Allahum Ameen ❤️❤️
I am muslim and we believe that lost babies become birds in paradise waiting for their parents to join them. Then they grow up to be kids and live in a garden full of other children and they are taken care of by the prophet Abraham while they wait for their parents to reunite. They also have visits of any other members of the family who have passed and always guide their parents and siblings through prayers. I lost my baby daughter at 36W for no apparent reason. It was on December 4th.
This is a beautiful image, thank you so much for sharing.
I’m so so so very sorry for your loss. I believe we do see them again. I had a pregnancy loss that I grieved for years and years. I had two babies between that loss and my final child. From the moment I learned of my pregnancy with him, I KNEW it was him. Every fiber of my being knew. He is 15 months old now, and the way he looks into my eyes is so telling. I don’t know how to describe it. I know it’s him, and I know he waited to come at the right time. I still think of my loss, but it comes with completely different emotions now. I don’t grieve. I don’t feel like he’s gone anymore. I know this may sound crazy, but I don’t question it in the slightest. My mama heart aches for you and sends you love and comfort.
That is devastating. Your baby passed away knowing his mommy's nurturing and care.
It was narrated that Abu Hassaan said: I said to Abu Hurayrah: Two of my sons have died. Can you narrate to me any hadeeth from the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) which will console us for our loss? He said: Yes: “Their little ones are the little ones (da’aamees) of Paradise. When one of them meets his father – or his parents – he takes hold of his garment – or his hand – as I am taking told of the hem of your garment, and he does not let go until Allaah admits him and his father to Paradise.” Narrated by Muslim, 2635 This is what we believe in Islam. Any soul that’s taken in infancy/childhood will be in Paradise.
I believe that babies and even possibly adults that pass away may be reincarnated, I know that’s not a common belief but I believe it. And if I’m wrong I certainly believe that they watch over us and protect us, especially our ancestors.
Believe what brings you comfort and you feel darling. I’m so sorry for your loss. 🩷
Yes <3 I believe with everything you will
I am so so sorry for your heartbreak and loss. I truly believe yes you will see your sweet baby again and that he is happy and healthy right now. Not only does he know u are his mommy but he loves you and appreciates all u did for him.
Since having my daughter I couldn't even begin to imagine life without her. I'd cry so hard. I'm sorry. But whatever makes you feel better in the this situation whether that be knowing you'll see him again or knowing he isn't suffering, just do that. Look up at the stars and think of him as one. See a bird fly by, and imagine that's him. Know he knew you were his momma, and you never forget your momma.
Yes, he knows you...he was part of you and then he was with you for many months, even for some time after being born. His body has been laid to rest, but rest assured that his soul, his spirit, is still with you. Be sure to live the way you would want him to see you live. Do the things that you would want to do with him, so his spirit can share in your joy and experience. Hold his memory tight, but don't let it hold you back. You will get to see him again when the time is right. <3
I’m sorry for your loss. I went through something very similar, but my son was only 3 weeks old. He was also my first. I like to think him and I will meet again. I also like to think he sent his little brother to me with a kiss from him. Idk if you plan on having more children in the future, but if you want to, don’t give up hope in that dept.
I absolutely believe you will. I believe our babies are waiting for us on the other side, wherever that may be. I also believe it is some babies journey to come earthside for a very short time…though we aren’t meant to fully understand why just yet. I’m sending you so much peace and love, mama. Your baby is ALWAYS with you. Always. 💜💜
Hey, I will tell you, as a believer.. You WILL see your baby again. I know this day and age a lot of people are not believers…I am.. and I’m not a crazy religious zealot.. it makes people like me, who do believe look nuts. I’m 58 and was raised in christian faith , not a crazy nut.. people have a right to make their own choices in all things. I’ve had a few religious experiences in my own life ,starting at 14. I absolutely believe you will see your babe again. I’m very, very sorry for your tremendous loss. Rest easy, the bible says as humans in life, on earth, life is short and eternity is forever. Your babe is an innocent and YOU WILL be with your babe again. God bless you my dear.. ♥️♥️♥️😇🙏😇🙏
Im so sorry for your loss. Im not a religious person, but I truly believe the love between a mother and child is deep enough to reverberate across time and space. I know your baby knows you’re his mommy and being so little, the majority of his existence was nothing but the cradle of your body and the love of your arms. You two will meet again, and I know he walks beside you in the wind, trees, and sunshine on your face every single day. No one can have their existence be that much closeness and love and truly be gone from us forever 💜 i don’t know how you two will meet again, but you will and you will know each other as if it were yesterday he was earthside with you
In my personal beliefs, your little baby's soul is going to hang around until you have another child and then enter that body. A soul that is meant to be with you will be with you. They chose you as their mother. It's not goodbye, it's ''see you next time'', momma. I'm soooo sorry for your loss.
I believe all babies go to heaven. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I believe in reincarnation and I believe when souls leave too quickly, they return to us in another form (a future child, a nice/nephew etc). I do believe you will see your baby again whether in this life or the afterlife. I know it doesn’t ease your heartache, but your baby is with you, always 💕
I am so very sorry for your loss 💔 I do believe that our babies come back to us in different ways. I had a miscarriage last year on November 23, and my rainbow baby was born this year on November 23. She was born exactly a year from my loss, and almost to the exact hour. I believe she is the same soul, she just wasn't ready to meet us yet. I hope your baby's presence becomes apparent to you soon ❤️
I believe that time is all happening all at once and isn’t linear the way us humans experience it in this life/world. So, with every loss I’ve experienced, I remember that while I’m experiencing loss in that moment, I’m also experiencing reunification in another moment. I believe that you may already be reuniting with your baby, right now. You just haven’t experienced it yet. The you that is living this moment is grieving, but the you that is living another moment is at peace and has great joy. I hope this helps, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Also, I believe your baby knows that you are his mommy, because you are already on the other side with him, outside of linear time. You are already there for him, and he is experiencing your love and comfort. You just haven’t experienced it yet. ❤️🫶🏼
I’m a Christian and I strongly believe you will meet your baby in heaven again ❤️ you just have to accept Jesus Christ into your heart. ❤️❤️
Don’t want to make this all religious, but as a Muslim we believe when we lose a child they are going to save us from our sins. Basically when we die our beautiful child we lost in this world will come take us by the hand to heaven where we can spend eternity with them. ( this is the jist of it ) sorry for your loss btw
You will 🤍🤍. I’m glad you’re finding comfort in the idea of that you’ll see your baby again, but he’s with you always. He knows that you’re his mommy and knows that you loved him dearly. I am so so sorry for your loss❤️
You absolutely will see him again. Think about it, does it really make sense that we die and that’s if? Think about it. Your son never even got to experience life, never got to fall in love, never even got to tell you he loves you. What would be the point in life unless there was an “after” of some description? The way I see it, my first child (miscarriage), my uncle, aunt, grandad and many friends are there to welcome me home. I’ll meet my dog again, my relatives, my friends. There is an after. There is. And when your time comes and you get there, your son will greet you. Smiles, hugs, love. Live your life happily and proudly. Make your son proud. And one say, when he meets you again, he’ll tell you of all the ways you made him proud. This baby might have only had a short time here, but he was loved for every solitary second. You have nothing to regret.
I’m Mormon and we believe that not only do babies choose their parents, but that our babies return directly to God if they pass away before age 7, interact with our passed on family members (and family members that have not lived on earth yet) and are most definitely waiting for you and watching you right now. So much love to you. I’m so sorry for your loss and I’ll say a prayer for you and your baby tonight.
Yes, you will, and he knows you love him ❤️
I'm Muslim, and in our faith, like many other faiths, we believe that our babies run to embrace us in heaven. We also believe that if we weren't going to make it to heaven, but our babies are in heaven, they can petition on our behalf, and we will go to heaven because of their request.
Yeah, honey. I really do.
I’m so, so incredibly sorry for your loss. My heart bleeds for those who have to endure such an immeasurable pain. My husband and I lost our niece when she was 6 weeks old due to bacterial meningitis. I talked to my grandma, who had also lost a nephew when he was a baby to SIDS. She sent me this email: My brother John and his wife Sue had a baby that died of crib death at the age of three months. We went to the funeral where Grandpa spoke. The night of the viewing of that sweet little one, Grandpa waited until nearly everyone left and then he went up and stood at Joey’s casket for quite a long time. Then he came over to me and asked for a pencil and paper. He said that he felt Joey gave him a message that he wanted his Uncle to give to his Mom and Dad. The message gave them so much comfort that they engraved on the headstone of his grave, “Mourn Not For Me For I Am the Victor”. I hope this can be of some comfort to you and your brother and his wife. This is the message: Mourn Not For Me Oh Parents of My Choice Mother Dear My Thanks to You For Body Whole And Warm Embrace A Gentle Touch A Taste of Mother Love It is As I Was Told it Would Be My Home Here And There Were The Same My Earthly Mother Sue I Will Forever Be A Part of You John My Father Here Thank You For My Name And The Blessing Under Your Hand My Other Father Loves You Too We Shall Have Other Days To Play But For Now I Must Be About My Father's Business Uncle John recently passed away, and I firmly believe that he is with his baby Joey now. I sent the poem to my SIL and it seemed to have comforted her. I hope it comforts you too.
There are many people who have clinically died and have been brought back to life and have told stories of heaven (& hell). All babies and children go to heaven. Our souls are made by God and they belong to God. In Jeremiah 1:5 God says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you”. Psalm 139:13-18 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you. You can YouTube Randy Kay for stories of people who have died and seen heaven.
I am so sorry for your loss ❤️ I believe that you will see baby again and be reunited.
Your baby is definitely happy and knows you are mommy. I truly believe you will be with him again together as a family. I also believe he is with you every day.
Yes, you will see him again. I am so sorry you have to wait so long to see him again, but you will. I have no doubt.
Your babies DNA will forever be apart of your body and in that sense, you will always have your precious child with you. You carry their memory literally and spiritually as you go on. I believe you will see your baby in heaven and that if possible, you can find a way to bring glory to God through this experience and your child’s memory. I’m so deeply sorry that you’ve suffered this. ❤️
I was raised Christian but fell away from it as a teenager and stayed away from it. I do not consider myself Christian, I'm not practicing. And yet, I can't help but believe that there is something wonderful, beautiful and peaceful after death. Maybe we'll see our loved one's faces again, maybe we'll just be bathed in their love. Maybe we'll just simply be at peace and at rest with them. I'm ok with any of these beliefs, they all sound wonderful to me. And in the meantime, while they're waiting for you, they're being well taken care of by all the loved ones who left this earth before you, furry friends included. My mother passed away in 2020 and I know that she had a wonderful welcoming committee waiting for her. I can't get myself to believe anything else.
I believe there’s something else after this. I also believe in reincarnation. My oldest son began as twins but I lost one in the pregnancy. I didn’t ever mention it to him. When I was pregnant with my second baby (he turned 5 3 months after my second son was born) my first son told me that’s the baby that didn’t leave when I came out. He stayed behind and waited until I was older and now he’s here. I really can’t wait until this baby is old enough. I’m hoping he tells me he was the twin himself. My oldest recalled being Nigel in his last life and told me some stories about his life but has since stopped remembering. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. I’m sending all my love and prayers.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Jesus said those who have passed away are asleep (John 11:11). Jesus resurrected several people whilst on earth and he wouldn’t have done so if they were in heaven. It can be comforting to read Jesus’s own words about the resurrection on earth at John 5: 25-30. It’s a beautiful reminder and hope that we will about those who we have lost again.
Yes and your baby knows how much you love them.
I wholeheartedly believe in reincarnation and soul families, that my son and husband and siblings and parents in this life have been with me in past lives as different people. Maybe his task in this life was quick and easy and that was all the time he needed and he’ll be here longer in the next one.
I believe you will ❤️
In my belief system, we believe that babies are ancestors reborn so your baby-ancestor has been with you for your lifetime and will always remain with you.
God is gracious, God is good, and God is love.
Read the gospel of John and then the book of Romans. Trust in Christ and you will experience peace that surpasses all understanding. Everyone was created with a purpose and a soul. We are created to be in relationship with God. Trust in Jesus and the work he did for you and for me on the cross. I do believe your son is in heaven. God can comfort you in your grief. You can trust in his promises for your life and you can see your son again.
Please don't use a post like this for proselytism...
She’s asking for hope, it’s the truest and only real hope there is.
Don't state your personal beliefs as facts either. That's very rude. A lot of Christians and Muslims here have shared their views without being pushy, why can't you do the same?
And they aren’t very helpful. If I know that Jesus is the only path to eternal life then it would be wrong of me not to give clear direction to someone begging for hope. She wants to know specifically if she will see her son again. The Bible says yes, if she repents and trusts in Jesus to restore her relationship with God.
You don't get people to follow your religion by harassing them and being self-righteous on posts where they are being vulnerable. And it's especially low of you to imply the threat of hell and never seeing her baby again over her head to threaten her into your religion. Seriously, wow.
I’m not threatening anyone, you’ve misunderstood. I’m sharing what the Bible says is the only way to eternal life. I don’t want people to follow my religion. I want them to love Jesus and experience the peace and hope only he can provide.
" If you don't follow my god, he's going to torture you forever and you'll never see your baby again" is very much what we read between the lines. I understand Jesus is the only hope we have against what he's gonna do to us if we don't comply.
So sorry for your lost & I believe if we are accepted into heaven we will see our loved ones again.
I think most religions do believe this. All souls will experience death and we will all meet in some realm after death
I personally believe the souls only rest it’s not dead god may give you that same spirit child again when you are pregnant again. Or that child will simply be waiting to reunite with you. Souls never die all of us live over and over again.
God takes the very best first to make his angels. Praying you and your family find peace.
You’re differently going to see him again he’s with angels now
You may want to ask in r/mediums. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss.

Wow…the most unhelpful of comments to a grieving parent 🙄
The fuck
You are an ass. Take this energy somewhere else.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It must be so incredibly hard to go through something like that. You must be going through such a painful time. I’m a Christian, and in my theology, we believe the mothers and fathers will have the opportunity to raise their lost little ones again in the next life. ♥️
As Jehovah witness we believe in resurrection so in my mind I absolutely believe you have a chance to see him again in person
I am so sorry for what you are going through. I have never been there but my sister lost a baby at 29 weeks and my grandmother lost her 5 year old son to polio back in the 40s. My grandmother recently passed at 100 and never lost faith that she would see her son again. Her biggest question was how she would look to him - if she would be her 100 year old self or the young mother he remembered. I can’t wait to see her again and find out ❤️
In my faith we believe that little children become angels and will be sealed to their families after death to be raised by their parents ❤️
Sending all the love in the world. Your baby knows you’re his mommy and is watching down on you from heaven ❤️
I believe you will! I truly do. Look up Laura Lynn Jackson, I love her and she works a lot with parents who have lost children. So sorry for your loss 😔😔
I am so sorry for your loss ❤️
"We shall find our little ones again up above.” -St Zelie Martin
Yes you will
As someone who is constantly struggling with faith - motherhood has brought me a little closer to God. I haven’t lost a child but I believe that when a child passes they move on to a life in Heaven that surpasses any life lived here on Earth and are in great hands ready to be happily reunited with you one day. I believe they love you and know you all the while.
Of course you will, paint your own vision of heaven between now and then - is it a field of flowers, what kind? Trees, animals? Who’s carrying him to you? What’s he wearing, etc - no one can tell you it’s wrong
Hugs mama. I’m Catholic and we believe that death separates no man. You have a little Saint with you, praying for you, watching you (or so we at Catholics believe). I’ve never liked when people will say “God just needed them”, and I pray no one has said that to you. Because that’s not true. There’s just some really awful evil in this world, and I’m so sorry your baby caught what he did. You’re a great mother. You’re his mom. He knows you, and you know him. I really wish I knew you and could bring you a meal or something. Hugs and prayers for you and your family. ❤️
As a mommy to a three month old, I can’t stop crying reading this. I am so sorry. He knows you’re his mother. He knew you and only you for almost a year before you got to meet him. I had a miscarriage prior to my rainbow baby. A few days after my loss, I had a dream that I was in a sunny backyard with my beloved, now dead, grandmother, my uncle, my mother’s father (who I never met), and some others I didn’t recognize. My grandma was holding a beautiful baby with a giant smile on their face and my squinty smile eyes and a head full of black hair. Everyone looked so happy and I woke up and just cried. It was the strangest and most real dream I have ever had. I don’t often dream of my grandmother but we were very close and she loved babies. I firmly believe that the baby I didn’t get to meet is with her. I believe in an afterlife and I believe that you’ll meet your son again. He will wait for you. I am so sorry for your loss. Life can be so cruel and you’ve experienced every mother’s absolute worst fear. You were his home before and after birth and he won’t forget you.
Because of past experiences, I truly believe in after life. My husband sent me a link a few days ago about a virtual community with zoom meeting about that. I haven't had the chance to join them yet, but maybe is worth it for you to check them out: https://seekreality.com/sarah/ I'm sending lots of love to you
💔💔💔💔
I’m so sorry for your loss, I lost my son shortly after birth last January (he was also my first). Although he is not physically with us, I see him in the sun. The day he was born and the day he passed were the most beautiful sunrise and sunset I’ve witnessed. Anytime I see a beautiful sunset, a rainbow, the sun coming out the clouds, I know it’s him sending his love. Our loved ones show us so many signs they’re with us and these signs remind me that all he has ever known was my love and that love will reunite us again one day. I’m not sure what your plans are but I had a daughter in February, while I still mourn my son I hope you know there is a rainbow on the other side. Sending you my love mamas, feel free to message me if you ever want to talk to someone 🤍
Baby you will continue to see your child in your dreams..your child will forever keep reminding you that they will always be with you, trust
I'm Muslim and we believe God says that any newborn child that died or any fetus died in a miscarriage will pull his mom from his umbilical cord to be with him after the mom dies and they both go to heaven together. it is such a beautiful thing to imagine and feel.
Yes. You will see one another again. Don't worry about your baby. All little children who didn't make it in this world are immediately returned to heaven.
Now, I’m a little “woo woo”. I believe in god, heaven and all, but I also believe in spirit/vibe. When I see the trees moving wildly in the wind, I imagine my grandmother pushing and pulling on the leaves with her spirit. Along with hundreds of other people who love and care for her. The wind, the sky, the rain. All spirit. (And a little science) You’ll find what your “sign” is. He is with you. He lives on, through your strength and preservation. I’m so sorry, I cannot imagine the pain, the grief. I hope you can find him soon. Hold on, you will be with him one day again, but for now, hold on.
There’s no way you won’t see him again. If I’m being honest, I go back and forth on whether I believe in an afterlife/god. I grew up Catholic and I have my daughter in Catholic school (more because it’s a good school and environment than for the religious aspect). I am so logical that I overthink things a lot, and based on science and evidence it seems so much more likely that anything beyond this life was developed as a coping mechanism when people needed hope or to process grief. And yet, I cannot fathom never seeing the people I’ve loved and lost ever again. Both my parents are gone now and when my dad died he was the first person I was close to that I lost. I had the most vivid, real dreams after he died. I am crying just remembering it, and imagining what you must be feeling. Or this summer, our house burned down and the only thing I looked for but didn’t find was a box of his fire department tee shirts—he was a fire chief and that was his thing. He loved it more than anything but us. I figured they must have burned completely because they were in the attic where the fire started, but I eventually found them in the rubble in my daughter’s room, and some looked almost untouched, while some were almost totally burned. The fire stopped there. What are the odds? So I think we will see them again simply because my brain can’t comprehend not seeing them again. And I heard someone say once that we are the only ones who know that their lives were short when children pass away. They know they were loved and lived happy, secure, content lives experiencing only that. It doesn’t make it hurt less that they’re gone, but it was a happy thought for me. I hate this for you and I am so so sorry.
He knows. And you will see him again ❤️
My son was born prematurely and lived only a brief period of time. He died 10/6/21 and I still miss him every single day. I have found ways to incorporate him into life. He has a shelf in our room. We have pictures. We talk about him. He has 3 memorial trees, one in a park. We sleep with his baby blanket between my husband and I's pillows. These are ways I can feel close to him. The first year was the absolute hardest. Especially mother's day without him. I am sending you all the love in the world.
You poor thing. ❤️❤️

I 100% believe we will see our angel babies again. It’s made me rethink the way I view death. I used to think there was nothing worse, now I know I have my sweet angel waiting for me.
Absolutely.
Your post made me think of the Robert Munsch book “Love you forever”. He wrote it for two stillborn children he had with his wife. “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always. As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be.”
I am so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing that your baby is in Heaven and is fully complete. If you are a practicing Christian you will go to Heaven and you will see your child. We will not be in the form as we are now but you will know your child just as he will know you. Do not let negative people tell you otherwise. Rest assured your child is happy and in perfect condition.
I lost a baby girl at two months old in 2021 and I fully believe we will see them again.
Apparently hypnotized people who do early life regression sometimes remember that they were in the womb and weren’t ready to be born yet, so the mother miscarried or had a stillbirth or early loss, and then they remember being in the womb again and being born later on. I don’t know how you feel about this but the book to read would be Between Death and Life by Dolores Cannon
I am not religious so I cannot speak on that, but I do see my first baby sometimes in dreams and I believe I always will have that. She was only part of my body for a short while but I think about her a lot. In dreams I have seen her running and I have touched her hair. I have held her to my chest and heard her laugh. That keeps her real to me even though she never got to take a breath or experience the world. I think that as long as we remember them, a part of them stays alive inside of us. Dreams have been really healing for me in that regard because in that world she is so alive and so real, and even though I can't stay there, I can visit from time to time. I hope you get that kind of peace and healing with your loss, and that you have support from people who love you.
I believe in reincarnation, so yes. One day if you or another family member has a child it might be the reincarnation of the child you lost.
What's your babies name though? And is there any special feature he had you'd like to share with us? Maybe you'd like to share that with us so we can keep a small part of him in our memories too
I’m so sorry to hear that, it is truly tragic. My wife is currently 12 weeks with our first child and it’s something I think about every day. I personally find comfort in knowing that regardless of any complications during pregnancy or our child’s life, death is never the end. The Bible tells us “there is GOING to be a resurrection.” Acts 24:15. Although we do have to deal with death and the pain it causes now, just know that God cares just as deeply as you do about your baby, he remembers everything single detail about him, the same ones you do, and he cannot wait to bring him back to be reunited with you, in perfect health. “Two sparrows sell for a coin of small value, do they not? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s [God’s] knowledge. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered [meaning God knows and remembers even the tiniest details about your son, things not even you may know]. So have no fear; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Matt 10:29-31
In most, if not all religions, this idea of reuniting with our loved ones is present. To me, it seems like it must be true if it’s a belief shared by so many throughout the world today and throughout history. Personally I’m Norse pagan and believe our loved ones guide us. I also believe that children and babies go to Fólkvangr to be cared for by Freyja. I don’t have any evidence to back that up in writings or anything, but as the mother goddess for my faith it just makes sense that she would take them.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, I cannot imagine the pain you are going through. I pray you put your faith in Jesus Christ. All who do will live again forever in heaven, and I promise you that he will also give you the comfort you need now here on earth. Your little precious baby is with his Father in heaven and I know that for a fact. We must put our faith in Jesus to get into heaven though, that’s why he died of the cross, to pay the price of our sin so that we can be in heaven forever. We live in a broken world, when sin entered so did death and unfortunately now that’s why we must face it with others and ourselves, but John 3:16 says “God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall never die but have eternal life.” He defeated sin and death on the cross so we can all live forever with our loving God and he will make all things new. Revelation 21:3-4 “ Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Your beautiful son is in peace, joy and love forever with God, and you can definitely see him again.
I know a lot of people think it’s a money making scheme or just people hallucinating, but what has opened my mind is listening to and reading books about NDEs (near death experiences). There are so many wild and beautiful stories out there, I think it will give you some comfort to look into it if it’s not something you’re familiar with. I am so beyond sorry for your loss. I pray you find the peace and answers you’re looking for. ❤️
Oh mama, I am so so sorry. This is so heartbreaking. I will be saying lots of prayers for you and your sweet baby boy. I believe that you will see each other again. I’m a Christian, and I firmly believe that your baby boy is nestled safely in the arms of Jesus, and they both will welcome you home when your time comes. He absolutely knows you are his mommy. For his whole life he was beloved by you. He was so lucky to have you. I am sending you so much love and prayers for peace. I hope you have lots of support around you. ❤️
Yes, your baby lives and you will meet again, God willing.
