Stories of Other Loss
Samantha
by Tonya Richards, Hazel Park, U.S.A.
Sam died the day before she would have been 1 month. She is my sisters first child. I don't know how to even put into words the grief I feel. I was the first to know about her death and had to tell my mom. My mom called me and told me that Tina called 911 when Sam stopped breathing. I called Tina thinking I would find out that she was a first-time mom overreacting. She told me the doctors just told her she was gone. I felt like I was hit by a car. My whole world turned upside down I can't imagine what she was going through. I will never forget the sound of Steve sobbing in the background. The next few days were spent making funeral arrangements. My sister Kelly and I went and bought Sam the most beautiful dress and blanket. She looked like an angel. The funeral was the worst thing I have every gone through and hope to never see again. I can't find anyone to talk to other than aunts. Please email me tonyarichards@msn.com
