Well it's been nearly 2 years since we lost our twin boys, Brodie and Reilly. We now have a gorgeous DD, Georgia and I was wondering how you remember your angels after you have subsequent children? The last two years we have gone to a particular spot, released a balloon and just held eachother watching the sun set.
I am not sure whether to continue this now we have DD. That's not saying I want to forget them but I am just not sure if we should continue this with her IYKWIM..
It seems harder this year than last year. Maybe because DD has shown us what could have been....

My children are old enough to know what happened to Emma but the girls arent old enough. We have a plague for her up the hospital, we have gone up there and let balloons go for her and wished her a Happy birthday and a Merry chritmas as her birthday is the 24th Dec,This year we have the girls and we will be doing it agian this year the girls may not be old enough to understand what is happening but with time they will understand they have a big sister that God just had to have, and she just wasnt meant to stay here with us. It has been two years at the end of this year that we have lost Emma.

I make Kiara a birthday card every year and Dylan knows about her, but doesn't understand too much - just that Kiara died inside Mummy's belly and now she's up with the stars....
I think it's good to involve the rest of the family - YOU will always remember them and love them, but sometimes the rest of the family forgets and if you have a set thing you do each year then keep doing it.
Kiara was stillborn 5 years ago and not one person (even my husband) said anything this year - like she never existed. I will always remember my little angel and will always make her a card saying so - she will always be remembered by me.....

If I dont make the plans and tell my Dh well then nothing is done, I feel as though he has forgotten her, when I was pregnant with the twins I would go and see her when I got checked out and when I had them I went and see her plague everyday, If I dont ask him to come with me to see it he doesnt bother so I know how u feel heatherstclair, no one really acknowlegded that we lost her, but life goes on and it is cruel.

Thankyou both for your replies. Crazymumtobe- your children are all so gorgeous...
We ended up doing what we have every year- going to a special spot on the lake and having a picnic. The atmosphere was different though, kindof bittersweet having DD. I was also miscarrying on the day which was really hard, losing this bub (due on DD's birthday next year) on the twin's due date. I don't know if it gets any easier as time goes on, I keep thinking about having the boys (they would be two and toddlers) and Georgia...

Best Wishes to you both,
