This is Our American Stories. And every month We tell the stories. of lives lost through miscarriage, Stillborn birth. and sudden infant death syndrome. And we do that because in 1988, President Ronald Reagan declared October Infant Loss Month.
And not a lot of people know about that. But so many people experience this.
So many families across this country And it's one of those things I think More people need to talk about And we've had personal experience here on the show. with miscarriage and stillborn birth. me personally, my wife's best friend in Baltimore. Pam. She had one miscarriage, and, oh my goodness, the grief And then she went back, she and her husband.
committed to having another child and She got pregnant. She was so happy, but she was so scared. And then came the news. She lost another, and I'd never seen that kind of grief in my life. And so we bring you these stories, and we want to hear yours, by the way.
Write to us, we'll help you record your story. And don't worry. We're not afraid to hear you cry, we're not afraid of the grief. And share it with others. It'll help.
Today's story comes from Meghan Bayer. who experienced a stillborn birth. and in spite of the haze of her suffering, She made the effort to write her husband. A tribute. A Tribute of Gratitude.
She graciously recorded it for us. Together we held our son who was stillborn in the middle of the night. You helplessly watched your daughter take her last breath. on my warm bare chest. You are always calm, collected, and stoic, although grieving in your own man way.
As my world fell apart, somehow you did not I'm in awe of that each and every single day. Difficult decisions and logistics were all part of your job. You calmly stepped out for phone calls. you spoke to the nurses and birth registrar. You made the arrangements with the funeral home, and met with them before I did.
arranged the cremations, and obtained death certificates when insurance needed it. You worked out all the payments with whomever needed paid. Not one complaint ever crossed your lips. Through all those long dark days. As my body healed and my heart ached from the traumatic deliveries, You wrapped your arms around me and held my soul so tightly.
We cried together many lonely nights, As we grieved the path we envisioned I think back, in awe, of the strength you displayed Your determinations and wise decisions. You took off work from my follow up appointments, made me dinner, and listened to all my fears. When medical bills arrived, you made sure they stayed out of sight. even when it didn't prevent any tears. After long hours at work, you would come home to me a sad and broken woman.
You supported me when I quit nursing and went back to waiting tables. You encouraged me to go back to school and find myself again. You knew when to listen and when to challenge my reckless and crazy grit. You've been critical to my success, frequently squashing seeds of doubt. never wavering in your love and commitment to our pipe dream of one day having a family.
Each year, when the dates rolled by. and you're the only one to notice. You genuinely hug me. Give me a kiss. and sometimes flowers are in order.
Late at night sometimes when my tears hit your chest You sigh a deep sad breath before you kiss me good night.
Some day we will tell the true story to our girls, all of the sad and intimate details, the truth about our family story. Not the Facebook Fairy Tales. I envision they will shed a tear For the children that came before Maybe grateful for the lessons we learned. or the ones we had in store. Occasionally gratefulness flows over me.
with the sight of our stunning girls. And I am almost thankful for our losses. These girls have changed our world. Life would be so different without them and the visceral joy they bring. Yet still, a silent storm of sorrow leaves us constantly grieving.
Nowadays our life keeps us busy, Love and laughter heals most the pain. But the ache in sorrow never really leaves. It just simply hides away. Thank you for your endless dedication to us in our tiny dream. The burden feels so heavy, but you're so inspiring.
You've gracefully carried more pain than most will ever know. Thank you. It's a gesture that I owe. Uh Always know that I am here for you, and I see the true man you are. You are my husband.
