Maisie Elizabeth Kerry
Died 1st September 2007
5 days old
Selby
Sister to Abigail
Rare genetic disorder CPT 2 Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorder
Maisie was our first baby together. She was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Often I would
gaze at her in disbelief that she belonged to me! There isn't a day goes by that I don't
think about her or miss her terribly.
The Cord (poem)
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!
Walking in my Shoes
Poem
I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so much that I don't think I can take another step.
Yet I continue to wear them.
People treat me differently wearing these shoes.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
I now realise that I am not the only one that wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some women ache daily as they try to walk in them.
Some have learned with time how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they realise how much they really
hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.
Thank you to everyone for you beautiful words for our precious daughter, Maisie. x
Since my child died,
I feel as if my life has ended.
As my heart is so broken
and can never be mended.
You can't make me better,
NO I'm not gonna heal.
You haven't been where i am
So you don't know how i feel.
I hope you never have to feel
The way that i do.
I wouldn't wish on anyone
What I'm going through.
Stop asking how I'm feeling
Cos you don't want to know.
If i told you the truth
You'd get up and go.
I say that I'm ok
Cos its what you want to hear.
That's not how I'm feeling
It isn't anywhere near.
It makes you uncomfortable
When i mention her name.
You'd be quite happy
To never hear it again.
You make me so angry,
You make me so mad.
NO I'm not being miserable,
I'm just feeling so sad.
MY CHILD HAS DIED
Will you get it through your head
I spend my time now
Wishing i too were dead.
I wish someone could help me
To take away my pain,
But only my Angel can do that
When I'm holding her again.
If you're reading this
And you do understand.
Then you've lost your child too,
To you I offer my hand.
My hand offers comfort
That you'll get from no other,
It can only be found
In another grieving mother.
Our children are special
We'll love them forever.
We'll help each other through
And we'll do it together.
Thier memory will live on
They will always be remembered
When we are all reunited
Our hearts will be mended.
such a beautiful little angel
so beautiful,so sad. Me and my partner have a problem with our genes which is why all 3 of our angels went to heaven. Never forgotten ever. sending you so much love and hugs. I'm here if you ever need to talk or chat or just have a moan. love Rachael
I am so very sorry for your loss. What a beautiful little girl. Sleep tight Maisie, sweet dreams.
Thinking you you with love
==================
We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
We think of you in silence, we often speak your name.
All we have are memories, and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part.
God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts.
A million times we've wanted you, a million times we cried.
If love could alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone.
For a part of us went with you, the day god called you home.
Take care X
