Teresa Maria, Requiescat in Pace
Posted by divinemercy on Oct 6th, 2009
On September 25, 2009, I gave birth to my daughter, Teresa Maria, stillborn. I was 6 months along. Please pray for me and my family. She leaves behind three siblings, while joining three already in heaven.
Teresa Maria, pray for us.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother: to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

I’ve just found your blog (from your comment on Faith and Family) and it’s a gem.
I have prayed for you and will pray again.
My daughter Olivia was stillborn at term in September 2007, she had a twin, Honor, who lived and is a cherubic two year old now.
A couple of weeks ago I gave birth to a daughter again, thanks be to God. She is a gift from heaven.
But I miss Olivia. When I held her I felt the same powerful rush of awe and love that I felt with all my living children. It’s a very sorrowful thing to be so in love with a baby that you have to let go.
But I know where she is. I thank God for my faith.
It makes my heart ache to hear about other mothers losing their babies. I feel a special sisterly affection for them through this shared sorrow.
I will certainly continue to pray for you, for your comfort and peace and a special closeness to the God who really does gives us beauty for ashes.
