I live in the Ft Lauderdale (broward county) area.

I lost my daughter, June 1, 2009, due to severe preeclampsia. She was born April 27, 2009, 28 w 1 d, 1 lb 12 oz. Beautiful beautiful girlie, I love her & miss her so much. She also had IUGR as well. I believe if she hadn't had that she would have survived. She lived for 35 days, and passed away June 1, 2009.

Hi Laura,
I am sorry for the loss of your daughter Mallory. I also lost my first child, Kaitlyn. If you would like to contact me I live in Fort Myers. My email is tevans542@earhtlink.net I hope to hear from you.

Hi Laura -

I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious Mallory. It is truly a devastating and life changing experience. I too lost our first daughter so I'm another member who has walked in your shoes. Jaime emailed me with your post because I also live in south Florida. We're in Naples, where are you?

Please email me directly at carol@preeclampsia.org and we can talk further. I'd also be happy to talk to you over the phone. I know how surreal this all seems at the moment. It does help to talk with others who've already been there.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Carol

Hi Laura,

I'm so so sorry about your loss. It is so hard. We lost our daughter two years ago. She was born at 27 weeks due to severe PE and she lived for 8 days. I totally can empathize with your pain right now. [:(] I'm so sorry... ((HUGS))

I don't know if there are active members in south Florida right now or not. Carol Hamilton is our Group Coordinator. I will email her and ask her to contact you. And now that I think about it - she lives in South Florida!

I hope you will visit the Grief and Loss section of the Forum. There are a lot of great people on this site that will support you and love you during this time of grief.

Please let me know if I can do anything. I'm happy to mail you a brochure on Preeclampsia if that would be helpful. Just email your address to me at jaime@preeclampsia.org

Sending lots of prayers and comforting thoughts your way,
