*~Tina~* Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 My SonIL's sister gave birth to tripletts at 24 weeks this past Friday, one did not make it and the other two are in NICU. The service for the baby girl is Thursday and I need a few songs for the funeral so I can put together a CD. I have Fly by Celine Dion. If you know others that are fitting, please share. Also please keep the entire family in your prayers. Mom is young, this was her first pregnancy...and everyone is grieving :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpoy85 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 the Untitled Hymn by Chris Rice. (I think) this is a good song, makes me cry. :grouphug: for the family. I dont know many songs, but if you wanted gift/memory items, Etsy is a good option. They have things from cards to memory boxes, etc. I do make cards for free for moms who have lost a baby, ill send you a PM, but i dont mind making one. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegoat Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I think Abide with Me is a great comforting funeral hymn for any age. One hymn I like for children is "God sees the little sparrow fall". It is meant for children to sing, but I think it could work really well for a child's funeral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancer67 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) I am so very sorry. I lost my twin baby girl at birth. It is so hard to have survivors as people do not know what to say. I will always be a mother to twin girls. Just as she will always be a mother to triplets. We had a funeral. We played One Moment More by Mindy Smith. :grouphug: ETA: When she is up to it, have her get in touch with Jean at CLIMB(Center for loss in Multiple Births)http://www.climb-support.org/ This is a wonderful support group for those who have lost one/two/three etc or all of their multiples. Jean was a godsend to me and so were those people on the forums. Edited August 7, 2012 by dancer67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abigail4476 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) "Held" by Natalie Grant. Lyrics Two months is too little They let him go They had no sudden healing To think that providence Would take a child from his mother While she prays, is appalling Who told us we'd be rescued What has changed and Why should we be saved from nightmares Were asking why this happens to us Who have died to live, it's unfair This is what it means to be held How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive This is what it is to be loved and to know That the promise was that when everything fell We'd be held This hand is bitterness We want to taste it and Let the hatred numb our sorrows The wise hand opens slowly To lilies of the valley and tomorrow This is what it means to be held How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive This is what it is to be loved and to know That the promise was that when everything fell We'd be held If hope if born of suffering If this is only the beginning Can we not wait, for one hour Watching for our savior This is what it means to be held How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive This is what it is to be loved and to know That the promise was that when everything fell We'd be held.

Carol in Cal. Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Here are the words to the one I suggested: "I Know that My Redeemer Lives" by Samuel Medley, 1738-1799 1. I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever-living Head. 2. He lives triumphant from the grave, He lives eternally to save, He lives all-glorious in the sky, He lives exalted there on high. 3. He lives to bless me with His love, He lives to plead for me above. He lives my hungry soul to feed, He lives to help in time of need. 4. He lives to grant me rich supply, He lives to guide me with His eye, He lives to comfort me when faint, He lives to hear my soul's complaint. 5. He lives to silence all my fears, He lives to wipe away my tears He lives to calm my troubled heart, He lives all blessings to impart. 6. He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly Friend, He lives and loves me to the end; He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing; He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King. 7. He lives and grants me daily breath; He lives, and I shall conquer death: He lives my mansion to prepare; He Iives to bring me safely there. 8. He lives, all glory to His name! He lives, my Jesus, still the same. Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives, "I know that my Redeemer lives!"

kolamum Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Hello Good-Bye by Michael W. Smith. It was written for the loss of an infant. It's always made me cry, even more so after losing our own. ETA: Here's the Lyrics: Where's the Navigator of your destiny? Where is the Dealer of this hand? Who can explain life and its brevity? 'Cause there is nothing here that I can understand You and I have barely met And I just don't want to let go of you yet Noah, hello, good-bye I'll see you on the other side Noah, sweet child of mine I'll see you on the other side And so I hold your tiny hand in mine For the hardest thing I've ever had to face Heaven calls for you before it calls for me When you get there save me a place A place where I can share your smile And I can hold you for more than just awhile Noah, hello, good-bye I'll see you on the other side Noah, sweet child of mine I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on I'll see you on I'll see you on I'll see you on I'll see you on the other side Noah, hello, good-bye I'll see you on the other side Noah, sweet child of mine I'll see you on the other side Oh, Noah, hello, good-bye I'll see you on the other side Oh, Noah, sweet child of mine I'll see you on the other side On the other side Noah is the name of the baby the song was written for.

mom2scouts Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) With Hope Lyrics Steven Curtis Chapman This is not at all how We thought it was supposed to be We had so many plans for you We had so many dreams And now you've gone away And left us with the memories of your smile And nothing we can say And nothing we can do Can take away the pain The pain of losing you, but ... We can cry with hope We can say goodbye with hope 'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no And we can grieve with hope 'Cause we believe with hope (There's a place by God's grace) There's a place where we'll see your face again We'll see your face again And never have I known Anything so hard to understand And never have I questioned more The wisdom of God's plan But through the cloud of tears I see the Father's smile and say well done And I imagine you Where you wanted most to be Seeing all your dreams come true 'Cause now you're home And now you're free, and ... We have this hope as an anchor 'Cause we believe that everything God promised us is true, so ... So we can cry with hope And say goodbye with hope We wait with hope And we ache with hope We hold on with hope We let go with hope I know this is probably too late, but maybe someone else can use it. It always reminds me of my babies. Edited August 9, 2012 by mom2scouts Add something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
