I'm sorry, you and your husband had to make that decision it must have been terribly hard for you.
As you have no face or voice, I have no first words, steps, first day of school as you can see I'm still mourning the loss of my 11 week old son who passed away November 17, 1996. Yes, I'm an 8 year griever as well, I may never stop. It's unhealthy but unless a person has experienced what we have on this forum, they will never know. I pray to God they never do.
God Bless You!
