Thursday night we farewelled our dear daughter Stella Grace.
She had fought right to the last hour when suddenly I just knew she had just had enough.She wanted to be cuddled.
So that is what her Mummy and Daddy did.
Typing this through tears, I just can’t believe I’ll never see her beautiful face again. Her chubby little hands, the one freckle on her right foot, the eyelashes exquisitely long, her golden hair. Her beauty takes my breath away.Stella’s story has not finished, her shining light will shine bright always and forever.
Im going to miss her. Im going to miss her all my life. I am utterly devastated and numb, but we will get though this next step. My daughter taught me what it was to be strong, brave and true.

Let's say goodbye with a smile, dear,
ReplyDeleteJust for a while, dear, we must part.
Don't let the parting upset you,
I'll not forget you, sweetheart.
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
Keep smiling through, just like you always do,
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.
So will you please say hello to the folks that I know,
Tell them I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go,
I was singing this song.
After the rain comes the rainbow,
You'll see the rain go, never fear,
We two can wait for tomorrow,
Goodbye to sorrow, my dear.
Gone for now, sweet Stella, but never forgotten. I always think of this song when I think of my grandparents, so I hope that it helps you Chels when you're missing your gorgeous little girl. One day, you'll meet again.

ReplyDeleteYou are in our thoughts and prayers x
I'm sorry to hear of dear Stella's passing.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I cannot imagine the pain (seems to weak a word) of losing a child, I once found comfort in this poem. The part about the star made me think of your Stella.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a 1,000 winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die.
Sweet Stella will always shine xx
My heart goes out to you and your family - I am so sorry that you have had to farewell your beautiful baby girl. I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through.
ReplyDeleteIn our thoughts xxx
Please note Chelsea that today your story of your amazing daughter and family has made me appreciate my beautiful children so much more, I pray that you find the strength to get through every single day for your darling son Jett .
ReplyDeleteMy love and thoughts go out to you and your family and I truly thank you for sharing your heart wrenching story.
Gemma
Death is nothing at all.
ReplyDeleteI have only slipped away into the next roomn.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are,
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
we enjoyed together.
Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be every the household word that it was.
Let it be spoken without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that is ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was,
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval,
Some where every near, just around the corner.
All Is Well.
We will be praying for you all tomorrow at All Saints' Booval.
ReplyDeleteLittle shoting Star shine bright and fly true as we look at you in the heavens and as you watch over your heart and loving family you are a star forever more time my past but you will still shine bright even when the time comes for all of us to be stars together your the brightest in your mummy and daddy's eyes all all the hearts you have touched with your streanth and love

They will play together in heaven until we are there too.
Stay strong and remember the good times.
xx my thoughts are with you all
I have only just found your page and your blog. I could never fully comprehend the raw emotions, the highs, the lows, the tears, the laughs, the panicing, the grattitude you have endured over the past 7 months.
ReplyDeleteYou are one brave women to be fighting the fight alongside your gorgeous angel! Stella would be so proud of you Chels. You will always be her mum, no matter where she is, YOU are her mother and she loves you!
I hope you have the farewell she deserves and that everyone of us reading this heartbreaking post tonight goes and gives our children a cuddle for Stella.
Here is a poem that I ALWAYS turn to, and re-reading it, just sings of you and Stella:
I carry your heart with me: By e.e.cummings
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
I am so sorry for the loss of brave, beautiful Stella. Love and strength to you and your family xx
ReplyDeleteRemember the good times. Our love and prayers for u and your family. God bless Stella grace. All our love Larissa, Andrew, Stella and Chloe Morrison

ReplyDeleteMy sister's daughter was born 12 weeks ago seizureing and was on life support for 3 weeks. They have tested for everything and have no answers. I think some children are too perfect for this world.
Take strength from the love you shared.
I couldnt even begin to imagine what you are going through youself, your family and Stella are an exceptionally strong and brave family I certainly hope and pray that both your beautiful daughter and her condition will not go un noticed and will gladly spread the...... although she was only here a short time she has touched many people and Im sure has given you a an endless amount of memories..... RIP little Stella and deepest sympathy to you and your family....
ReplyDeleteThis poem was used at a friends daughters funeral I thought I'd pass it on
God made a sweet child
a child who never grew old
He made a smile of sunshine
He molded a heart of pure gold.
He made that child as close to an angel
as anyone ever could be
God made a Sweet Child
and He gave that dear child to me
Then God saw His wonderful creation
growing very tired and weak
so He wrapped the child in His loving arms
and said, "You my child I keep"
But now my Sweet Child is an angel
Free from hurt and pain
I'll love you forever, until we meet again
So many times I have missed you
So many times I have cried
If all my love could have saved you
Sweet Child you never would have died.
sorry the above anonymous comment was mine didnt mean to put it as that

Im so very sorry for your families loss. & that you should never have had to go through this pain of loosing your child
Xox
Love and thoughts with you and your family, for the loss of your little star! May she keep shining from above x
ReplyDeletesending lots of love your way at this bad time, and may you see her face again one day, i am sure she is still around you keeping a watchful eye and her mummy, daddy and brother...xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteOh Chels, you dont know me and I dont know you but my heart has broken for you. As a mother myself I cry just thinking about something happening to my babies, but to actually lose them, I am gutted for you,I would like to say if you need anything i would love to help you but my guess is the only thing you need right now is the one thing that isn't possible. I will say many prayers for you, Scott and jett but especially your little star Stella, a beautiful, gorgeous angel taken far, far to early. May your friends and family carry you through this unimaginably sad time and may Stella rest peacefully until you see her again xoxo
ReplyDeleteChels I am so very sorry to hear this news. I only came across your blog a few days ago, and to hear this now is heartbreaking. 17 months ago I held my 5 week old daughter in my arms when she passed away from mito disease. Your Stella was in the right place, being cuddled by her mummy. It is so utterly tragic that babies can be taken from us from such a terrible disease, and it really seems so pointless to me as to why this disease exists and why they are taken so young. I hope you can take comfort from your beautiful memories you had with her, and knowing you did the best for her. She knows you were there for her and that she was very loved. I dont know what your beliefs are, but I have been told by many people that babies are angels and they choose us to be their parents. When they go, they watch over us and will be waiting for us one day when we see them again. I believe we really are lucky in the sense that we held a real angel in our arms (it does warm my heart to think that). Even though she is gone from this earth, she will always be with you and a part of you. It is a very difficult time, and I hope you are able to surround yourself with supportive people. If you would like to contact me I am Marina Margarian on facebook (I have a description in my profile about my angel baby as there are a few people with the same name) and my email is info@babyandinfantloss.com - I am in Sydney and set up this site in memory of my daughter Sophie, another mito baby taken much too soon. Sending you some strength to get through this and just know you are not alone, and your beautiful Stella is now an angel, resting peacefully and with you forever xxxx
ReplyDeleteRest In Peace Little Stella be with the Angel's now xx
ReplyDeleteSending lots of love to your beautiful Family, I couldn't even imagine how hard this must be for you all xoxox
I'm so sorry for your family's loss, my thoughts and deepest sympathies goes out to every that she has touched.
ReplyDeleteFly free Stella <3
I only just found this site about a week ago. I am so utterly sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you and your family. Life can be so cruel at times. You are an amazing person and mother, so much strength and courage to write your incredible story. Your GORGEOUS Stella is absolutely amazing, what a brave and beautiful little girl. May her little soul rest in peace now and may she be given the most colourful wings up in heaven so she can fly with all the angels.....xxxxKate
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry to hear of your loss.. You will one day meet again, until then she will be looking down on you from the fluffy clouds :) she is at peace and would very much want you to enjoy your time on earth while you are here. Live your life for stella xxx
ReplyDeleteStella, you will be so missed, beautiful baby girl <3 Your life was a true blessing to your family, and your memory will continue to be a blessing. Thank you for making this world a brighter place xox
ReplyDeleteChels, you are such a brilliant and inspiring mother. You created such a precious little girl and she was strong because of you, and you strong because of her. I will be there on Tuesday to remember your little star xox
All my love, Michelle xox
Chels;
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since I knew you.
Now my heart will forever think of you.
Look at how many people care for you and your family, such kind words you envoke.
I am another person who is astounded your strength.
Your daughter, Stella will be missed, but forever with you. Live for her.
Love will get you through this.
So, sending you love.
Megan & Chris X
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl; can never even begin to imagine your pain but hope that her star still burns bright above you and guides you to peace again some day xx
ReplyDeleteSo so sad to hear that Stella passed away on Thursday. I hope one day when the deep sadness has passed that you will continue to shine as bright as your little girl obviously did.
ReplyDeleteBig hug
Dawn x
You are a very strong, brave and loving mother. Stella was lucky to have you as you were to have her. The pain will ease of her loss over time and the memories of her and love you have for her will live on forever. x
ReplyDeleteI cannot stop crying.... this brought so many tears and sad emotiong.. i am deeply saddened by this...................
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will be ok and know that she is shining down on you - as that's what Angels do.. I guess God just missed his angel and wanted her next to him looking down on you
Thoughts, prayers, hugs and kisses,
Mae
I am so very sorry for your loss, thankyou for sharing your journey and your baby girl with all of us. Stella, you & your family are in the hearts of everyone who has read this blog. R.I.P. Stella xx
ReplyDeletesending your family love and strength... am so very sorry for your loss xxx
ReplyDeleteI feel such sadness, but your courage overwhelms me more! You are experiencing such an unmeasurable amount of pain, but you choose to use it in the most positive, useful way. I had never even heard these words before. But now I am aware! Though Stella has left us earthside, she is going on to do bigger and better things somewhere else. You were given this angel because she had a job to do and you were able to nurture that! You, Stella's dad and Jett are strong individuals who have a bigger purpose in life. My heart felt thanks for sharing your journey. Belinda
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. Thank you for sharing your experience of her journey with us. Thinking of you. RIP Stella xxxx
ReplyDeleteHow to start...I have never met you and felt such a strong desire to let you know how heartbroken i am after reading your blog via FB that i signed up to Blogger - i want to help in anyway that i can with your quest to inform people about this debilitating disease that took gorgeous little Stella's life... When you are ready or if anyone reading this knows, please let me know how i and the people in my life can help you raise awareness - I have a daughter the same age as Stella almost to the day and am watching her just feeling so blessed and i thank you for reminding us how lucky we are to simply have our health. I am sending ALL the positivity i have in me to you today and i hope that i can help you in some way in the future when you are ready. My thoughts and prayers are with your and your loved ones at this very difficult time. Kate
ReplyDeleteI'm so devastated for you and your beautiful family. Thinking of you all in this difficult time xx
ReplyDeleteHeartbreaking. Take comfort in eternal life and the knowledge that you will get to hold her once again.
ReplyDeleteSending you all my deepest sympathies for the loss of your beautiful daughter. xoxox
ReplyDeleteRIP beautiful Stella
ReplyDeleteI cannot make it to your service but i made a beautiful star balloon for you, and have passed it on to bianca at peekaboo
Shine bright
I don't know you, but wanted to offer some words during this painful time ....
ReplyDeleteBaby Stella,
We are gifted every so often
with love that we can hear
when an angel walks upon the earth
and gently whispers in our ear.
Those of you who've watched her spirit
soaring while delicate wings still fly
are left sighing while your tear filled eyes
witness strength beyond the sky.
God Bless,
from Cathy
Thankyou so much for sharing your story- you have no idea how Stella and your family have touched my life. I am utterly heartbroken for you and can only imagine the pain and loss you feel. It's not fair.
ReplyDeleteI believe our loved ones are always with us. I hope you always feel the warmth and love of your precious daughter around you. I wish you much strength and peace for the future.
xx Rachael
Chelsea, I'm not sure there is much more I can say than what I've said already over the course of these last few months. Your strength and courage has humbled and amazed me, Stella was so very lucky to have you as her mummy.
ReplyDeleteRest easy baby girl, always in our hearts xxx
You are an amazing family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss.
She really was sent to earth to show what real beauty and bravery is.

Your daughter will always be with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I will definitely support this cause in the future.
Your incredibly strong to be able to share your story, i'm blubbering just reading it. I have a 13month old son and could not imagine having to say goodbye.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I came across your blog via a facebook link and am so glad that I had the opportunity to read your story. My heart is overwhelmed with sadness for you. Thank you for being so brave to write about your journey with Stella. I fell in love with your beautiful little girl just by reading the blogs and looking into those beautiful big eyes. There was wisdom there way beyond her little years. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you must be going through but hopefully one day little by little your heart will start to mend. Your beautiful son Jett is a very lucky boy to have such wonderful loving parents who have so much love to give. How wonderful that you were both able to be there with her cuddling her so that she could pass in peace and surrounded by love. Rest in Peace Stella. As your Mum said, you are a shining star.
ReplyDeleteChelsea, I am so terribly sorry that you have had to farewell your baby Stella. I her short life she has shown such enormous courage and she has been surrounded by so much love. I am heartbroken for you. My thoughts are with you all, Sophie xx

Life isnt fair sometimes and it is just so painful! I have read your blog and wish you and your family peace and good health. Your little one has left a legacy, one she never knew even existed and for that you should be eternally proud x
ReplyDeleteDear Chelsea,
ReplyDeleteI only read your blog for the first time last week and it left me heart broken. Today I saw your sad news. I will look for the new star in heaven tonight and say a prayer for your beautiful daughter.
Dear Chels, first of all I just want to say how sorry I am you have lost your beautiful daughter. I can't tell you how much I have cried reading Stella's story. She was the most beautiful little girl. I have a little girl myself, 14 months old and I will never take her for guaranteed. This is so devastating and so unfair. I wish there was something to do.
ReplyDeleteLots of hugs
Sara
Dear Chels, I don't know you personally, but I will be thinking of you all & beautiful Stella Grace this Christmas. Wishing you & your family love & strength to make it through this difficult time ♥ Love Lisa Mangan & family.

ReplyDeleteJessie Dog was my childhood dog's name. It's exactly what we called her. I still have her collar around my bed post. I was bawling my eyes out reading this post. Then I looked at the photo of the service advert and cried a whole lot more. If it were me I have no idea how I would ever be able to deal with something like that.
ReplyDeleteAll my best wishes and love from an anonymous stranger.
