Suggestions For Naming A The Day I Lost My Son
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

For those who don’t know, I lost my son to anencephaly earlier this year. The day that we lost him is coming up in a few months, and Wife and I are wanting to come up with a name for the day we lost our son.

Seeing that I am an aethiest, I don’t want to call it Angel-versary.

I am wondering if anyone here has ever experienced loosing a son, and if so, what do you call the day? Or even if you haven’t lost someone, do you have a suggestion?

Thank you

I'm so sorry for your loss. I am a mother of four so I couldn't imagine how you feel.

Thank you so much for your suggestion, Mrluvsjah. I quite like the “spirit baby” part of that. We were really hoping for something that doesn’t make us feel sad. I found a word - vilomah - that is Sanskrit for “against the natural order”.

My husband lost his son to cancer 2 almost 3 years ago and we dubbed the day he passed Xander Day. Although we are both Christian we wanted to make that day a day where we did all of his favorite things. My condolences for you and your family.
