I recently lost my child and would love to sing in Turkish to my child,

who is in Heaven now. Do you have any suggestions?

I understand this is a sad time for both you and your husband . I would suggest  perhaps both of you could pray together if you belong to a religion. If not perhaps you could just sing comfortably in the language you know as I am sure this is what you would of done if your pregnacy had continued.

Kocam en iyisidir. çok destekleyici.

I just don´t have enough time to really

search for songs about child loss. 

I have to sing in Turkish because my child is

Turkish.

Do you mean 1/2 Turkish?

You will not find any songs about misscarriage in Turkish because most of the time you will find that other Turkish woman and possibly your Turkish extended family will consider it possible either the will of God or will blame you for not looking after yourself( which in my opinion is incorrect). As I said I understand this is a sad time for you but if there has not been a funeral for a body it is considered the work of God. I did find ancient customs of loss of a child and the  mother may sing in her own words and must compose the song herself. Which would accompany screaming , beating ones chest and scratching ones face. This is usually done very near to the funeral and buriel.

I hope you find some peace and comfort with your extended Turkish family. Is it possible you can ask your husband ?/boyfriend/father of the child about his traditions. If there is none than as I suggested before sing in your native language as you carried the baby so it is also half of you and I think that may give you some peace.

the item below is for a death of a person who took air and breathed. I can not locate anything regarding a fetis.

4.  Islamic Traditions

Traditions differ in every country and the Turkish interpretation of Islam is in some ways different than those in other Arabic countries. These comments are basically relevant for Turkish culture:

  1. Death is considered an act of God is not questioned.  Faithful followers believe that all the events in the life-course of an individual, including the time and type of death, are pre-written by God.
  2. People in grief are encouraged to show their feelings openly.  They are encouraged to cry loudly as it is believed that crying cleans the soul.  Any expression of rebellion against God´s decision to take a person away from her/his dear ones is considered a sin.
  3. Friends visit the house of the deceased and talk with the family members, encouraging them to describe how the death occurred, what they were doing at the time of death, etc.
  4. For seven days, the family members are never left alone.  Friends and neighbors bring food, as no cooking is supposed to be done in a funeral home during those seven days.
  5. Traditionally, no television, radio or any musical devices would be allowed for 40 days but this practice has waned in recent years.
  6. There is a religious prayer at the 40th and another at the 52nd day after the death.
  7. Muslims are very sensitive to where their beloved ones are buried. They definitely want them buried in a cemetery for Muslims. They also want the funeral prayers to be led by a Muslim, not by a rabbi or a Christian priest.
  8. A special ceremony and prayers accompany the funeral. The body is buried without the coffin and wrapped in white clothes, as it is believed that the body should touch the earth.
  9. The body must be washed/bathed with certain rituals before the funeral ceremony begins. This usually takes place at either a special section of the mosque or in the morgue of the hospital.  It is very upsetting when a body is buried without being washed.
  10. When meeting with someone who has lost a relative, conversations start by saying: "May you be alive and May God´s blessings be on him/her - the deceased."

Quoting Reiki Luce

Dear Mother of child in heaven...

over 37 years ago I lost my first son at birth.

It is a pain that I wish on no one. Yet we cannot question, nor punish ourselves.

We must take the very short existence of our dear ones and celebrate how much he/she has taught us to see the Glory of Life and the Heavenly Father who creates this Universe anew each moment.

may you be blessed with more beautiful children, and teach them that a special angel preceded them to make you learn how to love them even more than Life itself.

amen.

 

This is true. To see the heartbeat of my child, to feel with each wind

breeze the joy that was to come...it tears you up inside. 

Thank you for your words. I´ve been just holding onto anything,

Turkish is my old obsession. I´m just trying to make a purpose here when my real purpose has left...
