He will be so very, very proud of you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686966887504657288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-71676740831602467272010-05-13T20:25:46.819-07:002010-05-13T20:25:46.819-07:00I think all you can do is hold onto hope - because...I think all you can do is hold onto hope - because it isn't fair that you should have to be going through this. If it helps, know that there is an entire community out here who cares, and who wants to help you continue to hope. I can imagine those moments are tough...and in a way, sharing them with Collen will be tough, too. <br /><br />There is a Jewish prayer we say when we lose someone...it always brings me a bit of comfort. It is about how both their existence and their loss are always a part of us. I thought I would share it with you:<br /><br />At the rising of the sun and at its going down We remember them.<br /><br />At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter We remember them.<br /><br />At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring We remember them.<br /><br />At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer We remember them.<br /><br />At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn We remember them.<br /><br />At the beginning of the year and when it ends We remember them.<br /><br />As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.<br /><br />When we are weary and in need of strength<br />We remember them.<br /><br />When we are lost and sick at heart We remember them.<br /><br />When we have joy we crave to share We remember them.<br /><br />When we have decisions that are difficult to make We remember them.<br /><br />When we have achievements that are based on theirs We remember them.<br /><br />As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them. <br /><br />- TkeysMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18268690872654358064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-19789933096657339152010-05-13T09:06:20.264-07:002010-05-13T09:06:20.264-07:00Hey Lindsay...

It brea...Dear friend....this just breaks my heart. It breaks my heat because your words so, so clearly paint a picture that I can actually see--that sweet little boy laying in his mama's arms...all right with the world and simply precious in his sleep.<br /><br />Lindsay, I just cannot imagine. <br /><br />And I can't imagine anyone thinking, "But you get to do that with Collen," because that's like saying to someone who has just lost vision in one eye--"But you still have vision in your other eye." <br /><br />Maybe so, but your life, your perspective...your world will NEVER be the same as with both. While you are grateful for what you will have, it doesn't make how precious what you lost any less easy to bear.<br /><br />Praying for you so much, and especially as your heart is heavy now.<br />Much, much love!!!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828552745708177768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-66808179637506983232010-05-12T20:47:56.809-07:002010-05-12T20:47:56.809-07:00I love your posts...never sugar coated and never w...I love your posts...never sugar coated and never without hope. You could have a dozen more children and I guarantee that you will yearn for Ayden still. People tell me all of them time your so strong...I find myself curling my fists into balls...I have never lashed out but, sometimes I would like too. You do not feel strong you feel at any minute your heart might just give out on you. <br />Someone I know has lost 6 children all still born at 38-40 weeks. She has 3 living children. She said having another child is sorta like having an octopus. It's tentacles wrangle in alot of the grief we feel. Yet their will always be those tentacles that get loose and we feel that pain and grief. I don't know it helped me think of my grief that way. All over the place and sometimes it can all be roped in and sometimes not. I hope you have a good nights rest.Crystal Eldredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415914584452317473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-30736192207736637012010-05-12T19:31:51.318-07:002010-05-12T19:31:51.318-07:00a perfect definition....wow...a perfect definition....wow...Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289549963275047672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-53128811797271343682010-05-12T17:35:50.543-07:002010-05-12T17:35:50.543-07:00I have no words :( Only virtual ((hugs)) I pray to...I have no words :( Only virtual ((hugs)) I pray tomorrow is a better day.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008215781734002655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-25888847684727789762010-05-12T17:27:48.603-07:002010-05-12T17:27:48.603-07:00Our oldest son just turned eight.

He was supposed to use that word in a sentence but he didn't know the definition. He thought grief meant some goopy slimy stuff that you fall into and have a hard time getting out of. I thought that was a pretty good definition.Jenny Hintzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542358917581174277noreply@blogger.com
