<t>I am so sorry to hear about your loss. As everyone else has already said, these milestone days are always very difficult, particularly the first ones. I didn't think that my due date would affect me that much, so I didn't prepare myself for it. Big mistake. Emotionally, I would second it to Gabri...

<t>My husband and I were talking about this particular post the other day and he asked me how everyone was making it known to their living children that they do have a brother or sister who is in heaven. So, my bigger question is, is anyone doing anything specific to communicate that? Or are we just...

<t>This second year has been particularly difficult for me, too. I've been more edgy, needy and clingy than I ever thought I could be. The little things tend to set me off and I hang onto that anger for days. I was mad at my MIL the other day because she planted flowers in my front yard, which may h...

Mary,

I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you. I, too, have been there and it isn't easy. My best advice is to not expect too much too soon from yourself and, of course, feel free to vent to us at any time. We are here for you.

I knew it was this week and I knew I would be upset about it, but somehow I didn't make the association between that and my moodiness. <br/> <br/> Now I'...

<t>I think we have to make the hole into a cave... May 19th is my son Gabriel's angelversary, so I completely understand. And just because I have a beautiful, healthy son, does not mean that I am not grieving the loss of the other. Every day is a new day of grief and new challenges. I look at Tommy ...

Anne, just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and Griffin. Be kind to yourself this week and know that we're here for you.

I will be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers today...

I am so sorry to hear about your precious Alfie-James. PE is a horrible disease and has taken many of our children. I hope that you find comfort in the fact that you are not alone and that we are here for you as you grieve.

The tears are streaming down my face as I type this. Thank you so much for sharing that with us- what a wonderful tribute of love for Seth and statement of God's grace. I am confident that you both be reunited with Seth someday- and what an incredible day that will be!
