Now as I morn the loss of my 5th grandchild with my daughter I have another angel to hold dear in my heart. 26 years ago, there were no blogs, internet and very little resources available for support. I just happened upon your blog in search of ideas for angel's for us to make as christmas ornaments to help my daughter honor her baby. I am glad I did!<br />I will say to those just going through this pain that it does get easier, it never goes away but it kind of becomes part of you and makes you into a different person. As Emily said, I definitely became "More patient, more perspective and more appreciative"but it took time and patience! Like Emily, I have also done things that I never dreamed I would ever do and it is because of the terrible heartbreak that I endured that lead me in direction. Now, having to go through this with my daughter, my heart is broken once again, but I know she will survive. Blogs like this will help her morn as she finds her way through this haze of heart break. <br />Thank you Emily for the courage to do this!Yiayiachrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938267306952676348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430862611386645227.post-32238009647409458572012-07-29T19:57:28.889-04:002012-07-29T19:57:28.889-04:00This is so beautiful.

And for this amazing website!!<br />I lost my little girl, Lillian Joy on 11-13-09. I went in for an induction (I was 40 weeks 5 days). I had been to the dr for a check up the day before, and all was well. Strong heartbeat, ect.<br />When I got to my room that morning, she was gone. There was no heartbeat, and no explanation other than the fluid had decreased, and she "may have rolled over on the cord and went to sleep."<br />*sigh* it's the hardest thing I have ever been through...and even though I hate that I had to find this site, I am glad that I did... a way to interact with other mothers who have gone through similar heartaches.<br /><br />DesireeLilly's Mom (Desiree)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16862366625483089738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430862611386645227.post-17781063416750180102009-06-12T01:32:12.485-04:002009-06-12T01:32:12.485-04:00Thank you so much for this blog.

Thank you f...What you are doing Emily is beautiful. Thank you for this. My son Harrison passed away on March 11, 2006. He was 10 weeks early yet he lived for 8 days. Every minute of life we had with him was a miracle.<BR/>There is one thing that we can all be thankful for. We have been able to become pregnant and that is something that so many women will never get to experience.<BR/>We will never get over the loss of our children but we will survive. The sharpness of the pain does not always stay around. That too will lighten up. Keep your head up. Others look up to us even though we may not always realize it. How we carry ourselves through our difficult time helps so many others in theirs.<BR/>May God Bless all of you!Courtney Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210152608163385482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430862611386645227.post-59419989082009386422008-12-20T13:33:00.000-05:002008-12-20T13:33:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for this wonderful site!
