Most of you know that I lost my daughter.
I often pretend it doesn't still hurt; that my gut doesn't still suck air over the loss of her.
But I have to say, cause it's not okay to cry here...that I hurt so much.
I know that she is well now. She was so sick then.
I let her go when the doctors said I was prolonging her death...not her life.
As a Christian, I didn't know what to do. After praying, and seeking counsel--I let her go.
Sydney Rachael died in my arms at 7 months 4 days old ten years ago tomorrow. I can't wait to see her again.
Syd, tears roll down my cheeks, sown in grief over missing you.
If you can hear me, know that I love you, and I pray every day for the grace to get by until the day that I can hold you again.

when I was reading another conversation recently I thought, if they only knew, if they only had a clue...but they didnt and they dont.
I wish I could bring the comfort only He can, but lend you a great big cyber shoulder ((((hugs))))

Death leaves both the dead and the living speechless...
My condolences...
She hears you, as you feel her. And it's perfectly OK to cry here. It really is. Sometimes I think that's why we are all here. I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Oh my gosh I had no idea!!! Your faith and hope in Christ is amazing. Sending you hugs. I am sure she was and is beautiful and sweet. Blessings
I will squeeze my sons tight for your little angel Sydney.Thank you for sharing her with us here.
I'll keep you in my thoughts and heart. My condolences.
Never be afraid to cry, it shows that you loved her very much.
Remember God crys every time you do, He knows what you are going through.
I am so sorry for your loss
In Christs Love

A loss of a child is a painful thing. My mother grieves everyday for my sister who passed away at 16 two years ago.
My heart hurts for you.
This stings my heart and my tear ducts to read. I wish I had some words that weren't cliche to offer comfort. I wish I could just hug you through tonight. Since I don't, and I can't, know that I am sending some powerfully loving thoughts your way.
So sorry to hear about your loss....thanks for your comments, yes mercy did come running for us, I am glad you are blessed by that song too!

She couldn't have been blessed with a more amazing mother. And we are all blessed that you share little glimpses of her with us. Sending you long-distance love.
Thinking of you, my dear.
A prayer for a friend who is going through pain today
What a beautiful angel. xoxo
Much, much love and prayer to you. I simply can't imagine the grief and feelings you are dealing with.
I'm so sorry.
It is so true it leaves one shaken to lose a child. The remembrance hurts at times. Life goes on, but there is emptiness. May God fill your heart with His love, today. Some day you will see your daughter again. Blessings. al
