They have a blog in which they have been very open with their grieving. www.babycrouch.blogspot.com. You will have to search the archives a little to get back to those days. But I hope it will help you. I have been encouraged by them. <BR/><BR/>Also Molly Piper has a blog (John Piper's D-in-law) she lost her baby girl last year too. www.thepipers.wordpress.com<BR/><BR/>And another Karen Kimmons www.kimmons.blogspot.com. She lost her baby in June of last year. This post (http://kimmons.blogspot.com/2007/06/thoughts-on-ella.html) in particular, gives an uplifting perspective to her loss.<BR/><BR/>I hope the stories of these three ladies will encourage you in this time. I don't know you but I have prayed for you and cried for you and your family. Hang in there! God is good! And Tres is forever with His Heavenly Father, worshipping and praising. He never had to taste spiritual death and the hardship in this life.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641621372144847759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348227215962540982.post-26816634964368103712008-07-06T00:18:00.000-05:002008-07-06T00:18:00.000-05:00Wow,as I read your post i felt like I was reading ...Wow,as I read your post i felt like I was reading my own post. I remember in the weeks after Samuel passed that I felt like I was going to literally die because the pain was too great. My chest would ache, my heart hurt so bad because I wanted my baby back. Sweetie, that immediate pain will lessen eventually, but will not ever go away completely.<BR/><BR/>I miss Samuel as much today as I did the day he passed away in my arms. But, I can smile now when I think about him. I cry too, but I smile. And I laugh at how he used to try to pull those damn wires off of him. But I still mourn him,<BR/><BR/>I do hope you are able to find some relaxation on your vacation. I am here for you - you know where to find me. You have become a dear friend, even though we haven't "met". Take care...Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174475978628574230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348227215962540982.post-44051649221580308672008-07-05T23:55:00.000-05:002008-07-05T23:55:00.000-05:00Oh, (((((Jessica))))).

I just want you to know that it does get easier. It will never go away completely, and I for one don't want it to. I want to miss her, to mourn her. But it does get easier with time, and happiness will creep back into your life. Jesus Christ's JOY will return to take it's rightful place in your life. Right now, just take it one day at a time, and know that we, along with a lot of other people that love you, are also mourning the loss of your precious baby boy and praying for you without ceasing. I love you, dear friend! Remember to breathe!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254691808672568710noreply@blogger.com
