Subject: Lauren, I'm glad you found us

I too had my losses before I had any living children and I know the empty feeling. Your grief is so fresh and though I can't promise you it will ever go away, the pain will fade in time. Our churh is so hard to be childless in and worse when no one but you and your DH seem to even think your baby was real because she never took a breath. I remember hiding out in the bathroom during one sacrament meeting, and often I couldn't make myself go at all. Heavenly Father understands your anger and will be there for you. I had a hard time praying or reading my scriptures, but loved to read the hymns, both primary and regular. Where can I turn for peace always lifts my spirits and lets me know I'm not alone.

Please feel free to post about anything here. We understand your pain in a way that most never will. My best advice to you is to hold close to your DH. Men grieve very differently and you will need to stay close to communicate. My DH was my lifesaver.

God Bless you. I'm so sorry you had to be here, but glad of the chance to get to know you.

Love, Lynece

....that we meet in this way. I wish that I could be there with you and find a way to ease your grief. Coming here is a good thing to do for yourself...the ladies here are so wonderful...I wish that I had of had people like them when I suffered my losses. This place is a safe , comfortable nest in the big ol' tree of the church... you can fly over whenever you need and fall into the soft down lined haven that these sweet sisters provide. You can be whoever you are;sad, angry, confused,overwhelmed and even happy. And these ladies are right there crying or laughing with you.
may you feel peace and know that your Heavenly Father loves you and your darling Evelyn Ashley.
love Robin
