I can't say that I completely understand because I have never had to endure the pain of losing a child, but I can say that as a mom, you have truly inspired me and I strive to be as strong of a woman to my children as you are to each of yours. Thank you for being you, and only you.

So, for that, thank you! =)<br />For what you're going through - I can only say that you are always in my prayers - I think of you often. I won't pretend to even remotely grasp what you're going through ... but HE can & you know HE does. I'll be praying for your heart to be encouraged & for strength & endurance for you! <br />With love ~ <br />LeliaLeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585301160629858875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99400039966124695.post-26718822341815874682011-05-02T01:13:55.189-04:002011-05-02T01:13:55.189-04:00You are you.

Being open and honest and grieving like a loving Mama does is a sign of health. <br /><br />Keep being Rachel's Mama. Keep being Stacey. Don't be anyone else. You're on the right path, with your eyes on Jesus. <br /><br />:hug:Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035184073735513057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99400039966124695.post-21945667673170316702011-05-01T23:56:31.698-04:002011-05-01T23:56:31.698-04:00Stacy,
I wish I lived closer cause you could come ...Stacy,<br />I wish I lived closer cause you could come talk to me anytime :-) You still can now, but it would be nicer if it were in person. I have realized after 15 months that the only people who I can talk to are my Moms that have also lost a baby and understand the depth of our pain. I have been hurt so badly by things people have said. I am sorry you are going through this and people don't think before they speak. I have had many awkward moments with people and friends too when I bring up how I am really feeling or even bringing cayden up at all. I never once thought you were suicidal after reading your post last night. You are a grieving Mama! I long for Heaven as well...you are not alone in any of this!! Sending big hugs your way and praying for you!! I love you <3Chrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626666735606164228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99400039966124695.post-66715210168127952152011-05-01T23:08:19.685-04:002011-05-01T23:08:19.685-04:00Stacey,

It also speaks very loudly of ignorance.<br />An educated person would know that the norm for depression is withdrawal and secrecy... It is most certainly not blogging your feelings openly and honestly. <br />When you announced your newest, expected Aube, I assumed that we would be seeing blogs like these. I thought, "Wow! This has got to be a tumultuous journey that is coming." I thought, if it were me, I would feel as though I was taking away from Baby Aube by grieving for Rachel, and taking away from Rachel if I took joy in Baby Aube. It seemed to me that this would be a great internal struggle.<br />I think that it's amazing that you can share these feelings with us. I think it's important for us to know the struggle. It shows just how great of a mamma you are. I can only aspire to be the kind of mother you are.<br />You keep doing what you're doing. You get by and through each day the best way you know how. <br />You and Rachel Alice are truly inspirations. Truly. Thank you for allowing myself and others to take this journey with you.<br />VaNessaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99400039966124695.post-79476448575778400182011-05-01T22:26:40.337-04:002011-05-01T22:26:40.337-04:00Stacey, I love the worship song you put on there t...Stacey, I love the worship song you put on there tonight! What beautiful words. Again, I don't think the people who are saying these things to you have a clue what it is like to lose your precious baby whom you longed for, hoped for, had dreams for, and then had to let go of all of that. A new baby won't replace that. I think it will bring some type of healing to your broken heart, but never will the hurt and pain be gone fully this side of heaven. I also don't think you need counseling...you have blogging and you don't sound depressed or suicidal to me. You sound like a hormonal, grieving momma who has faced more than most in one short year! I have been there and it isn't an easy road and I think you are doing amazing! Keep on following your heart in all of this and mostly hold tight to the one who can lift you up through these dark, frustrating, grief-filled days! <br /><br />Praying for you tonight!!<br />Carrie<br />I Peter 5:7~"Cast all your cares on Him for He cares for you." <br />Psalm 23:1a~"The Lord is my Shepherd."(what a beautiful thought)Lajeunesse Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529083021903048079noreply@blogger.com
