How much longer must we wait."<br /><br />I am so sorry Sara. That feeling is lonely and overwhelming and I felt like giving up. I completely understand. Many people judged me for the lack of faith they thought I had. Just made it worse. I still don't understand - <br /><br />You are in my prayers every day.<br />See you soon........Julie DulinDulinfamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07601510613454646829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034044339369402776.post-38700049616455112522009-10-06T07:09:08.664-07:002009-10-06T07:09:08.664-07:00As usual, I related to all that you said. Fall ha...As usual, I related to all that you said. Fall has always been my favorite season, but it is hard this year. The memories of happiness and excitement of Grady this time last year are coming in with the cool air, but this year replaced with sadness and longing for my baby boy. I'm having more bad days than good again, and Gib doesn't understand it. He tries but he just doesn't "get it". We men and women do grieve so differently. I'm amazed at times how so many marriages survive such a loss. My girls' hugs and cute things they say definitely keep me going. <br /><br />I was walking Buddy last night thinking how I would love to meet you soon. How neat it would be if we could plan a real-life meeting this fall... If only it were that easy!<br /><br />I'm so thankful for you in my life. Your friendship has meant, and means, SO much to me! Praying for you that God will hold you close and comfort your broken heart as only He can. <br /><br />Love and hugs!<br />TonyaTonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01573072091399987210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034044339369402776.post-82579351667900825352009-10-05T13:42:21.762-07:002009-10-05T13:42:21.762-07:00It was interesting what you said about wondering i...It was interesting what you said about wondering if you and your husband had even experienced the same loss. Brendan and I recently had a discussion about that. I have been especially emotional lately (especially as Thanksgiving plans are underway already and I so clearly remember wondering if Henry's movements were slowing down on Thanksgiving.) Anyway, Brendan brought up a good point and that is that in some ways, he never met Henry before he died whereas I had known him SO intimately for those nine months he lived in my womb. Not that Brendan never felt his movements or talked to Henry, or saw him dance on the ultrasound. But really, although he lost his son, he hadn't known his son in the same way. And so in many ways, we moms have been given the gift of knowing our babies in this way, but in some ways that gift is what makes the pain so deep. <br />Thank you, Sara, for your openness. We will all pray each other through this difficult season.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537616411264726552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034044339369402776.post-44146571724066899882009-10-05T06:44:17.617-07:002009-10-05T06:44:17.617-07:00I know what you mean, Sara, about the weather brin...I know what you mean, Sara, about the weather bringing you back to last fall and about how Greg can't always relate to what you are going through. It's also true here. Though yesterday, I think Paul was feeling much like I was, but was trying to stifle it. We had a "good" weekend though, redoing the landscaping and then yesterday celebrating Felicity. (Paul has to work on the 6th, so we did it on the weekend.) There were many tears on my part and Ethan's (who hasn't cried about Felicity in a long time.) I hope your kids confide in each other and you how they're feeling. Ethan doesn't really open up and say how he's feeling, I have to read into his behavior to know. I guess maybe that's typical for boys?<br /><br />We did have plans to go to the cities on Tuesday, Felicity's actual birthday and go to a museum with my mom, but the boys are both sick (runny noses, sore throats), so I don't think we're going to be able to do that tomorrow. So, now I'm really glad we had our celebration yesterday. <br /><br />I'm praying for you too, Sara. Thanks for being such a faithful friend with your prayers for me! I am blessed to have you in my life!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343969561417373936noreply@blogger.com
