I followed a blog called "Dear Elena" (I'm sorry I don't know how to link and all that stuff but I'm sure you'll find it if you google it). It is about a father who lost his little girl suddenly and the pain he went through it all. Maybe it will help to read from the perspective of someone who's been there. I just want to help a little. God bless you both. I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I followed a blog called “Dear Elena” (I’m sorry I don’t know how to link and all that stuff but I’m sure you’ll find it if you google it).

Who would NOT want to die as a way of finding respite from the sheer horror of it? But there is a huge difference, surely, between wanting respite from the pain, and intending self-destruction, and a system that cannot differentiate between the two fails both. It is indeed a measure of your strength that you could take something positive from it. My daughter, when she was younger, was very sick. It seemed to me for a long time that she had a very frail hold on life (unlike your Maddie) and I lived in fear of losing her. That time and its horrors passed. This time, for you, will eventually pass, and you will be wiser and stronger. I don't know how you get throught the next few months to the place where the pain is more manageable, but I hope you both find a way of hanging on.

Mike/Heather, What happened to Mike is not bad at all. I do say, yes watch what you say in doctor's offices and emergency rooms. I'm sorry for your difficult experience on the psychiatric ward. I've been there myself, when I lost my 28 week baby boy 36 years ago, and things were way worse back then than they are now. I've been in counseling for depression a number of times, and as recently as 2 years ago when my mom died and 4 years prior when my dad died! I'm sorry you had to go through that experience. However, I know it will make you stronger. Today, in this economy in this 21st century moment, I discovered I need God like never before. I hope that happens for you two also. It might not be a bad idea for you and Heather to go get grief counseling. There is nothing wrong with that at all. I continue to send my love and prayers from Michigan, another hard-hit state like California. I'm sorry for your difficulties, I'm very sorry you lost your precious little girl. I thank you for sharing her with the world. Please know that Maddie, even though she does belong with you and Heather, IS very happy in Heaven. There are millions of little kids in heaven due to abortion, miscarriage, other infant deaths. I continue to pray for you and your family and your situation. PUSH: Pray Until Something Happens.

Mike/Heather,

I so wish I could hug you and Heather in person. You are both seriously amazing. I can't imagine going through this, and it is so brave of you to be sharing it. XOXO. Virtual hugs suck.
