		<description>I&#039;m glad you don&#039;t regret being there, because I imagine that is best in the long run, like you say.

I hope you get sideswiped less and less as time goes by, and instead get pleasantly visited by all the happy memories.

		<description>My son had a stroke 3 1/2 years ago. I was with him when it happened. I held his head, helplessly, while we waited for the ambulance and he puked green bile. I&#039;m usually able to suppress it, but last night for no good reason, before bed,  I couldn&#039;t get the image out of my head.

I know what you&#039;re going through.

		<description>I can&#039;t even imagine where your thoughts take you. The confusion, the disbelief. I&#039;m so very sorry that you have to live with those images in your head. God Bless your sweet little heart. I just adore you and your honesty, your real-ness. You are amazing.

		<description>Just wanted to comment on this.  The hardest part of life is living without those who have gone before us.  Gosh, but that is really so true!  It&#039;s especially true when we are talking about our child.  I just can&#039;t imagine anything harder than having to live out my life without one of my children.  

And I go to church.  My family is Catholic, and there is a time during our mass where they pray for those who have gone before us....and ever since April when I learned of Maddie, I have always thought of and prayed for Maddie during this time.  Then soon after that, they ask us for our own intentions, and that is when I pray for you and Mike.  I am quite sure that there are hundreds of others out there who do the very same thing (include Maddie in their thoughts and prayers almost daily)  Your sweet girl has touched us all so much.  So very much.

I am a believer.  I know without a doubt that we are united with our loved ones on the day that we pass.  The bonds that we have with our children are not just earthly bonds.  They are bonds that tie our souls together.  Our souls.  Souls live on forever.

I visit your blog everyday.  I don&#039;t comment all the time because most days I am truly at a loss for words, and I know there is nothing I can say that will help.

But if it eases your pain just a fraction of a bit, I really need to tell you that you will be with Maddie again one day.  I just want you to believe that, too.  She is tied to your soul.  You can feel her.  You will always feel her.  And you&#039;ll see her again one day.

		<description>Don&#039;t beat yourself up over the grief you are dealing with.  I truly believe it takes a long time to process all of it and it just comes to us in bits and pieces.  We would melt into the ground if we felt it all at once.  This song has helped me more than I can explain.  Hope you have time to listen to it.  Prayers for you and yours.....

		<description>You are living a nightmare. Hands down every mother&#039;s worst nightmare. Before kids I&#039;d have that morbid talk with my husband about what I would do if I had to choose between him and our first baby (before she was born)...

I was always like &quot;I&#039;d choose you...the love of my life, because without you there would be no baby and there would be no future babies. I couldn&#039;t live without you&quot; 

How pitifully and stupidly naive I was.

I&#039;m a mom now...and I would kill him to keep my babies alive.

I would sacrifice my husband to avoid experiencing what you&#039;re experiencing. 

I&#039;m reduced to tears and sobbing just thinking about what this is doing to you...how you must ache for her. I&#039;m so sorry Heather.</description>

		<description>you&#039;re not alone. 

it&#039;s a completely different situation but i understand. 

and sometimes, it&#039;s hard. and sometimes, it sucks ass. and sometimes, sometimes you just want to crawl underneath the covers and just make all the images go away. 

this healing process blows. but you will be stronger because of this, different, but stronger. 

this grief. this grief is so complex and the ping-ponging between stages and one step forward six steps back is exhausting. 

take care of yourself.

i don&#039;t think anyone may ever get it completely but here&#039;s a hug. for the hard times and for the happy times.

:)

p/s was going through our donation requests today and didn&#039;t even stop or hesistate at march of dimes. thought of you and maddie and ran it through. 

she&#039;s making a difference.
