[...] year Mother’s Day was pretty much one of the worst days of my life, so I’m hoping that last year sucked and this year I’ll be two thousand miles away from [...]

Beth, Please know you were in my thoughts and prayers on Mother’s Day as I knew all too well what you were feeling on Mother’s Day. This was my first Mother’s Day without Adeline as last year I was still pregnant with her and all seemed well with the world. Not this year. Please know that James and Jake feel the love you have for them today and always. I will continue to keep you in my prayers as you travel down this road. Please know you are loved by many!

Oh Beth- I’m behind in reading and wanted to send some love and prayers your way! I can not say that I know how you feel because I do not know- all I can say is that I pray for strength for you. I pray that God will help you through these dark days that seem to overwhelm and take over!

Blessings!!

Oh gosh, I’m so sorry. It does get easier, I think. Time heals. It’s too easy to keep thinking about how many weeks you are, and the day they would be born is awful, and all that stuff. But eventually it becomes less. But it will hit you like that from time to time.

My son helped sometimes, like when I was still miscarrying and he somehow, at the age of two, knew to come over and pat my tummy and tell me he loved me. Other times, though, not so helpful.

Same with when a pet died. He was 3, and in order to process it, he had to ask about it and talk about it all the time, and it just made me burst into tears. I know he was curious and really needed to talk it out, but it didn’t help that he just kept talking about it!! (Heck, he still talks about it — it was his first death, and it comes up a lot more than you’d think it would, 2 years later!!)

Beth, I hope you know how often I think of you, and how often I am simply amazed by you. It is so evident that you have a tribe of loving women behind you, and I am grateful to be a part of it. You are loved!!
