I never know what to say in these situations... other than I am truly sorry for your loss. I can not even begin to imagine how you must feel, but I hope that you have a strong support network around you to help you get through the following days, weeks, etc. I know you will be strong for your other children, but you also need to let others be strong for you.
HM, I know you from the Commune, and I had been following your story. I offered condolences there, and I am offering them again here. If my car would make the trip, I would be there for you in a heartbeat..... You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers
I am moved by the love & encouragement and every prayer and thought has helped me immensely over the past few days. Owen's funeral was yesterday and it was beautiful. Many, many people came to remember Owen and I am touched by how many lives our baby Owen touched in his 15 days with us. It is something you never prepare yourself to go through, losing a baby, and when it happens you have to find sources of strength to help you cope. For me those sources were my children, my faith, and the prayers and encouragement from those who know me and even those who don't. Thank you all SO very much... and may God bless you. *hugs*
My tears are for you and your pain. Please find the strength and courage not to blame yourselves and second guess everything that happened before and just move forward as much as you can for yourselves and your other children. I know it is hard and it may get harder before it gets better but be strong, let yourself feel it but dont let it take you away....you are cared for..
I'm still at a loss for words. How could I possibly console someone after such a loss? I'm sure sweet Owen will be in your heart forever. I hope you're able to find a spirit of peace to fill your heart as well, and carry you through all these hard days, and I hope that you're surrounded by loved ones to support you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can only hope that it could be of some small consolence to you and your family to know that so many of us are sharing in your grief. We have no way of taking away your pain or even alleviating it, but do know that we share it. So many of us have lost loved ones. We need only remember that pain to know somewhat what you are going through. Please take strength in knowing you are not alone.
