I'm sorry that I'm only just catching up but will pray for your friend and her family. Thank you for having the courage to go and support her at such a difficult time. What a beautiful thing to do. It's times like this that I think we have to stumble along in the darkness and ask God to be faithful to His promise to bring something good from the pain.

It is something no one wants to talk about, the mothers who come home with empty arms, and the fathers who feel so helpless. I love the way this family handled a situation that none of us are ever prepared to face and deal with. That beautiful little angel was sent back home to God surrounded by the love and shared tears of so many. Mourning together is a gift, it is what we can do when there are no words, no ways to comfort. And we pray, we can all pray, and peace will come for them aways down the road. But they will always remember this day, and that you took the time to come and care, and to share their story here. Blessings to all of you.

They needed people not to be afraid to come in to the pain. I, too, always feel when there is a death, people should stop doing things and acknowledge that a life is gone. it has such a huge impact to the family, and yet...strangers don't care. I believe God will heal this family, and of course, Isabel is within God's loving arms.

Can't imagine having to go through a pregnancy expecting it to not end with a baby going home with you. Happens all to often I'm afraid. I always have that same thought when grieving - you look around and wonder how everything can go on like normal. I was almost angry about that the day my Dad passed away, but I quickly realized I was being irrational. Everyone should be lucky enough to have a friend like you nearby. {HUGS}Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-23671707678821005272013-08-15T21:19:51.141-04:002013-08-15T21:19:51.141-04:00Oh. :-( Strength comes from somewhere else when a ...Oh. :-( Strength comes from somewhere else when a friend needs you. I am glad you were able to hang around in such a difficult situation. I remember seeing someone leave the hospital with an empty baby carrier. It was something about the couple's walk, the mom's belly that didn't have a baby in it anymore, their sadness and separation. I still think of them to this day and I didn't know who they were. I just knew in my heart that they had just lost a child. I will be praying for Isabel's family too.Kenya G.
