Just want you to know that I am praying...Carissa,<br /> Just want you to know that I am praying for you and your family. There are so many "firsts" that you are experiencing without your sweet Avery, but it is part of the grieving process. Allow yourself the freedom to cry when you need to- even if there are others around. I know that's hard sometimes, but being authentic and transparent is so very healing. God will lead you through this. I pray your sense His presence in a very real way.Louisiana Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665585298566225937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005232457040550615.post-53707166248538227492009-07-22T23:31:37.042-05:002009-07-22T23:31:37.042-05:00keeping you in my prayers!keeping you in my prayers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005232457040550615.post-40810358139706097822009-07-22T21:57:41.352-05:002009-07-22T21:57:41.352-05:00Take it one day at a time and remember there is no...Take it one day at a time and remember there is no timeline here.

It was normal to be in the hospital. it was just "what had to be done" at the time. We were able to stay beside for all of those days. We also missed a time change, therefore it was really dark very quickly once we got home. That seemed to affect the start of depression. Once we left the hospital, it was hard to return to some form of normalcy. Friends just did not understand all that we had been through, could not relate and did not know what to say or do. My son did survive and therefore I do not fully understand your quiet. However, your daughter and counsiling (family and personal) we start to help. Holidays and anniversaries are always hard. I will continue to think of you often and pray for your healing.riannhttp://www.proofofpurpose.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005232457040550615.post-28808431677363322502009-07-22T17:30:26.812-05:002009-07-22T17:30:26.812-05:00We definitely have not stopped praying for your fa...We definitely have not stopped praying for your family.

Other days, and hopefully more of these, you may find that these words are just confirmation that that tiny float you feel you are on in the middle of the ocean as you fight your way back to the shore...that the float is bigger than you thought...and we are on it together, encouraging each other, maintaining the balance when one of us just wants to give up..paddling for each other when we just have nothing left. <br /><br />I have found this "support system" just recently...and it's reminded me to hold on..because out of the blue, someone might read my blog, or reach out to me thru some connection here...and it will be just what i need to keep paddling. <br /><br />peace and comfort in family and friends..and strangers..is my prayer for you.<br /><br />c.christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237298811988761237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005232457040550615.post-17635836350234889762009-07-22T14:55:56.826-05:002009-07-22T14:55:56.826-05:00You're definitely being thought of.

I lost all of those friendships (with staff, nurses, doctores, etc.) immediately as I left the hospital for the last time. I'll pray for your tomorrow as you walk back into the hospital. . . I hope that you are taking someone with you? <br /><br />You are a truly brave person and I admire your courage. Not only for sharing your blessing (Avery) with the world, but also for having the courage to let her go in peace. I think about you often as I face the daily challenges of life as a mom. <br /><br />Friend in PittsburghAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
