How to Help Your Grieving Friend
Not surprisingly, I’ve had lots of conversations with other families who have grieved a tragedy like ours and reflected on my own experience in the past few months.
For those of you just arriving on the scene, we were expecting our second child, a daughter, to arrive somewhere around September 25, 2007. We went into the hospital on Saturday morning, September 22nd, because I couldn’t shake the feeling that I hadn’t been feeling the baby move as much as I would have expected. We arrived in the triage, were hooked up to monitors and ultrasounds and told that our baby was no longer living. We delivered her that day. We named her Felicity Margaret.
It’s been six months since she left us, and I’ve had good and bad experiences since. I thought I would try to relay some of the helpful things you can do to understand and help your friends who are grieving. Of course this is all from my own experience, and I certainly am not a grief expert in any authoritative way, I just know what I’ve gone through.
So if you think this would be helpful to you now or in the future, I hope you’ll read along, think, comment, pray, and act on behalf of your friends or family members who are grieving. You can be a profound blessing to people you may not feel like you understand.

Hmm… this isn’t really the kind of post for the kind of comment I am leaving, but I just wanted to tell you the cookies are on their way! I sent them via USPS priority mail and you should have them by the end of the week. :-)
I would love to hear about this.
I would also, and of course I didn’t say that in my first comment because i was so excited about the cookies.
I first started to follow your blog when we heard (through DG) about your loss of Felicity. Although we had never met you, as fellow believers and therefore part of the same family (of God) we began then to pray for you and we still do.
Although under different circumstances, my husband and I have experienced the loss of a child(ren), and it has been a blessing for me to “watch” another believer who is also dealing with grief and its related struggles. Your post today was especially apropos as I am struggling with a fresh wave of sorrow…thank you so very much for being candid about yours.
Just this morning, I actually was going to ask if you’d write on this subject. thanks.
Hey Molly,
I’ve had several conversations w/friends asking me how to respond to people that are grieving. I’m with you that I can only share from my experience, but I know there are definite things that I would do and not do, now that we have walked through this past year. I have a running list in a notebook of mine, in case I forget some of the things. Anyway, I look forward to hearing your post.
I don’t leave many comments, but I do check your blog to see how y’all are doing. We often pray for the three of you. I know we live in a fallen world, and that only in glory will we be free from suffering. But after watching two more friends lose babies this past week (16 & 24 weeks), I wish that it were not a reality. I wish that babies didn’t die, and parents didn’t lose their babies. It may sound simplistic. But, I think it just comes from me wishing my Nathaniel was still me, and wanting the same for you, and my other friends.
Anyway, we love you guys.

Thank you so much for writing about this. I would especially love to hear how other moms who have been blessed with many children (often unplanned!) can minister to women who struggle with infertility, or have experienced miscarriage or the death of a child. So often, when I have been pregnant and have heard of other women in my church who have miscarried or otherwise lost children, I wonder if I should just avoid… the sight of a 9-months-along pregnant woman is probably the last thing they want to see. I hope that makes sense!
I am sorry for your loss. elaine
If you plan to include a list of “things not to do” could you please refrain from using our real names;-) I look forward to learning from you in this area and hope that I never need to use your advice on this topic again.
Hello Molly,
My husband found your blog, he is a pastor and John Piper is his hero. We have had your family in our prayers for quite some time now. On Sept. 21, 2007, my little girl was diagnosed with Trisomy 13 at only 15 weeks gestation. We were completley devasted when they told us we would only have a few minutes with her. Of course, they offered termination, but we denied that, we knew she was a gift from our great God and He would take her when He was ready. I carried her for 18 more weeks and she was born on Jan 22, 2008 and lived for 9 minutes. Here is our story, if you would like to read it: http://www.weathersfamily2007.blogspot.com
It has only been 9 weeks since she went home to be with Jesus and although I am so happy that she is with Him, my arms ache to hold her just one more time.
I will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers.
In Christ, Aimee
I am SO thankful you are going to do this, friend. Thanks for using your very difficult experience to bless us.
I just came across your blog today Although I haven’t had time to read too many of your previous posts, your brief description of your daughter’s stillbirth sounds so similar to my experience. I delivered my daughter Tabitha just less than seven weeks ago. So you can be sure that I will be reading anything you write on this subject!
Thank you so much (in advance) for sharing…
Thank you for desiring to write about this. I lost my sweet baby boy Elijah at birth four weeks ago. HIS grace is amazing!
Molly, I was wondering about the Cordell’s. I just visited their TCT website last week wondering if they had a blog link or pictures of a new baby:) i’m so glad to know they are close to their hearts’ desires with this little girl. Please tell her I said hi and miss her. And tell her she needs to have a blog:)
It’s not lonely here–really b/c 3 little boys keep me so busy. The first 5 months were rough though b/c it was been really difficult to make friends and get to know people here–it’s the culture and b/c we foreigners i think. but we finally made some connections and feel much more rooted. Thank the Lord! I was missing so many people back in the states but once we made some friends it helped to relieve that.
Oh, Molly, what a lovely thought to share! I am still in the thick of the grieving, and am at loss as to what to tell my friends when they offer to help.
You and your family have been in my prayers the last six months, and now we share this road……..
First of all I am so sorry that your family went through such a real loss. Being a nurse working high risk obstetrics and nursery I have seen many (too many) go through the process that you are describing. How loving and awesome that you are allowing God to use you as a fount of grace to those who don’t know how to minister to people with such a grief. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to seeing your perspective in this series.
I am visiting from Amy’s Humble Musings.
I just want to say that I appreciate you doing this. Many years ago I lost a baby girl that came too early. I was 24 weeks along when she was born. So many people simply acted like nothing happened. I know I was young, still in high school even but the pain was horrible. I have a tenancy to push pain aside and do what needs to be done, even to this day. But for the life of me I wish those people that loved me would have asked me how I was doing, what can I do to help, do you want to talk about it?. Losing a child is the worse thing I think a parent will go through. We need to support one another when this happens. It is too hard to go through alone.
Thank you for writing about this. Hopefully many fathers and mothers will be blessed by it.
Mrs. Damian Garcia
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I came here via Amy’s Humble Musings. I know some of what you are experiencing as we lost our little girl through stillbirth too. I think sharing what helps and doesn’t help during your grieving time is always helpful for other people. Unless they have been through a similar experience it is just too hard for them to understand. And often, without meaning to, people say things that add to the pain. i guess we have all been there at some stage of our lives. Foot in mouth disease. That is why I wrote a book about our daughter’s loss. If I could have your address I will post you a copy, if you like.
Blessings to your family.

Amanda you are very right. After my loss a teacher told me that she didn’t even know I was pregnant and then said that at least I was young and could have more. The loss of my child at 24 weeks was the beginning of losing 5 children in a row. I thought of her comments every time we lost a baby. My only comfort was that I knew she meant it as good and not just saying it.
I found you through Amy’s Humble musings. I’m so sorry for your loss.
It was a blessing find your posts today. Two months ago I lost my third baby in about a year and a half. Though it was at about 12 weeks, we’d been to the doctor so many times and been assured everything looked great. You just never know what will happen.
Anyway, I’d been having one of those anxious and alone kind of days where I just feel like I’m in another world from everyone around me. Your suggestions are great. I know it’s hard for people to know what to do with folks like us, in unbelievably sad situations. Knowing other people are surviving too, however, is at least some comfort.
Best wishes to you and your family.
Thank you for sharing. God has led me to your site. Your story is so similar to mine. I had a stillbirth, a little girl named Elizabeth. I was suppose to have her on Oct. 14, 2004 but went in on Oct. 12th as you did to find out she had gone to be with the Lord. I had two children who were 13yrs. and 10yrs. They were so excited to have a little sister coming. My 13yr. old prayed the entire night for God to perform a miracle and prayed that maybe the doctor and nurses were wrong. I remember praying that I would not hear another baby cry. That night, God listened and I never heard another baby cry. I remember them asking us if we wanted an autopsy but we declined. My doctor advised us not to and so some days I still wonder what happened. The doctor believes it was a cord accident.
I am still grieving but it does get better. You have to turn to the Lord to help you get through this kind of pain. The following year, I delivered a healthy little girl named Lindsey on Oct. 20, 2005. That was a difficult pregnancy.
Thank you again for sharing.
God Bless You and Your Family.

Oh Molly, thank you so much for writing about this. Ever since Barb Christenson spoke at MOMS in 2006, this has been stirring in my heart and I desperately want to be a caring, sensitive friend to my friends that are missing their children and yet I am poorly equipped!
Thank you for writing this series. I’ve never lost a child (I’m still single) but just this week I’ve begun the process of going through a different kind of grief. I’ve never felt so loved and supported by the Body of Christ yet everything within me aches and the tears are flowing freely.
Thank you for opening up your heart on this subject, and please know that you’re blessing people in countless ways.
I found you from Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer. I have never experienced what you have, and I cannot possibly know the pain you bear. But I thank you for being brave and transparent enough to write about your experiences. You have, no doubt, ministered to so many families who have experienced the loss of a child……and you have ministered to the rest of us in giving us solid advice on responding well to those who have experienced such tragedy. I’m reminded of the verse that tells us that God comforts us so we can, in turn, comfort others who are hurting. You are obeying this tender command. I know God will bless your heart greatly in this ministry.
A friend of mine went through this exact same thing with her son. I am going to send her a link to your blog. Thank you for talking about it. We don’t talk about this enough.
I don’t know if you have heard of the Christian group “Selah”, but the lead singer’s name is Todd Smith. He and his wife, Angie, are having a baby girl tomorrow named Audrey Caroline and she is not expected to live. Although I don’t kinow them personally I love the music of Selah and came across their blog about their experience, http://www.audreycaroline.blogspot.com. I know they would covet your prayers tomorrow afternoon. I have been praying for them all week. Thank you for sharing your story and allowing the Lord to use your hurt for His Glory. May God Bless you richly.
Hi- it has been just over a year ago that we delivered our stillborn daughter. I understand . Read my post here:
http://justincase-doll.blogspot.com/2008/01/in-honor-of-chelsea.html
I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I think all your posts about grief are wonderful and will help a lot of people out there. Although I know it’s not the same kind of grief, I miscarried my baby and I can identify with much of what you wrote.
I found your blog through Rocks in my Dryer. We lost our daugter on March 11, 2007. She lived 16 1/2 hours. It came as a shock to us as well. I have struggled through so many things and have my good days and bad days. It is encouraging to hear other people’s stories and to know that your story may help others, although nothing “makes it better.” There is a long road ahead of all of us who have suffered losses and it is nice to know that we can go through it together. God bless.
I’m so sorry about your Felicity, and am looking forward to reading through your blog. We lost our micropreemie nearly a year ago, so I understand some of that grief. May God’s peace consume you.

Molly, this is a wonderful blog. You will be blessed by doing this. There is a song by Casting Crowns called “Praise You In This Storm”, that you can find on GodTube.com. When I lost my granddaughter Haylee, two years ago, that song was played regularly on the radio, and it had such healing power for me. Everytime I hear it, even to this day, I get lost with emotion in the words, and the tears flow. I praise God from the bottom of my heart, even though I don’t understand, I know through His Word, that she is with Him, and it all works together for His purpose, and it is good! I HAVE to believe that. It always leaves me with feelings of grace, and comfort. My daughter-in-law went through a terrible depression which re-emerged at the one year anniversary of Haylee’s death. I didn’t know how to help. She wouldn’t talk to anyone. God laid on my heart (with her blessing), to start an outreach program called “Haylee’s Gift”. I wrote a letter of encouragement and empathy, sharing God’s love and the story of our loss, to send to other families going through a loss of their own. Letting them know that their pain is felt, and they are not alone. I also made a children’s book (scrapbooking can be very therapeutic :), based on a conversation I had with my five year old granddaughter on the day of her sister’s death. It was designed to help young children who have lost a sibling. She asked the question, “Why would God put a baby in Mommy’s belly, if He’s not going to let us keep it?” That’s pretty deep for a five year old! Praise God, it turned into a beautiful conversation, that was meant to be shared with other children. Something that their little minds could process and find comfort in. I let her draw pictures to go in the book and she added her own words of encouragement, in her own handwriting, at the end. I have sent it to other families in our area. Somehow it has given purpose, and promoted healing for our whole family. I NEVER would have even thought of taking this on, had it not been for Haylee. There is no better way to heal, and nothing more comforting through loss, than to give back to others suffering, as you do. Molly, I’m sure you’re finding that to be true :) Thank you for pouring out your soul , to help all of these hurting families. I would encourage all who read this, to find a way to honor your child and leave a legacy of purpose, by helping others. God gives us an invitation, through our circumstances, to use them for His will. By blessing others, the fruits of the spirit will be blessed on you :) In sharing your pain, the bitter-ness can become bitter-sweet, and then the healing begins.

thank you for sharing these… they make me feel more normal in my own grief.
Thank you for teaching us through your pain.
Thank you so much for sharing and helping those who want to care for their friends.
After my loss, a person I worked with wrote me a note that said “I do not know how you feel, but it must be awful. I am so sorry.” It was so good to hear from someone who knew they did not know how I felt.
A friend of mine had a daughter who died almost 9 years ago, at the age of 14. Every once in a while, Rachel pops into my head or I have a dream with her in it. I always call her mother when this happens, to let her know I remember Rachel and I think of her. Someone once told me that I shouldn’t call–it would just remind the parents of their loss. As if they would forget.
Because of this blog, people you have never met, will remember Felicity. Amazing how a child who never had a chance to walk on this planet, can affect humankind.
Molly,
Thank you for sharing the truth of grief after the loss of a baby.
My first child, a son, was due September 21, 2007. However, at only 21 weeks, on May 14, 2007 (one day after Mother’s Day), David Joseph was born and lived for only 2 hours and 17 minutes. I delivered due to Incompetant Cervix.
So many people don’t understand and many of us don’t have the energy to tell them, even if it would help us grieve.
I want to encourage you, that as time continues and with your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, the days do get easier. I don’t wish David to be here with me for him (because he is with Jesus), but for my heart. I hurt for not being be able to hold him again, see his face, touch him and watch him grow.
Being 30 when we had David Joseph, we wanted to begin “trying” for a living child as soon as possible after his going to Heaven. It has now been a year of “trying” and God has not had another pregnancy in His plan. This has been a trial of more questioning and more anger and more hurt.
I have made it 14 months and never know what day I may get hit with all the emotions of the grief again. His birthday we had a special dinner and cake and took flowers to the cemetary. I had also been doing a scrapbook that I finished that day.
I have thought ahead to September 21, when he would be 1 year old by his original due date, and wonder how I will handle it. My Consoling Parents support group for Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss has their Fourth Annual Walk to Remember with a memorial service and balloon release. I am helping this year and hope it will be a peaceful day and a time to release some more tears!
Sorry this has gotten so long. God Bless You for telling about grief and in your healing journey!
Thank you for this. I lost my daughter at birth four years ago. God has been faithful and my season of grief was bearable but I wish I had this to give my friends, who had to walk with me through the grief. I lost several of my dear friends during my grief and it is still very painful to think about that part.
Thanks for writing this; I lost my beloved daughter, Elle, almost 4 years ago, and I wish my friends/family/acquaintances had had this to read. It’s very insightful and helpful. Would you mind if I link to it on my blog? I want everyone I know to read it so they are more sensitive and equipped for the future. Thank you!

I just found this series yesterday, and it was such a blessing to read. I lost a baby at 9 weeks in July, and another one previously at 23 weeks in 2002. I really identified with all of these posts. Thanks! I’m adding your series to my blog post today, as one of the best blog finds of my week. Blessings and congratulations on your new baby boy!
Thanks for your words.
We just lost our sweet baby girl on Sunday due to still birth. A friend sent me your blog. Your words are comforting.
Thank you

Thanks for sharing your your private grief so publicly. After losing a parent and walking through other losses with friends, I realize people are often at a loss as to know how to help their friends. You do a great job at addressing this need. Have you considered writing a book (or booklet) on this topic?
My daughter just shared the link to your website today on her blog. On July 6, 2007 she and her husband lost their beloved daughter to leukemia, she was 2 1/2. They just lost a litte boy this past tuesday, he was four weeks old. They were adopting and had him since birth…however, the birth mother changed her mind. Once again they are devasted, as are we. Those who have not been through suffering don’t know what to say, and all to often offer the “Hallmark” sayings. You shared in a precise, knowledgeable and helpful way for folks to help those who are grieving over losing a child. thank you.
molly,
i was brought to your blog in the same way as gretchen, who commented also. two years ago my boyfriend was in a car accident and now has a tbi. although i have not experienced physical loss of ian, we have lost much (temporary or permanent?) and the grief is huge. your posts are so poignant and filled with grace. you have said what i’ve been trying to say to my friends for two years:) keep the posts comin:)

A little over a year ago, I was searching for this very series when a good friend’s mom had died. Thanks so much for posting it, and sharing your story.
Molly,
Thank you so much for writing this series of posts. My best friend just went through a miscarriage, and I have been asking God to really give me insight and wisdom into how to support her. Your posts are a special encouragement and gift of wisdom. Thank you for sharing through your pain and loss, and allowing God to use you. Thank you!
Strange how I found you through random clicking, but so needed this (these) posts! Over the weekend, I wrote on my blog asking, “How do we help comfort those who’ve lost someone?”. I asked because I had THREE friends lose parents last week. Tough stuff.
So, guess I’m trying to say, thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to write these and being candid while you did. They were an answer to a question I needed answered. And soon!
Since I’m a first time reader, I’ll introduce myself. Hi. I’m Brin. :)
[...] 28 Januar 2009 · Keine Kommentare Hier schreibt Molly Piper, Autorin von “The Pipers” eine Serie, wie man trauernden Freunden helfen kann. Molly Piper hat im September 2007 das für Eltern Schlimmste überhaupt erfahren. Sie hat ihr Kind verloren. Es starb, kurz bevor es zur Welt kam. Auch darüber schreibt sie in ihrem Blog “The Pipers”. Wenn wir von solchen Ereignissen in unserer Umgebung erfahren, fühlen wir uns oft hilflos. Völlig hilflos. Wenige Menschen haben wirklich gelernt, wie wir am besten damit umgehen, wie wir das Thema zur Sprache bringen können, wie wir auch einfach nur fragen können. Molly erzählt, berührt und bewegt. Niemals belehrt sie. Und doch gibt es hier viel zu lernen. Auch in einer Reihe, die helfen kann zu verstehen, was in trauernden Menschen passiert und wie wir damit umgehen können.

Thank you so much for writing this. A good friend of mine lost her baby in October and recently wrote a post on her blog that included mentioning this entry on your blog.
Having a friend facing this kind of life-altering grief is completely new territory. I was a little blindsided by how hard the hurt actually hit me, how much I questioned God for and grieved the loss of a baby that wasn’t mine and I never got to meet. I was sad for my sweet friends, aching that we went to a memorial service to see them exhausted by grief instead of visiting their house with a new baby balloon in the yard and see them exhausted by sleepless, joyful nights of caring for a newborn. I went to a store twice to try to buy a sympathy card and left both times in tears after seeing the new baby cards. How on earth can you ever be anything for a friend when the hurt you feel is only a drop next to the fathoms of pain she feels?
I wish I had this practical, tangible advice sooner, and I’m so grateful to that you wrote so beautifully and candidly. I will be passing along your post to others!
In Christ,
Taylor Smith
How amazingly thoughtful of you to share such caring information. Thank you so much for sharing. You are a remarkable woman of God and I pray that the Lord blesses you greatly for your selflessness. God has & will continue to use this to touch so many lives out there– Thank You (:

Molly,
I stumbled upon your blog today by God’s grace. One of my friends just lost her precious daughter 10 days ago due to severe complications during birth for both her and the baby. It was so unbelievably sad and tragic. I have been struggling with how to help her now that the busy time of the funeral and the arrangements are over, with everything starting to sink in. Your posts on how to help your greiving friend are so helpful and encouraging to me. I can’t believe the wandering little path through various blogs today that led me to your blog. I attend Five Points Community Church and when our beloved Pastor Dan (who’s now gone home) announced your loss I remember praying for you and your family that Sunday and in the days after. I am so amazed that my friend’s recent loss has led me to your blog. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, your grief, your faith in Christ and your hope.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this series of posts! What a blessing for those of us who grieve, both for our own losses or because of someone else’s. Your honestly and vulnerability are gifts to us.

Molly,
I read all of your posts on this issue when I first started following your blog a few weeks ago, and your honesty brought tears to my eyes. I hurt for the pain you guys had as you dealt with it, and still do deal with the pain of losing a baby.
Now, weeks later, a friend has just lost her full-term baby. I’ve now shared your blog with friends, so that we can attempt to comfort her and share in her pain right now and in the next several months. Thank you for letting the Lord use you through your blog.
Thank you for posting this. My 2nd daughter was born on 5 October 2009 and was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (similar to a lou gehrig’s/ALS disease in infants). She died 3 weeks later. I have a blog and I’ve been struggling with trying to find the “right” things to post on the blog to express how I feel and you have said exactly how I feel and in in a beautiful way.
My friends have been wonderful but I think part of my daughter’s legacy is helping people who haven’t or never will go through such a tragedy as losing a child will better understand the whole grieving process and in turn help someone else.
Thank you.
Molly
Molly,
I came across a reference to your blog posts on dealing with grief and I cannot thank you enough for being so open and sincere about the loss of your precious daughter Felicity. Two years ago I had a miscarriage when my sweet Noah was only about 12 weeks along. It was the hardest thing I have ever been through! When reading your blogs I was able to find such comfort… I shared many of your emotions and thought about many of the same things you wrote about, but was never able to articulate it so well. Sometimes it is hard to see the “good” (Rom. 8:28) in losing a child, but I know that God is good and that is enough for me. I am definitely better able to minister to others who are grieving the loss of a child because of my own experience, and for that I am grateful.
I think what surprised me the most when I first lost Noah was how much well-meaning people could hurt me with their words! I heard comments like “well, at least you already have 3 other children” or “you can always have another one.” People didn’t seem to understand that a child is not like a gold fish that you “replace” with another…
Thanks again for writing and helping me deal with my loss. I still have my moments of grief two years later. I can’t help but think about how old Noah would have been and the things he would be doing if he were here with me. I suppose I will deal with these emotions until we meet again in heaven.

Thank you again for sharing your heart. I found your blog last year when a friend from church was beginning her journey down this path. Now I come back a year later as I watch my niece begin the same journey. Your words will help me minister to her.
Thank you for being willing to be used of God in ALL things. Bless your heart!
I just discovered your blog a couple weeks ago and I wanted to let you know how much I have appreciated reading your posts on helping a grieving friend. This has literally been a common topic of discussion between my husband and I lately – my complete incompetence in helping those who are suffering. I’ve had people tell me what isn’t helpful, but I’ve never had anyone articulate so well what is helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this series. It’s refreshing to have someone put into words what I could not express in the time right after delivering my daughter, stillborn at 39 weeks. I still struggle at times with things that people will say or not say to me. I often feel that she is forgotten too easily by those who should love me enough to remember her. I’m so thankful though that when those moments come, God has been ever faithful to bring someone else along to assure me that No, she hasn’t been forgotten, and though I have am now mother to four boys, some still remember that I do have a daughter waiting for me in heaven.
Thank you for your heart and for your honesty. I pray the Lord continues to heal and bless you and your family.
Molly,
I wanted to thank you for sharing your wisdom through your process of grief. I am also a mom who had to experience the death of her baby. My beautiful baby boy was only 4 days old. We knew about his very bad prognosis from week 18 gestation…and we got to have those 4 days with him. Anyhow, I hope you don’t mind that as I shared with my church today on our grieving process, I told them to look up your website here. I also shared a lot from what you have written here…and just wanted to thank you for that.
May God continue to be our rock until we are reunited with our beloved babies.
[...] was written by a young Mom who had a still born daughter in 2007. Its a great series entitled How to Help Your Grieving Friend. There are 10 posts in the series and I would encourage you to read them [...]
Molly, as the oldest child in the family I have observed and grieved for my Mother going through 2 full-term babies dying, one after the other. The first lived a few hours and the second was a still birth. Later she lost the brother that was 2 years younger then me in a car accident at 23. I thank God for her strength and Faith. Her and Dad were such an example to all of us….My Mom grieved but prayed and prayed and prayed and some how got through it and she was able by God’s grace to have 2 more children, 10 and 12 years younger then me….My Dad is graduated to heaven now but what rejoicing there must have been when he was reunited not only with Jesus but his 3 children that had gone before.
I wish my Mom could have shared more to be a help to others but she has had a difficult time with that. She is such a sweet lady though and we are so thankful for her and her courage through life (facing death of children and gradual loss of sight).
Now, she is completely blind and forgetful. We are so thankful that so far we have been able to keep her in her home with help. We so thank God for our Godly Mom.

I would add two to the list… The first is one of your other posts about educating yourself, which was a fundamentally awesome gift that man gave you in the book he read to understand you better. Second, I would add Keep Trying and Expect a “No”. My wife and I didn’t have the energy to make plans and when we did might cancel as much as not because we were and still are living in the moment to moment emotional torrent. So we advised friends to keep asking us… for time out at dinner, for nights in, to come for a visit, whatever… and just be ok and not take offense if we say No. The people who got that and weren’t scared of our rejection were a huge blessing to us.
I’ve shared this blog post many times, and shared it today with a sweet sister in Christ at my church. She just lost her granddaughter (36 weeks in utero). Thanks again so much for writing this.
Polski kraj nie trzeba do najbogatszych, ale obok owo w w pewnej mierze wszystkim klanu goni sie telewizor. Jestesmy natychmiast przyzwyczajeni do spedzania wieku zanim odbiornikiem, totez nie spostrzegamy w wiekszosci wypadkow wplywu, jaki jedenasta muza doprowadza na nasze obecnosc. Gdy scrapebox niemniej zastanowimy sie przez chwile, zdolamy dostrzec takze przydatnego, kiedy zas miazdzace dzialanie telewizorni na nas.
Z trudem nie zobaczyc, ze podczas gdy owocna nam jest jedna obowiazujaca informacja, owo wypatrujemy jej wpierw w telewizorni. W krancu telewizor poblaza nam blyskawicznie zas bez trudu dojsc do konkretnych wiadomosci, podczas gdy przeciwnie ich zadamy. Nierzadko po prostu przelaczamy kanaly tak aby dowiedziec sie, co przebieg zdarzen sie okolo nas, w gniazdu, kancie, na ziemio. Ogladajac zurnalistyka informacyjne, gdy Zasob wiedzy, Gazeta azaliz Fakty w mgnieniu oka natomiast w kilku slowach dowiadujemy sie o tym, co istnieje miane, nie wazne, badz interesuje nas dzialalnosc polityczna, gospodarka czy sport. zyja nawet dwudziestoczterogodzinnego przewody informacyjne. Ciekawosc ziemio istnieje pomocna cecha wspolczesna przy wielu gosciach, zas unowoczesnienie telewizorni powstal glownie w finalu jej zadowolenia. Jak idealem po tej stronie zdolam poprzednia wojna w Iraku. Media telewizyjne migiem tudziez dosyc detalicznie instruowalyby o procesu dzialan bitewnych, losie populacji spolecznej tudziez newspaper interlokucjach politykow. Zeszla, pierwsza konflikt zbrojny w Zatoce Perskiej pokutowala nawet nazwana kampania telewizyjna. Fakty te rozporzadzaja, iz telewizja istnieje dla nas bliskim medykamentem przebiegania ziemio, nawet jego najdalszych zaulkow.
Najogromniejszym ryzykiem, ktore zagraza nam ze okolica zabawy komputerowych istnieje wybor uzaleznienia. Notorycznie nie dostrzega sie, ze w zastepstwie umiarkowanej pory badz dwoch, zgonilibysmy poprzednio ekranem piatka azali dziesiec godzin. Czasem taka kazus moze stac sie regula – to adonik do uzaleznienia. Zaczynamy dopiero marnowac kontakt sposrod faktycznoscia, otoczeniem. Nasze uklady z dynastia zas sprzymierzencze karlowacieja. Naszym ziemio staje sie mozg elektronowy. Bez dostepu do blaszaka odczuwamy sie poruszani gry edukacyjne oraz nie wydolamy sie skoncentrowac. Wypadki uzaleznionych sa niekiedy okropnego. Pewien dorastajacy z Wysokiej Brytanii za sprawa 84 pory nie spozywal, nie pileczek, nie spal. Wylacznie gral. Zrealizowal rozgrywke, jednakze byla pani jego miniona – istota zywa nie obstawalby wycienczenia. Exemplum ow powinien istniec ostrzezeniem dla wszystkich, ktorzy nie sprostaja nieglupio dawkowac se okresu przedtem komputerem. Jednakowo, jezeli nie w wyzszym stopniu gniewne, jest nalog od czasu Internetu. Wziety istnieje casus mamy, jakiej odjeto uprawnienia rodzicielskie, gdyz w zastepstwie z dziecmi oganialaby pelny trwanie na internetowych chatach .
Aby nie draznic slepiow powtarzajacym wpatrywaniem sie w monitor trzeba odnalezc siebie spojone sposrod sprzetem, jednakze niespragnione go hobby, wzorem moze tu egzystowac zbieranie produktow z pism nalezacych nielokalnych ukochanych zabawy. Z wtorej okolica, rozrywki mobilizuja do nieodmiennych, szerszych hobby. Gry strategiczne aktywuja az do zapotrzebowania sie przeszloscia, symulatory natomiast zabawy sceny – fiction technologia i sportowe bez watpienia sportem.
Z pozostalej strony, zabawy zas pragnienia z nimi sklejone moga, wprawdzie nie musza, pogardliwie wplywac na nasze wytwory w szkole ewentualnie skutecznosc w ksiazki. W macie jak kupujemy gre, pozadamy dedykowac jej gdy najwiecej wieku zas czesto ignorujemy przez to kazdego cieple kurs. Gorsze schodki a owoce, sennosc w szkole tudziez robocie sprawiona zarwaniem nocy – owo czeste fenomeny naduzywania rozrywki komputerowych. Nie wypada ich ignorowac, powinno sie stronic gry dla dzieci wynikniecia.
Z trudem mi bezsprzecznie spuentowac moja zwerbalizowanie. Rozgrywki komputerowe maja zacne a zle strony, jak w dodatku nieomalze wszystko, co wywoluje obywatelowi rozkosz. Sa pogrozeniem, albowiem moga uzaleznic. Rycina, brzmienia oraz niepozostalego podloze rozgrywek zdobyloby juz tymczasem poziom inscenizacji, oraz tak aby dociekac swoje horyzonty nie zdolamy unikac jednostce. Azeby zlozyc doniesienie zabawe zainteresowanie w macie dobrego impulsu natomiast celujacego spelnienia. Zabawy komputerowe sa oraz beda choc nieodlaczna ingrediencja dzisiejszej cywilizacji, czy tamtego potrzebujemy, czy nie. Jedynie od czasu nas tymiz podlega, kiedy bedziemy wcina se racjonowac i jednakowoz wyrzadza nam strate, azaliz zaledwie postapia przyjemnosc i byc moze nawet okaza sie utylitarnego.
Acz swiezo byt sie miedzy nami popsulo. Nie wiedzialam, gdzie dulczy trudnosc. Nawet cwiczylabym o tym zagadnac Kasie, przeciez ta nic bardziej blednego cos mi baknelaby tudziez wymigala sie od momentu riposty. Rozpoczelam sie frapowac, czy jej czyms nie skaleczylam, alisci nul takiego nie przybywaloby mi az do lepetyny. W macie zdecydowalam sie na otwarta konwersacje sposrod moja kumpela. Zastanawialam sie w ideach, azali porady prawnicze jeszcze moge ja owszem mienic. Kasia zgodzil sie na zebranie, lecz zaproponowala, tak aby owo bylo kedys na gniazdu. Na ogol zapraszala mnie az do sobie, stad nieco mnie to zdumialoby. Wprawdzie dopuscilabym na jej propozycje.
W umowiony doba oczekiwalabym powyzej 20 minut. Kiedy natychmiast trzymalabym umierac, trwalam wrecz przeciwnie skondensowany sms, ze z motywu biezacych powodow nie moze przyjsc. Nawiazalabym sie frapowac, czy owo basta krajowej przyjacielscy. Jednak w szkole to Kasia pierwsza do mnie podeszla. Mietosila podkrazone slepiow natomiast oczekiwala niewyspana. Nuze wiedzialam, iz byt dbalego sie stalo, dlatego ze plec nadobna nigdy nie opanowywala sie niedowolnymi pryszczami. Owo musi byc cokolwiek znaczacego – rozwazylabym. Przerwa miedzy lekcjami ondulacja zwiezle, wskutek tego owszem umowilysmy sie explicite po zarezerwowaniach.
Predko uplywalabym ze szkoly po naukach. Kasia w tej chwili w owa strone byla. Poszlysmy do sasiadujacej kafejki. Kasia starala sie usmiechac, mimo to nie malpowalo sie to jej. Jej twarz mowila sama za siebie. Wobec jej milczenia spytalam:
-Co sie wystawalo? Jezeli nie mozesz mowic, nie dykcyj. Wydedukuje owo.
-Owo dluga przygoda… Juz onegdaj pozadalabym owi o tym powiedziec, niemniej jednak …chociaz z trudem mi bylo sie przelamac…. myslalam, iz komplet sie mimo ze ulozy. Niemniej jednak obecnie jest coraz gorzej… -stwierdzilaby Kasia.
Kornie oczekiwalam na jej uzasadnienia. Z jej urwanych powiedzen w macie dowiedzialam sie, iz lazi jej starszego brata. To byl urodziwy goniec natomiast dawniej sie w zanim podkochiwalam. Teraz w tej chwili go nie rozroznialabym od dluzszego wieku. Slyszalam, ze odjechalby na studia. Kasia zaaprobowala owo a stwierdzilaby, ze wtedy komplet sie zaczelo. W ogromnym miescie zidentyfikowal nowiutenkie towarzystwo, okazjonalnie bywal w klanu a nie predzej ostatnimi czasy sie okazalo, iz chwycil wywrocony ze studiow, bowiem nie zaszufladkowal nastepujacych sprawdzianow. Jednakze nie owo bylo najgorsze. Powrocilby prawnicze do domu nieslychanie inny.
Kiedy rodzicielka odkryla w jego gabinetu kuriozalny proszek, przyzwala o uzasadnienia. Wszelako Rafal byl cichy oraz pustka nie zakomunikowal. Puszczono rozmowe na w przyszlosci, kiedy ojciec powroci sposrod publikacji. W miedzyczasie Rafal spakowal swoje tresci oraz zwialby z rodu. Zapisal ale wrecz, azeby go nie wypatrywac. Bylo to szesc tygodni biezacemu. Rozumie sie samo przez sie rodzice nie dali za wygrana a wypytywali wspolpracowniczki o Rafala. Wczoraj caloksztalt sie wyluszczylo. zyl na jednej z parceli. Kiedy ojciec o tym sie dowiedzial, pomknalby w owa strone. Wszystkiego z matka oczekiwalysmy sposrod niecierpliwoscia na ich przybycie. W macie wstaliby w drzwiach. Az trudno bylo zaufac, ze owo Rafal. Mial na se nieosobista ulubiona kurtke, tymczasem byla pani trefna a ublocona. Wypatrywalby wlasciwie, malo co onegdaj sie nie pluskal. Mial zapadniete slepiow zas pozolkla skore. Co wiecej niepewnie skrecal sie na kapcanach. Uwazalabym, ze jest dziabniety. Ojciec rzekl lecz:
- Owo dragi.
Wtedy natychmiast caloksztalt bylo jasne. Lada dzien przybyl doktor oraz do niedowolnych trafilaby zalosna prawdziwosc: Rafal jest ciezko uzalezniony. To obecnie niezwykle innowacyjne krok. Byc moze go uchronic tylko odwyk. Oznajmilby nam, iz calosc zaskoczyloby sie na studiach, dokad ziomkowie pozyskaliby go az do pierwszego ciosu. Wyczul sie w tamtym czasie akuratniej natomiast uzyl po drzewo parceli. W przyszlosci juz nie zdolal niczego sie uczyc bez ponownej porcji. Opylalby roznorakiego nieosobiste materii, lada nic bardziej blednego byc wyposazonym finanse na psychotropy. Nadal sie nawet, iz przywlaszczylby matki pieniadze z portfela tuz po panszczyzny. W tamtym czasie wszelcy byli wmowieni, iz to winne istnieje dekoncentracja maci. Aktualnie prawda odeszla na jaw.
-W tej chwili rozumiesz aktualnie czemu wczoraj mnie nie bylo? -spytala Kasia?
W riposcie afirmatywnie makowka.
-Nie zdolalabym zostawic moich rodzicieli z tym szkopulem. Dzien wczorajszy ujelibysmy, podczas gdy przyniesc ulge Rafalowi. Najgorsze, iz on sie poddal oraz na niby mu nie zalezy. Popychamy go do leczenia, natomiast on sie uparl natomiast nie zgadza sie. – stwierdzila Kasia.
Pocieszalam moja psiapsiole i rzeklam, iz jutro ja wstapie zas posmakuje porozmawiac z Rafalem. W macie drzewiej trwalibysmy znajomymi.
W procedury do budynku kontemplowalabym owo, co uslyszalam. Jednakze Rafal byl takiz kuty na cztery nogi tudziez proch tak duza liczba rozkladow na czas przyszly. Pragnalby stanowic prawnikiem, a w tej chwili stoczyl sie na smutek. Nawet kradl, zeby posiadac pieniadze na dragi. Owo okropne, do czego przewodza nalogi. Uradzilabym, iz ego w zyciu nie matrony sie ugadac na doswiadczanie owego swinstwa. Nie chce skonczyc scisle mowiac gdy Rafal. Maci autorskie tesknienia tudziez pragne wcina przeprowadzic.
Wykazane jest, ze tak bywa az do sekt wnikaja sila robocza o nieschorzalych zakresach, i oraz mlodzi. Wzgledem istnieje to, ze sa oni wewnatrz wielce prostoduszni zas troszke despotyczny. Ich zycie jest gruntownie regularne az do momentu jak nie wnikaja az do sekty. Maja wlasne budynki, dynastii. Przeciez wszystko owo wydaja w momencie, podczas gdy poczynaja kupowac w to, co plota wodza sekt. Ufaja naiwnie we dowolne ich zabezpieczenia. Scrapebox “odurzeni” ludzie przeleja wsio na co pracowali zupelnego biega – budynek wolnostojacy, swoj social media marketing majatek, eudajmonia. Najistotniejszego staje sie owo co powiedza czlonkowie sekt. Dewot i proszek zly istotnosc na gosciach w swoim towarzystwie – u dolu jego prestizem majstruje sie np. Orgon. On nawiazuje brac za dobra monete we komplet co tylko stwierdzi Dwulicowiec. Jest calkiem w panu zapatrzony. Nie wie, iz jest z wykorzystaniem panu wykorzystywany zas oszukiwany. Calosc atoli przestaje sie akuratnie, albowiem w godziwej sekundy orientuje sie jaka istnieje zgodnosc z rzeczywistoscia. Jakkolwiek bez watpienia wolno stwierdzic, iz w biezacym swiecie persona taki kiedy Tartuffe moglby sterczec sie dowodca sekty.
Po pewnym czasie wybitnie frapuje mnie kino. Nadzwyczaj lubie isc az do kina na rozlicznego obrazy. Zwykle preferuje filmy obcokrajowe. Lubie przygladac sie na rozliczne efekty komputerowe, alias indywidualnego, a w nadprogramu bardziej naciska mnie rozrywka aktorska aktorow zagranicznych. Bez ryzyka everyman zadalby mi teraz pytanie jakie w takim razie obrazy miluje? Koszmary owo sa moje ukochane filmy. Przypuszczalnie wiec, iz podobaja mi sie filmy, w jakich sie sporo szydelkuje, na jakich mozna sie przestraszyc. Uwielbiam takze obrazy dziwne zas nieponadprzecietne. Ogromnie czestokroc spogladam obrazy sposrod tych wariantow, gdyz to idealny procedura na zegnanie udzielnego czasu. Dopiero w calosci wkraczam w role kozakow, zdarza mi sie, iz sposrod niedowolnym sie nawet utozsamiam. Obrazy, wzglednie wypady do kina owo plus kapitalny sposob na odstresowanie obojetnie jaki plackow a zmozenie nienudnej zwyczajnosci. Ano, dziesiata muza jest pewnym sposrod moich ulubionych miejsc. Czesto oraz patrze celuloidy efektowne – kilka rozgi odczuwalbym “Wladce pierscieni”.
Staram sie trwac nie nudzac sie natomiast nie tracac drogiego czasu na rzeczy bez celowego oraz glupie. Ubostwiam strzelac poczucie piekna suprareniny natomiast emocji. Dlatego rowniez czcze (wcale szybka – choc znam, iz owo nie furt pewnego) jezdzic motocyklem. Wowczas zdolam oglosic, iz moje bytowanie ma meritum. Raz za razem odczytuje sie temu zajeciu. Konnica na motocyklu wykonuje, iz staje sie do wynajecia zas pomyslny. W dodatku skuter czyni, iz moc moge jezdzic i odwiedzac zajmujace xrumer polozenia.

Musze oraz wzmiankowac o niewlasnej jeszcze niejakiej slabosci. Jest nia Net. Jest dozwolone w owa strone wyszukac krocie pociagajacych informacji oraz roznorodnych ciekawostek. Potwierdzam sie, iz co niemiara okresu odpedzam kiedy niekiedy zanim sprzetem.
Calkowitego moje pragnienia przemawiaja na owo, iz bodaj nasuwam goscia renesansu. Ciekawi sie, w samej rzeczy kiedy oni, wieloma sprawami. Uhm natomiast matki nadzieje, ze wlasciwie kiedy oni bede wszechstronnie wyksztalcony
Gosc, zeby nie poniechac sie w chaosach zycia pragnie jakiemus wskazowek, jakie uznaja mu pewnie dojsc az do zamiaru.

Podczas gdy zyc a ktorych bledow nie popelniac radzi nieraz gosciowi literatura. W niej albowiem znajdujemy zrodla przykladow, postaw i wzorcow niepersonalnych, ktore warto nasladowac. Na powierzchni wielu latek artysci tudziez autorowie starali sie wyeksplikowac wymyslna psychoterapeuta budowle humanistycznej umyslowosci.

Thank you for sharing your story. I know there are far too many others with their own stories. I wish there was a blog when we lost our twins much in the same way. I knew something wasn’t right and I wasn’t surprised when they said that one had died but we “still had another one” the doctor told us but she had her own plans.. she came ten hours later and lived for a month in a NICU. I knew in my heart and that God had prepared me for her to join her sister in Heaven. I believe or need to believe that’s where they are. Together happy and in no pain or problems. It’s hard for me to tell people that I have two boys and not say something about my girls too. Depending on the situation I say I have four children. I felt four children inside of me and have known at least three in person. It is horrible and you’re never ever the same no matter what. Your other children don’t replace your babies that you’ve lost. It doesn’t work that way. People will say really dumb things because they don’t know any better. I wish our society would allow us to grieve more openly than it does. Thanks again for this blog.
