I think about how different our lives would be with her, if she was healthy of if she was home and sick (she had Trisomy 18). But I am so thankful for the way she lived out her life, I couldn't have imagined it a better way. It still hurts and I am always changed, never over her.

I only just found your blog today. My son died at 36 weeks just 6 weeks after your daughter went home to Jesus. Owen's life and death have rocked my very being and everything I've ever thought about God has been shaken. I have since lost 2 babies during the first trimester and find myself back at the beginning so to speak. Thank you for your honesty, your transparency. God is using your life in ways you cannot imagine. Even though my anger and questions and the confusion abounds in my head, I can still see clearly that God does use all things. ugh. I hate even saying that sometimes, because it's like a justification and saying 'it's ok with me that my son died.' When...no...It's not ok that Owen and I are separated. I miss him. There is always a big hole, a void, where he should be growing up. Your words strike a cord within me and I want to shout from the roof tops 'I am grieving!!! I am not over anything!' I'm sorry to ramble. I'm sorry for your loss. Praying for you tonight. Molly, I am so sorry for the loss of your precious one, Felicity. I only just found your blog today.

One of my dear friends just gave birth to a baby girl at 22 weeks. They got to hold her, then she died. Another friend is 27 weeks pregnant with a baby girl who stopped growing at 16 weeks and won't live. My heart breaks for each one of you. I’m so sorry, Molly.

We lost our first child , Jeriah, this summer and are now expecting another little one in June. I found I was more aware than ever that Jeriah was not there, even though he wouldn't even have been born yet. Your blog has been a huge comfort and encouragement to me over these last few months.

His sister was born the next year (and another son was added TWELVE years later). Now there is another little Matthew toddling around. My daughter named her fourth child (her second boy) Matthew. They called and asked if "I would mind" if they named the newest boy Matthew. Mind? What an honor to a little boy who never knew what it was like to be held by his mother but went straight to our Lord.

My loss is different than yours but I have not been able to admit these feelings - a sense that I would be condemned as a believer. That is what I so appreciate about your blog - your honesty and yet your unwavering faith. Thanks for the encouragement and I have been praying for you throughout the months that I have been a silent reader. Thank you for putting into words something I have not been able to.

It's such a poignant description of grief. It has greatly tendered my heart. My prayer for you is that God would truly, miraculous heal your wound, even as He makes Felicity more and more vivid to you. I'm so, so sorry for your loss, Molly.
