NO! I'm NOT "OK"

[sharon]

Keep telling it like it is Amy. We will all keep listening. We love you.

Big hugs to you. Wish I could give you a real hug. I am nearly in tears reading your vent. We are here for you. Glad you got that all out. You have to do that. Sorry today is really hard for you. You will have some good & some not so good. I have been thinking of you lots.

I'm so glad you feel safe here, to express how you feel, to rant and rave and cry and scream. That's what we're here for.
You won't ever be the same and you'll never be okay. And nothing anyone says or does or tries to do will ever change that.
You trying to look at the positive in this is a nice thought but you know it doesn't last long. There isn't anything positive. Your baby is gone and it's going to be a LONG time until you see her again. And that is NOT ok.

Love and hugs to you today and always, my friend.

Amy,
Thinking of you and praying for you especially hard today on this one month angelversary of your sweet Ariella's passing. I can't begin to imagine or pretend to know what you are feeling, but you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad you feel safe here, and you know you can always just let it out on us!

Be honest with people, know that it is ok to feel how you are feeling at each and every moment.

Hugs and prayers to you and your family!

Amy,

Thinking of you and your family today, on such a difficult day, of missing Ariella Grace.

{{{{Love and Hugs}}}}

Glad you feel safe here to cry, vent, and express your emotions, grieve, etc. We are here for you, whatever you need, just ask.

Glad you and dh were able to hold a baby at Thanksgiving. Hope it helped to feel comforted and loved by a little one. (No, not by any means at all, of replacing Ariella.)

May you feel loved thru this very difficult time. My heart is breaking for you and your family.

((((Hugs))))) I don't have words of wisdom that these incredible ladies haven't already said. I think about you often, and will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you all so much....where would I be without a place to spill it all!?!?!

I barely got any sleep last night. I think I finally fell asleep around 3:30 this morning, then woke up at 7 for work. So, more than anything I'm just tired today. But I'm so very thankful I have you all to help me get through <3 <3 <3

[katie]

Thinking and praying for you today Amy and will continue to.

I shared your story yesterday with my friend whose son died during birth. At lunch today she told me she couldn't stop thinking of you and is holding you in her thoughts and prayers.

[nevaehsmom327]

Aww, thank you bunsy. She will be in mine as well. How heartbreaking.

[Susan824]

Obviously we cannot take away your pain, but we can listen. Glad you have such a safe place to be real and express how you feel.

Sometimes when I'm experiencing a sleepless night or an overwhelming feeling, I ask God to take my burden from me at that point in time. Please bring a peaceful feeling to allow me to get the rest I need for the next day. While it's not a long-term solution, it's those moments of relief that can help you recharge enough to get by for now.

<3 I'll continue to pray for you.
