People should not say those things out loud. It only evokes anger. Prayers for you and little Maggie.Ms. N.

Thank you for writing this, as you are a wonderful writer, and it is helpful to read such an honest and personal account. Nothing compares to the loss of a child, or a pregnancy. I would have felt a lot less alone and less like a crazy person had I found something like this to read after our miscarriage, and I know this will help other moms too. Josh and I think of you often and hope you keep writing. We will be praying for you all!Abigail Albrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358352863020856128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726545155255674256.post-4228946603214984252011-06-01T23:12:16.726-05:002011-06-01T23:12:16.726-05:00Well, by now you must know I am one of your stalke...Well, by now you must know I am one of your stalkers! ;) You've been on my prayer list for quite some time now and will continue to be.

You will definite...I admit, I'm a stalker too. You will definitely remain in my prayers, as you have been since I first found your blog. You are such a strong woman and wonderful mama. Maggie is so lucky to be your daughter. And I wanted to just acknowledge the guilt you are feeling. You know there is nothing you could have done differently to change the outcome. Of course it isn't your fault. But I totally understand how you feel that way. Noah was born with a very rare birth defect that has meant several very major surgeries and probably more throughout his life. It will alter his life in many very big ways as he grows up. And while it's not the same thing, I know that, I do understand the feeling of guilt. I have thought a thousand gazillion times (as he gets wheeled away for an 8 hour surgery, as he is sad about how he is "different" from other kids, as I have to fight him daily to catheterize him...), what could I have done to save him from this? Surely it was that margarita I had when I had no idea I was pregnant. Uggh. It's a terrible feeling. And even though a thousand people can tell you it's not your fault, you are the mama, so you feel responsible. That's our job I guess. To feel responsible for our kids, right? So, your feelings are completely OK, and valid. And it sucks to feel like that. I will be praying for peace for you Rachel...and all the other things too. Much love.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01569139526422284674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726545155255674256.post-53530651857733871012011-06-01T20:55:09.639-05:002011-06-01T20:55:09.639-05:00Praying hard for you and your husband, Rachel!

My mom, my friend who recently lost her little girl, many people are lifting your family up in prayer. You are an amazing mama. <br />Hugs,<br />Jo Ann (your sister's OLD college roommate)gapgirl03https://www.blogger.com/profile/15106638577293488385noreply@blogger.com
