I know that you are devastated, and that is perfectly understandable. I was a mess when my sister lost her baby, and I mostly felt bad for her because I knew it would tear her up. Just like you, she was a trooper. But it's something you never forget.<br /><br />Were you at church a few weeks ago to hear the sermon on grief? It was great. Maybe it would be helpful to listen to the message again (it should be on the website). And don't feel bad that you need to take all the time you have to. Take it easy!Mommy Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272248293460562006noreply@blogger.com
