Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Mike, I know this time is hard for you but now she is an angel looking down on you, taking care of you in ways you cannot see but you can feel. I am so sorry for your loss and I am here if you need anything.

MIke and Steph, I am so sorry for your loss. Even though i never met Leah, the loss of a child is tragic. Remember, that some day God will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or pain. Your little girl will be waiting for you in heaven and you will be able to hold her in your arms. God bless you and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I can't even begin to imagine the heartbreak like the loss of a child. I know she's looking down from heaven wanting all the sadness her loved ones are experiencing to go away and remember all the happy and loving memories of her and her beautiful spirit. I know God is smiling and holding his newest angel.

Hello, I don't know you but feel your pain. I've also lost a child and know the pain and anger you're feeling. People will say many things to try and get you through this but only you & your husband can understand this feeling of emptiness in your hearts and life. I encourage you to get involed in a local support group for parents that have lost children. My child was stillborn so I never knew him outside of carrying him. That being said, I can only imagine how much more difficult this must be. Please consider the support groups offered, you will be amazed with the people you meet and the immediate connection you'll have. In time, as you start to live life, you will begin helping other families who will be suffering from the same pain & loss as you. Please & know you've been in my thoughts and prayers, Trust me, God is with you through this and will never leave you. Every little detail in life will be your precious Leah sending her love from our Heaven above.

Best Regards & God Bless,

June 28, 2011
