I do not wish to share this post.

Dear Abby's Mom,

What you are going through and feeling is completely normal. I had days just like this after I lost my Snoops and truth be told sometimes I still have not so good days and he has been gone a year and a half. It is hard to be happy when your heart is breaking. Just take it one day at a time and you will find that the days do get better. It is true that time heals. If you need to cry then cry ... this is your minds way of working through the grief and hurt.

Wish I could just wrap you up in a big hug and take some of the hurt away but know it does get easier.

Hugs,
Beth

Dear Abby's Mommy,

I am right there with you. I know how much it hurts. Yesterday I was sitting on the floor of my closet crying under my husband's shirts. (My little daughter was already asleep in bed.)

Right now I am just hoping that each time we cry we get a little closer to feeling better some day. Maybe we just keep thinking we have reached the bottom of our grief but, then wait, no, there's still more to work through. Enough people have told me it gets better that I have to believe that.....even though it's so hard to.

I have a card with a quote on it from Winston Churchill that says:

"If you're going through hell, keep going." Keep going. wub.gif

Abby was so lucky to have you.

I am having one of my worst days yet. Abby has been gone 11 weeks.

There are things going on in my family that are not sad things and should be happy things for me but I am in the depths of pain today. I can't stop crying for Abby, I can't sometimes get my breath. I am sobbing and sobbing and in so much pain for her today. It's just like when we lost her. The pain is so bad. I'd give my life to have her back.

Somehow you will get thru today my friend. Please use all of us here to help ease your pain. We all understand the depth of your love & are here if you need a shoulder to cry on. We have good days & bad days & are here to help each other get thru the rough spots in our grief.
My love to you & Abby too

I would love to be able to reach across the computer and give you a big hug. I am so sorry that you are having such a horrible day. I am going to put a quote on here of the words I said to you on the first day you posted. I was here at LS trying to find comfort for my Snookie's coming death. While seeking help for my Snookie our Chili Bean passed away. Oh what I wouldn't give to have my girls back too.

These words still hold true the same as they did the day I wrote them to you when you lost your sweet Abby.

Maybe it seems and feels to you as though God has left you but He has not. You have stated that you are christian people so I feel I can say to you call upon Jesus to give you strength to go on when it feels you can't take another step and your heart is broken and shattered beyond repair.

Then when the tears fall, whisper His Name and let Him wipe them away and bring you comfort that He alone can bring. When you are so broken and can't speak the words to Him your tears will speak for you. The Bible says He bottles all your tears you have ever cried and what a comfort to know He cares about us so very much.

Love, Ann

Dear Abby's Mommy,
So very sorry to hear you are having a bad day. Our babies leave such a gaping hole in our lives & we miss them so very much when they are gone. We just have to take one day at a time & it can be a long process, involving ups & downs. The down days are so painful when all we want is to have our babies back. We are all here for you. My thoughts are with you.
Big, big hugs,
Elsie

Dear Abby's Mommy,

I'm so sorry you're having one of your worst days. You have to believe that in time, the hurt won't be as great. You'll always long for your sweet Abby but hopefully, you'll be able to focus on your happy memories and not be so heartbroken. This is a terrible thing to go through. We're all here for you.

Thinking of you and wishing you strength.

Love,
Lynn

Dear Abby's Mommy,
I am so sorry you are having such a hard day.
I know those days...when the loss feels so brand new....
I'm not sure why it happens, but I've had a couple myself.
My heart goes out to you.
Praying tomorrow will be better and you'll feel stronger.
Love, Fran

Abby's mommy-
sometimes when good things are happening around us, we miss our little ones the most, as we would want them to share in our happiness. You miss your girl and want her to be with you through bad times and good. She is looking down on you and smiling because you were the best mommy to her while she was on earth. I know it will get better. Hang on and try to ride it out...

Thinking of you...Caroline

Dear Abby's Mommy:

{{{{{{{{{{ sad.gif }}}}}}}}}} Here's a big HUG for you......

I am very sorry that today has been a bad day for you!!
Your sweet girl Abby has only been gone for 11 weeks, and that's not a long
time at all...The pain is still very RAW!!

I know that there are times when things seem "okay --- today is not too bad",
but then the awful pain comes back full force, and it feels like day one again...

Unfortunately, this is the way that this painful journey called "grieving" goes....and,
IT STINKS...

But, I know that Abby would want her sweet mommy to be happy..... wub.gif

My Ernestine used to get very upset when I was crying, or when I was sad,
and she'd come to me and love me, give me kisses...........until my tears dried.....

Was Abby like that with you???

Please.......take it a minute at a time.....an hour........Sometimes I could only
manage "baby steps", because I would fall apart frequently.....

You're in my prayers, and I hope that perhaps now you are asleep, and having
happy dreams.....

God Bless You!

Love, Denise xo
