How do you say thank you to people who sit with you when you grieve? Who stock your kitchen with food, treats, and your favorite ice cream? Who send flowers and cards? Who call every day to check in on you and your husband?
On Sunday, Mike and I lost our baby. It has been the saddest, most traumatic thing I have ever experienced. I wasn't going to write about it here, didn't have the words to say to express how I felt - and to be candid, I still don't have those words.
What I do know, is that we have been surrounded by love, kindness and friends who faced our grief with compassion and real heart. It is much easier to avoid people at their worst moments - to let them work through it alone. But for those of you who extended your hearts to us, who let us cry on your shoulder, who sat with us in our darkest hour....
Thank you.
Angie and Mike.

Angie,
You two have been in my thoughts since I found out and I'm awful and saying the the right thing in such painful times. But please know that you both have been in my thoughts and prayers. Lots of love to both of you.

What a horrible thing - I am so sorry for you both. Words will never be enough but it sounds like you have lots of love and support around you that I hope will help you through the pain.
Another long time lurker sending your hugs, hugs, and more hugs.
4 years ago we lost an anticipated adoption the night before we were suppose to bring the newborn home. It was completely devastating! I thought my entire world was gone.
Know that time does wonders. Keep your chin up and do something special for yourserlf (like a pedi or get your hair styled). It doesn't feel the void, but it feels pretty darn good.
