I remember that feeling. When everything was "over" (we know it is never really over)I continued to feel lonely. Those who sent cards and reached out did so. But days even months later, I still wanted to talk to process, to cry to be supported. I did not want to overwhelm others. There are days that I had a very lonely existence. It was just me and the grief. I want you to know that there are many of us who are still here for you. We are not done talking to you and supporting you. I am always here, and I hope you know that. If you need to talk, cry or just have someone listen, I am here. I wish we were closer so I could offer my hugs but you know that my arms are extending to you over the miles. My heart is with you....Always

Paige, Scott, and Cayden ~ Sarah and I read, reread, and reread again your postings each day of Cayden's precious life. We cried and held each other, we said prayers in yours and his name. Our admiration, love, and empathy for you two amazing parents knows no bounds. God and the stars certainly blessed Cayden with those who would do right by his life and his enduring memory. As hard as it is to open your hearts and widen the circle to include all of us, I thank you sincerely for sharing your family journey - I believe that Cayden, you, and certainly we are the better for it. You have been in our thoughts, our prayers, our conversation, hopes, and I daresay fears. I cannot comprehend your family journey -- how could anyone -- but I am all the better, all the more human, all the more grateful, ashamed, and hopeful because you have trusted us, included us, in your lives. Godspeed, much love, and peace to you,
I think of you often. I am moved by your strength to write. Your story is being heard and I'm sure it is such a comfort for other moms who've lost babies.
