I was just reading through some of Job last night and and really feeling challenged on how to be there for someone in an encouraging way as they experience loss. Job's friends seriously missed the mark and he was so hurt by them...I was pondering this and then stumbled across your blog. Perfect! Thank you for being upfront about these things. I'm sorry (as I'm sure are many) for anything that I've done or not done to love you well in this process. We want to know how to love you well!<br />Also, info on the love shower for me too, please!

I have had two miscarriages since Hallie (not trying to share a circumstance or to compare in any way...), but just to say that your suggestions for how to deal with grief and what people should and should not say are so right on! We all need to be free to walk through it in whatever way we can. Sometimes you don't really know what to say to someone until you've been there in the middle of that pain...and sometimes still there is just not anything anyone can say, really. I just wanted you to know that you and your precious family are in my prayers!
