I spent quite a bit of time reading Heather’s, the mom’s, many posts leading up the the truely sad moment of her daughter’s passing.. From what I read, it seems she, the daughter, was a true blessing to so many in the short time she was here.. There are the grandparents, family doctor, physical, close by friends, internet friends, a mix of both, etc. Also, if I understood correctly, it was nothing short of answered prayer that their darling girl made it out of the hospital in the 1st place. As heartbsealing as this all is, and I believe should be, what a blessing it must have been to have her in their lives those 17 short, wonderful, blessed months. God is, and can only be, good. Peace.

This is truly living a nightmare. The only thing that is of comfort is knowing..believing…our God cares more about Maddie and this family than we can imagine, and in some way that we cannot understand, this neither caught him by surprise nor is it in vain. But it’s still awful and my heart breaks and from a human perspective, I hate it for all touched by this life.

The outpouring of love and support from the blogosphere is blessing to me, too. I don’t really know why, but all of us using our words to honor this little life is precious.

What do I say? My heart hurts, but even more this Mother and Dad’s hurt, I cry, but even more they cry, I ask questions, even more they ask bigger questions. They are in my thoughts and Oh so many prayers.

Can’t seem to get that mother and family off of my mind. The hole that must be in her heart. I haven’t ever had children…so I can’t say I know how a mother feels, but I have lost someone I cared about very much…there really aren’t words to say at this point…just pray that God will wrap them in His arms and comfort them.

What an adorable little face! This is so hard to hear.

Lord, please comfort this family and give them hope (that they will see their baby again in a better land) and peace (in knowing that You are taking care of their little angel until then).

These are the kinds of stories I try hard not to read because they tear me up. Usually, there is nothing you can do….but this time is different….little as it is.

My heart is breaking for Heather and I certainly understand her grief. I went through the loss of a child due to premature delivery with my cousin who is like a sister. She lost one of the twins and the other one survived, and thanks to God, is still surviving today. However, she has several birth defects but is SUCH a joy to watch, hold and be around. They told us she would never walk but, with someone holding her arms, she can walk now. I was sobbing the day I saw her “walk”. I am an active supporter of March of Dimes so I will do what I can.

You nailed it, she has become a part of my heart as well. Tears effectively forming, prayers being proffered.

OOOHHH! My heart hurts just thinking about this.
No words of wisdom. Just prayers for this poor family.
