A Realization Moment
I finally realized why I have a fascination with reading blogs about families that have lost a child. It is easier to feel pain for others' loss than feel my own loss. I am very much afraid of feeling to much of my own pain. Maybe it is part of the grieving process; maybe it is that mothering instinct; maybe I am just weird. I do know I was going to continue writing, yet a Texas storm has decided to start. It is hailing and making me anxious. So I think I will tackle my feelings later and go watch the news to watch out for tornadoes. Oh, spring time in Texas is upon us.

Hi Debbie!
My name is Emily and I am a friend of Kim's. My baby girl has been in Heaven for a little more than nine months now, and writing has been my outlet for a long time before that. I'm so glad you met Kim and that you have decided to let the world in on the sacred journey you are walking. I am honored to pray for you, to see the face of your sweet baby, and to walk alongside on you on this road of grief and hope that lies ahead.
I found you through a link of a link (funny how that happens!) and just wanted to let you know that I find myself doing the same thing. I lost my little girl to a fatal birth defect (anencephaly) on Sept. 6, 2007. I think that reading other people's stories somehow makes me feel a little more "normal" in dealing with the emotions I go through. It also shows me that we are all really strong people who can survive even the most horrible of experiences. Thinking of you...
