So, this is the first time I'm getting to say this, but I've wanted to post this after every entry!...your strength just amazes and inspires me. I get so much out of your blog, and it's entries like this, that I wish I had something to offer to you...some piece of inspiration or advice. So, instead, I'll continue to keep you, Kate, and Pater in my thoughts. I really hope you have some peace come to you sometime very soon-you so richly deserve it. <br />I'm sure the playground is going to be amazing. Kate and Peter are so blessed to have you as their Mommy.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123373548687371580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-32921062689246540842010-02-20T21:46:05.387-05:002010-02-20T21:46:05.387-05:00Amy,Iknow everyone is writing in to hang in there ...Amy,Iknow everyone is writing in to hang in there it will get easier bla bla bla but the truth is it may not.I don't want to depress you when this site helps keep you going, but everyone writes in saying in time it will get better. No one really knows that. And to have a loss as big as you did seems impossible that it will ever get better. They were your children, the loves of you life and even though it may never get easier I just had to tell you that I think your absolutely amazing for going on at all.I can not imagine what it would be like but I do know I could never be as strong as you. You amaze me and I do not even know you. I am addicted to reading how you are and you and your children are on my mind constantly. I pray for you and pray that I never have to face what you are. It is so inspiring that you are building a playground in their memory. I cannot wait to see it.I do think it would be best if you were not alone. After reading all the posts you had to be a wonderful mother and you deserve to be again. Another child could never replace your children but you were meant to be a mom and deserve to be again. Any child would be lucky to have a mother like you and I just hope and pray your able to get there again someday. You deserve all the best and just do not rule out being a wife or amazing mother again someday. You deserve it all and I pray someday you will find peace and a reason to go on. Being alone will only make things worse. You need and deserve someone to share your lift with. I am not going to say it will get easier or better because no one can know that will happen. You will be the only one to say if it gets better or easier. I along with many others will pray that it does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-57653635877828878602010-02-19T20:41:12.134-05:002010-02-19T20:41:12.134-05:00Ah,..... geeze....

Can you try to find one thing that is a good reason to get out of bed every day.... even if it's small? (lunch with a friend, cooking class since you love to cook, volunteering to help someone else that doesn't take away the time you need to help yourself)? I love your posts. I draw strength from you because you are a strong woman (that's obvious to me and many others), I enjoy hearing about your children, and I close my computer and feel as if my priorities have been suddenly put in the right order. Peace and hugs to you.

Seriously, I have been through some tough times, but NOTHING that could compare what you went through - and you exhibit the most grace, strength and composure of anyone I can think of. I just know that your two angels are so proud of you. And we are all proud of you, too. Not that that makes you feel better, necessarily, but just know that you make SO many of us proud.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your life with us, Amy... Praying for you!Kate C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175052726850101879.post-61601752924800628932010-02-19T16:46:44.113-05:002010-02-19T16:46:44.113-05:00The darkest hour is just before dawn.

So, hang in there and keep putting one foot in front of the other. The playground will be such a wonderful tribute to your precious little angels. Focus on that...on breathing...on remembering that many, many people who you know and don't know care tremendously. Keep "talking" to us.

I think the entire first year after losing someone is extremely difficult - a year of painful "firsts". After that, the milestones, "marking" or measuring the fact that you are not spending time with them in body (though, in spirit - we know that's a different story :-), are gone; what's left then is different... the new life begins. You are such a good mother; I can't imagine the hole you are experiencing right now -the grief. Sending you strength for another day, week, month.....
