The way to treat a Mother who is grieving
I was sent this poem by a dear friend who also lost her baby not to long ago.  I wanted to share it with you all.  The way to treat a Mother who is grieving Please Be Gentle By Jill B. Englar Please be gentle with me for I am grieving. The sea I...
July 2, 2009 - 7:30 pm - sarah...thank you for sharing this. as someone who has also experienced loss, i know just how true this poem is. when we lost our baby(ies), i didn't want to talk to anyone. if i wanted to cry, i'd cry. if i wanted to lay in all day, i did. the one constant in my life was/is my husband. i couldn't be more than one room away from him or i'd go crazy. i would not have survived had it not been for him. he & i (along with our families) helped each other get through some of the most difficult times. and, i know you & taylor have such a strong bond & such a great family support system to survive this. and, the poem is right...there's no wrong way or right way to grieve. you have to grieve in your own way...whatever that might be. but, i have faith that you'll find your way through this loss...with God's help. i have been praying, am praying & will continue to pray for you, taylor & your families.
July 3, 2009 - 6:25 am - Sarah, I checked your blog this morning because I knew that time was drawing near for your precious one to arrive. How deeply saddened I am to learn of your loss. As I watched the slideshow, my heart broke for you and your husband. I know that as a firm believer in our Lord, you are leaning on Him for your strength and understanding. I pray this morning that you find comfort with Taylor and feel His mighty presence this morning. I will continue to pray for both of you so that the sun will shine again in your eyes. It is such a blessing to me to see you praising the Lord in your storm. Thank you.
July 3, 2009 - 8:49 am - How beautiful and perfect. I'm so glad you shared this.
July 4, 2009 - 9:38 pm - Sarah! Oh my goodness, my heart is aching for you right now. I will be praying for you that God will show His mercy through this heavy season. Let His face shine on you and bring you peace.
July 5, 2009 - 8:32 am - Sarah- You did pictures for us a few years ago, but I heard about your loss through Heather Owens and Just keep thinking of you and praying for you. I mentioned a site to her and don't know if she had a chance to pass it on. It's silentgrief.com. I hope this helps. We are praying for you and hope today is a good day!
July 5, 2009 - 11:26 am - Hello Sarah, I am Crystal's aunt (Her father, Lacey, is my brother). I have just logged in to her blog today and discovered the sad news. I wanted you to know that I am praying for you and your family and I extend my sincere sympathy.
July 11, 2009 - 4:11 pm - Sarah, I was so sorry to hear about your and Taylor's loss. I know there are no words that can make the sorrow go away. I do want you to know I am praying for you and your precious family. I worked with Penny at Pine Forest long ago. May God's love give you strength and courage to get through this.
July 18, 2009 - 2:17 pm - this poem is so true. You WILL find your path through this grief.
Another Early Morning
I have been waking up very early every morning and I walk around this quiet house wondering what to do. Â I have found comfort in a hot cup of coffee and my deck. Â It is so peaceful early in the morning. Â I just sit and pray to God that He will help us get through...
July 1, 2009 - 7:52 am - I know that there must be so much sadness and pain in you right now, but your words are so encouraging to me. I can really feel the strength you and Taylor have and I know that you will get through each day only getting stronger and stronger. It is so peaceful to know where Mamie is and that we will all see her one day healthier than ever imagined!
July 1, 2009 - 8:03 am - Sarah and Taylor, We are thinking of you!
July 1, 2009 - 8:03 am - You and Taylor are incredible and the most brave people I've ever known.

July 1, 2009 - 9:10 am - Sarah - I have not had the pleasure of meeting you but I grew up and went to school with Taylor in Dumas. I follow your blog and love your work.

July 1, 2009 - 12:03 pm - We continue to pray endlessly for you and Taylor. It makes me smile to know that you are finding comfort in the simplest of things. And it makes me thankful that you and Taylor have such overwhelming support and encouragement during these times. I know today will be hard. I am thinking of you always, and I love you dearly.
July 1, 2009 - 12:07 pm - You are in our thoughts and prayers. The slideshow is precious!
July 1, 2009 - 12:57 pm - You are both beyond strong. The strength you get from your faith to deal with this experience truly is inspirational. Mark and I pray for your family every night.
July 1, 2009 - 1:38 pm - Your strength and faith are AMAZING! May God continue to comfort you and bring you peace!
July 1, 2009 - 2:59 pm - I am thinking of you both and your families and praying for you constantly that you will find the strength to face each day. I am so proud of how brave you both are and how strong. This has to be the hardest thing in life to go through and I am amazed by your love and faith.
July 1, 2009 - 4:44 pm - Sarah and Taylor--we are praying that you will feel God's arms wrapped around you. Your slideshow was so touching and the song was beautiful. Mamie is in a wonderful place with Jesus to take care of her.
July 1, 2009 - 7:22 pm - Sarah and Taylor, May God continue to give you strength. Mamie is a beautiful little angel and you two are certainly an inspiration to many others. I will continue to pray for God to give you strength. Pratt's grandmother
July 1, 2009 - 7:26 pm - Sarah and Taylor, you are in our constant prayers.
July 1, 2009 - 11:01 pm - Oh, Sarah. I am overcome with grief for you and Taylor. I am so, so sorry.
July 2, 2009 - 12:02 am - sarah -- i have been thinking of you and taylor since brit told me the news. my heart is heavy and i hope that you can find some peace. much love from jackson hole!
July 2, 2009 - 7:20 am - Sarah and Taylor, Right now I think about you first thing every morning and last thing at night before I go to bed...and most of the time in between. You will continue to be in my prayers as will your parents, Britney,and the rest of your loved ones, because I know this is a heart-wrenching time for all of you. I'm thankful for your strong faith and your wonderful family and friends. You are loved and prayed for by so many. Kim Perkins
July 2, 2009 - 10:15 am - "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness." I know the Lord's love and mercies will hold you in a new way this early morning and every other. Praying for you!
July 2, 2009 - 10:36 am - Sarah and Taylor, You don't know me, but my in-laws are Cissy's neighbors and Jason and Taylor grew up together. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you cope with your sadness. Your strength is amazing and we are so glad that you shared the beautiful pictures of Mamie. That beautiful little baby girl will live forever in your hearts.
July 2, 2009 - 11:30 am - The stillness of the morning is the most innocent time with God, after that the world tries to get in the way. I belive we are born as little angels - Silas knows... He is probably more connected to her than we can imagine. You, Taylor and the rest of your family are continuously in my heart and on my mind.
July 2, 2009 - 2:25 pm - Sarah, I have been praying for you this past week and my heart breaks for ya'll. Know that even though I have not seen you in years and live all the way across the country (Oregon, of all places!) you are thought of and covered in prayer. Know how loved you are, baske in that during this time as it is obvious how loved you are by all. I know there are no words during this time of loss. But I praise Him that you feel closer than ever to Him as you mentioned in your recent post. And I will be praying for your marriage, that you both will cling to the other and not let this tear you apart but only bring you closer to one another and the Lord. Praying.
July 2, 2009 - 6:38 pm - Sarah and Taylor, I know you don't know me but I have been praying for you over the last several days. I am Crystal's future sister-in-law and I spoke with her the morning after Mamie arrived. God has laid this child and your family on my heart, and I want you to know that my heart aches for you. I can't imagine the pain that you are going through right now, but I know a God who understands everything you are feeling. I know He is with you and will continue to comfort you. Turn all your pain over to Him and He will guide you and Taylor through this terrrible tragedy. She was absolutely gorgeous. I know you will rejoice in heaven one day when you see her again. God bless you and your family and know that you are being lifted up to God. Love in Christ, Anna
July 3, 2009 - 9:55 pm - My love and prayers are with you. Just keep leaning on God during this difficult time. Praying for you now in these difficult days.
July 4, 2009 - 6:50 am - Only God could create parental love. It is truly powerful and mysterious. I hear it in your voice and I know it lives within you. With continued prayers for healing, comfort, and tender memories.
July 9, 2009 - 7:55 pm - I am so inspired by your ability to find comfort in the Lord. I hope you find comfort with Him and each other. I will continue to pray for you.
July 13, 2009 - 6:22 pm - Dear Sarah, I'm sure you don't remember me, but I have met you several times during my friends and families weddings. I just wanted you to know how much your story has touched this community. People you don't even know are praying for you and crying with you. Your faith, strength, and grace is an example to us all who have been through tragedies.
September 24, 2009 - 2:00 pm - Dear Sarah, If I had known this was here earlier...I would have visited. Praise God for so faithfully being with you and your family during your loss and with each day that has followed. I am utterly speechless...my heart broken to pieces, my soul feeling a heaviness that is unexplainable. I can't imagine your pain. Your walk with the LORD and your faith is shining through for all of us to see. What a testiment you are. I will continue to pray for you and I send you all my love. In His Grip, Heather Patterson
