Travels
So I am going to Alberta after all! I am very happy to be able to be with the Wilson's for Casey's birthday. Kathy has shared how happy she is I will be with her for that day. I really have no idea how to handle these first "anniversaries", but I'll do the best I can. All I can go on is my own feelings as a mother, and rely on God to give me strength and wisdom. How do you get through the first birthday after your child has gone? Anyone have any experience? Share away if you do! Pleeeeaaaase! I will be in AB late the 5th of Nov till the afternoon of the 9th. Please lift us all up in your prayers! Oh, and a bit of financial advice....buy stock in Kleenex!!!

awwwww all you can do is what your already doing. Being a friend and a shoulder to cry on is the best thing.
How old would she have been?
sorry for being nosey.
My close friend went through the same thing. Her son was born with swelling on the brain, lived a week and then passed away. She struggled when it came to his 1st birthday as well because a week later was is anniversary of being with the Lord. All I can suggest is be a good listener. and give lots of hugs.
Praying for you guys!

Oh Traci, that is such an important thing you're going to do! Being there and crying with her is all and the best you can do, and you're going to be doing it.
I also had a friend who lost her baby who only lived nearly a week. We cried with them, prayed with them, and thanked God for the short time we got to be with the little guy.
Words are so inadequate. I don't think we're supposed to like death. We were meant for eternity. In mourning, though, it is a matter of the heart and the mind cannot wrap itself around it. So you being there will be the best thing.
I'll be praying for you, my friend.
It would have been Casey's 16th birthday. But I didn't get to go...read in new blog post.
