All things considered, it sounds like you have a positive outlook on things. My grandmother once told me, "God doesn't give us more than we can handle". Although I'm sure this tests the limits, with His grace, he'll see you through.

I can only imagine the saddness of losing a child. It is amazing how much love you can have at the onset of a pregnancy. It is God's gift....love. I know you will be fabulous parents in the future and I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you two during this time.

I can totally relate to what you and Holli are going through as I had a miscarrage almost 2 years ago now. As tough as it is now, I promise it will get easier with time...as for how much time, everyone is different. If I can give you any piece of advice - just hold Holli whenever she needs to cry (even if it is a month or two from now). Mike didn't like to see me sad, but there were days I just needed to cry it out. So be that shoulder for Holli to lean on. After our miscarriage we found out that I had some issues and had to go through 8 months of fertility in order to conceive Wyatt - but now we have a beautiful little one to hold in our arms - and I have faith in the Lord that you and Holli will have this same luck in the future. Your letter was inspiring and I admire you for sharing those special thoughts with us. Take care and please know you and Holli are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourselves. -Courtney Miles– I am SO sorry to hear this sad news. I can totally relate to what you and Holli are going through as I had a miscarrage almost 2 years ago now.

I lost a child in a similar fashion. It's been a little over 3 years now. While I can say it gets easier with the passing of time, not a week goes by that I don't see a little one around the age that my child would be, had it been what was meant to be, and I get that sinking sensation in the pit of my stomach (flushed with memories and emotions stemming from that exciting new pregnancy phase and all the best laid plans and hopes for our child's future). I do know and believe though that this is all part of some grand design and that our pain is not unjustified (although when it happens it never seems fair or right). My thoughts will be with you both and I can only hope that my child, albeit a bit older, will befriend / look out for and help your sweet little one adjust to a new, perfect life. I'm always available to talk if it could help. 507.226.2009 or email. Some know, most don’t. I lost a child in a similar fashion. It’s been a little over 3 years now.

Hard to celebrate but God has his reasons. The pain will subside, but always believe God has a plan and we don't have to understand it or even like it but like you said Miles and it is one of my favorite sayings and I don't know whether it was Grandpa Miles or GG..."that which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!" love you both and that baby will be joined with other family members we have never met.

All I can say is that in my case the darkness became light and I have a deeper love and appreciation for the child that I have now, because I felt the loss of one that couldn't be. I pray you and Holli will experience that to. A new day, a new year, a new hope for you both.
