Oh Susan, I wish I were able to say something that would help, but I know it's hopeless. I am so sad that you had to say goodbye to your precious, beautiful little girl. When Nate died, I was advised not to rush into a funeral - and it was good advice. My husband and I were able to come up with a simple but beautiful service for him that still gives me comfort when I think back to it.

Take it a day, an hour at a time.

Susan,
I really hate that you are here...because it is such a painful place at times, that those of us who have had a loss don't want anyone else to feel what we are feeling. I remember the next day after loosing Tyler as well, my father took me to the funeral home with my dh and I couldn't get across the street - the entire process, once inside, was a fog...my stepmother had to help me buy an outfit to wear - my family planned his funeral. Lean on those around you who offer and who are strong...it is times like this when we must be able to ask for help even if we don't want it.

I sent you an email as well......

Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Susan I am so sorry that you had to say goodbye to Corine. I am one of those who has been reading your updates and praying that Corine would pull through, but didnt feel able to post. I know just what you have been through as my Ellie had NEC but didnt survive long enough for the operation. I didn't want to post anything negative when Corine was fighting so hard.

As Melissa said, you did the right thing turning off the machines and letting Corine be at peace. I know that doesnt make it easier, and nobody should have to make that decision. Corine knew you and knew how much she was loved.

Your life will be changed forever, but Corine will always be a part of you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Susan, I am devestated that you had to join us in the pain of losing a baby, there are just too many of us. I wish I could take your pain away, you will probably be numb for a while, I still am, there are times when I think Kaitlyns death has really hit me but I dont think it quite has yet. Please know that we are here for you no matter what and my family and friends are all praying for you

Susan -

I am so sorry. There are just no words. It will all feel so surreal for awhile. Take each moment as it comes. There is no right or wrong way about any of this from this point on. Do what you feel you need to do to grieve.

Corine will be forever remembered. We are here for you.

Love,
Suz

Take Care,

Oh Susan, I am so so very sorry that you're here... I remember waking up the day after Zach died, not understanding how life could just go on...

I am so so sorry, I wish I had the right words for you. Please know that we will all be here for you, however you need us and as much as you need us. Grief can be very lonely, please know that you have women across the world here who love you and are praying for you.

Oh Susan, I am holding you so close to my heart right now, I wish I could be there in person.

Much love,
Julie
