Wow - your story is every parents' nightmare. I am sooo incredibly sorry for your loss and to hear of your family's suffering. I followed some of your entries in Kate Hrischuk's guestbook and just had to learn more about the loss of this precious child. My whole being aches for you. I pray for your strength!!

Karen, I hope that you never feel that you should not be who you are now. Nobody expects you to be happy go lucky, you just went through a loss that most cannot even fathem. To say that you wonder if you have one or two children is not even a question in my mind. I know that you get sick of repeating the story because it is so much agony. You, however, are the mother of two beautiful girls and no matter what that will never change. You spent five wonderful years being a mother to Leah and I think you should feel like an angel yourself just for that reason. When I see you I expect to see sadness in your face because you are learning a new life and it was not a life that you would have chosen had you had a choice. I hope that people don't make you feel like you have to put a game face on, we want you to be able to be who you are now and if that means calling up crying or yelling then so be it. Leah will help you in her own little way to get you through life and maybe you do not know what that way is yet(someday you will, I just know it) but it will happen. I guess for now that is all. Know that I think of you everyday and all of these families of these children. WHAT CAN WE DO???? I will help you at anytime with your new venture just call and I will be there. Love to you, Trina, Noah, Julianne and DOO DOO P.S. Noah and I will take Kylie any night and you and Phil can enjoy a nice dinner or night out. Please take us up on our offer!!!!

It's astounding isn't it that people expect those who are grieving to move through the process quickly. It may take years for you to figure out how to process all the hurt, anger, confusion and sorrow. Ecclesiastes 3 says.... "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven......(vs. 4)a time to mourn". This is your time, your families' time to mourn. There's no rush, no right or wrong way to grieve, no time frame. You do what you have to do to move forward. If that means spending days crying, questioning, yelling, and days in utter despair, then do it. It's your time to mourn. I'm praying that God will bring healing people into your life, people that will encourage you to express your sorrow and walk beside you down your unimaginable path. I hear your words, I hear your pain.

Karen, just stopping by to let you know I am thinking of all of you today. I know Wednesdays are tough days for you. I am sure Leah loved the celebration of her life that you had on her birthday. People that think you are going "to get over it" do not understand grief. All any of you can do is take it one day at a time, putting one foot in front of the other hoping that as time goes on there will be more smiles and less tears. We are also a Ford family and I hope everything works out for you. More stress you do not need right now. Prayers for Peace, Comfort, and More Signs from Leah.

Karen One day at a time is all you can do. People don't mean to be intentionally insenstive (well most) Just don't engage their brains before opening their mouths. Thinking of you as I hear news of the Ford restructering. Here in Australia it would seem so distant but knowing that you work for them makes it personal. Take care - in my prayers and thoughts.
