Sue Hi,

A girlfriend of mine recommended my website to you, and I just read this….I’m so sorry for your loss, I started a group on facebook after losing my mum as I hadn’t known anyone personally that had lost someone adn the response I got on it was amazing, then when I lost my baby a year later, I took that group outside of facebook and started my own blog…..it takes a lot of strength to pour your emotions out for others to read and I can see that it helps you too, at least that’s what I get……take care….

I can't even imagine the wide range of emotions you've had to deal with as a result. Your wife was so incredibly beautiful, and your daughter looks like a little carbon copy of her. What an amazing way to keep her mama's memory alive and to work through your own pain as well. Thank you for having the courage to share your story with -- I'm sure it's very comforting for other people who have experienced similar losses.

I said "Oh" though my hand never touched my throat it was there. Then I said: "oh Shit" and felt ashamed about complaining about my dirty house. I can not wait to take this journey with you. I hope I don't sound selfish. I felt connected after you warned about "bad words" Found your blog thru Jill's blog: the Heartbreak diary I read your post.

I cannot even imagine losing my other half at any time, let alone during the time which should be full of only joy... With a 14 month old girl ourselves, we know the work involved in the day to day, and we also know the love that a child brings to your heart. It is clear your love for your little girl drives you, and as a result you are an amazing father, and I have no doubt you are raising an equally amazing little girl. Madeline is the most incredibly beautiful shining light, and you are an incredible, incredible man. Thank you for your honesty in your blog - I always enjoy reading it and it never fails to remind me to appreciate what I have, and to take nothing for granted. If you happen to be in Australia at anytime let us know and the girls can have a play date :) Sending buckets of love from Australia, Alicia, Chris & Grace Shoolman xo Matt, we saw your story on the Oprah show and it bought my husband and I to tears.

I was taken by your story. I am sorry for your loss... My Dad also lost his wife when I was just 2 months old. My mom collapsed over my crib just a few days after getting out of the hospital. She went back to the hospital and never came out again. Died of ovarian cancer. My Dad had a 2 month old and a 2 year old. We all survived. He remarried. We ended up in a family of 5 kids. My Dad did love again...and they were together until my Dad died in 2003. Wishing you love again.... I came her from Mama Kat’s. I was taken by your story. I am sorry for your loss…

My daughter was born via c-section just 9 months after your little Madeline was born & I just love her so much. Well, I like so many others will keep you & your family in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your life & love.

I would like to share with you our recent loss. I am a pedicatric nurse in Seattle we had a fantastic nurse on our floor who was on Medical leave/bedrest felt dizzy at home while brushing her teeth and collapsed had a seizure and was intubated and on life support. They decided to take the baby via c-section and little Hannah was born as perfect as her mother could have even pictured. My dear friend Maricris has an anyuresium. I'm sad to say that this fantastic woman who gave her heart and hands to heal children will never get to see her own. Felt cathartic to share. Good luck to you and yours.
