My advice to you Matt is the only thing that will help you is u have to get all the grieving out of your system before it will get any better so the people that are telling you it takes time are right. i lost several children at birth and it has been 21 and 18 years since they left me . It does get easier but you never forget. I still cry for them on there birthdays.

Matt, I first heard your story on Rachel Ray. I felt like i needed to reach out to you for some reason(which alot of people do ) when I saw you, I could almost feel pain in my heart. I am sensitive to the spiritual world in certain ways. my husband and i are the same age as u and liZ was, I have an 8 month old girl born June 13 2008, few months after Maddy. When I read about your dreams, I feel I need you to know that those dreams are happening for a reason. Its not only a part of the grieving process, but LiZ may be trying to connect with you. I uderstand its upsetting , but this is Something very important. I hope you dont think im crazy. i would love to be able to explain more, but this is very private. and I would like to be able to help give you some peace., this is still very raw right now for you. You are on this earth Raising Maddy for a reason. And liz is right there beside the both of you. And you need to know that, she is so very proud. You Are Heart and soul Matt always know that.!

I wanted to thank you for your site and the foundation. My 39 year old aunt has been the ICU at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks, ND since Friday, fighting for her life after a clot in her lung. All of this waiting is so hard for everyone. I get mad, I cry, and I read your story. Donating to Liz’s Foundation gave me a purpose after feeling so helpless, and I needed that. Thanks again, and I’ll see you again on the 7th of next month.

Dreams are mysterious. They come and go — I’d have welcomed more in the early days although there’s only one which I really remembered.

Thinking about her all the time is something you’ll have to learn to master, because it’s not going to go away. And in the long run, I think that’s good news, actually, since you wouldn’t want to forget, even if remembering less than a thousand times an hour might help you get more done.

Spirits up.

i lost someone i loved in a plane crash, never saw it coming and it was very hard to get over. i was pissed that he was taken from me. i never had a dream of him, but i swear his voice woke me up one morning last year. i heard a man’s voice call my name, clear as day, and i woke straight up thinking it was my husband, only to find the room empty. it wasn’t connected to my dream, just someone calling my name. i like to think it was him just letting me know he was there and ok, sounds corny, but it made me feel better. i did have dreams, lots of them, after my grandfather died and i didn’t get to tell him goodbye. they were weird dreams of him and i couldn’t ever catch him to talk to him, they were horrible and i hated having them. i finally had one good one with him and i finally was able rest. i can’t imagine the pain you are going through but know there are lots of people out here praying for you and your little girl.

Hi Matt! I know what you mean by keeping you busy!! My 11 month old is into everything! Just wanted to say thank you for sharing yourself with the world! If you ever want a get away to Yosemite, you are welcome in our guest cottage! My daughter, Juniper could us a playmate. There is only one other baby here (in our 650 people town) and he is a boy and pretty rough! I know it is weird to get offers from strangers but i think you and my husband would love going and taking photos together. Take care! Erica and Juniper

Look Matt, it’s very hard to say anything about your situation, since I have not been in your shoes. I’m a longtime reader, and really admire you for going at this alone, Liz must be soo proud of you, and the job your doing!
I know it must be soo sad, but I would interpret the dreams as Liz being there for you and Maddy, cheering you on and being there for moral support!

You have a beautiful family!

I lost my first love to brain cancer almost 12 years ago. I dreamt of him every night for years. It was very hard to wake up and realize once again, that he was gone. It was torturous. The dreams got fewer and further between as the years went by. Now I welcome those dreams. It’s not torture anymore, it’s nice to see him again.

I had alot of dreams about my Father, about a year after he died unexpectedly. They for the most part have stopped, however (51/2 years later) I do still have a dream with him in it, but now it is no different than my dreams that have people from high school, or distant family members I never see. I’m sure yours will get better.

I saw you on Rachel Ray and I wanted to stop by to see how you are doing. I am not sure what you believe in or this was already posted, but my dreams have meanings. My dreams sometimes leave messages or even a peace of mind. Sometimes people enter my dreams who have already past on and wanted to leave me a message. What ever the case is, they suck sometimes, but sometimes they are heartfelt. Anyway, I am sure you are doing an awesome job in taking care of your lil one…she is gorgeous!
