Perhaps she was "given to you" at just the right time ~ to be able to spend her last last days here adorned with so much love and prayer, lifted up in peace.

Sending you, brian, and Emma much love and (wishing I could give you) many hugs, jen

Shana I am so, so sorry. I hadn't been on the computer much in the past few days and hadn't read the updates...

Praying for you guys. And imagining precious Meskerem home with Jesus.

Words are never enough in a time like this, but I want you to know that my my heart is broken for you. I can't even think about your family without a tear trickling down my cheek. I will be praying that our precious Father would wrap you all in His loving arms, so you might feel His comfort and peace.

Shana, my adored daughter, I never thought I would lose a grandchild this soon. Actually, two for you, isn't it. It hurts. More so for you, I know. Only occasionally do I read these comments. But on this sad day you certainly have an outpouring of love and support from your friends and family. "Crying with you..."...Indeed we are. I would like to thank all those who have commented for their comforting prayers and thoughts to help my daughter feel better. I'll see you soon, Shana.

Love, Dad

Your family is in our prayers and we are crying with you. May you find peace in the fact that she is in God's hands now. God needed another angel to watch over all of us.

Shana and family,
You and your sweet baby will be in our prayers. What a gift to have loved this baby. She knew it.

I'm sorry, Shana. I'm crying with you,too. Meskerem is being held close now. She's there with my Rahel. The words God spoke to me in a similar time: " 'Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of the Father...' I know her, I love her, I am holding her now..."

My heart is breaking for you. Praying for this most saddest of times.

Shana,
Came over from A Little Bit Pregnant, and was heartbroken to hear your news. She knew how much your family loved her and so was able to fly up faster and higher. We are sending you love and strength.

How horrible- I'm so sorry.

Prayers for you and your family, and prayers of comfort in knowing she's snuggled up close to the Savior. I think Jen is right, she was yours for awhile for a purpose, so she could be loved deeply while she was here.

The death of a baby is like a stone cast into the stillness of a quiet pool; the concentric ripples of despair sweep out in all directions, affecting many, many people.

I know truly how you feel and may you know that you are not alone.

Take care

Dear Shana,
Know that you are being lifted up in prayer even by sisters you have never met.

In my heart's sequestered chambers
lie truths stripped of poet's
gloss.
Words alone are vain and vacant
and my heart is mute.

In response to aching silence
memory summons half-heard voices,
and my soul finds primal eloquence
and wraps me in song.

If you would comfort me,sing me a
lullaby.
If you would win my heart,sing me a
love song.
If you would mourn me and bring me
to God,
sing me a requiem,sing me to
heaven.

From "Sing Me To Heaven"
words by Jane Griner

I am just sitting here crying my eys out and I don't even know you! I am so sorry- you must be so heartbroken. I can't even imagine- life is so fragile and precious. I am mostly so sad you never got to hold her in your arms and that she never got to feel your kisses on her face. I know that she is content now and filled with joy...and I am praying for healing to your grief.

there are no words that will truly comfort, but please know that across America, maybe across the world, moms (& others) sit quietly at our screens, wanting you to know we are reaching out to cover you with peace. God's perfect peace.
so very sorry for your loss of a precious daughter.

We are so very, very sorry. Jesus will babysit just for a while - until you are together forever. She is safe.

momteacherfriend said...

Lord, surround this family with your perfect peace. Comfort their mourning hearts. Carry them through the days and weeks ahead. Let them ever trust in you. Lord, surround them with people who will meet their every need. Hugs, food, shoulders to cry on, words of encouragement, faith when theirs waivers. Lord give them strength to get through the road ahead. In Christ name, Amen.

I am just someone who follows your blog. I am so sorry for you that you have lost your precious daughter. I am sure that she was given the knowledge of how special she was to so many in the time she had your thoughts, prayers and love. May she have an amazing time cloud jumping with all the other angels.A little child lost, but never forgotten.
