The path is hard no matter what our Faith, the tears and sadness is there, something we carry with us and learn to go on with. Knowing the truth is the best, but it doesn't make it easier. I love you, you are in my prayers sweetones. We just have to endure, endure until the JOY comes and we are all reunited together again.

Natalie,
I wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. I took care of Gavin while he was on the 3rd floor on the Infant unit and my heart was broken when I heard about Gavin. I have kept you and your family in my prayers and in my heart. Your faith has inspired me so much and another nurse at my work was telling me how much of an example and inspiration you are! I know it is so hard to see the silver lining when something like this happens but last night I saw a glitter of silver shining through. Your faith and reliance on the lord and savior has inspired so many and through that endless possibilites could come. I wanted to thank you for your faith and love for your son and for our heavenly father and his son. You and your son have truly touched my life and strengthened my faith as well. So thank you again and my prayers are with you and your family

When I was grieving especially hard, my pastor said, "Don't give up, because you made it to today! You are a survivor!" Every night, my husband and I would look at each other and say, "Well, we made it through today." I began to cling to that phrase and it gave me hope that my family would make it through. My heart feels so attached to your journey and I am praying for you every moment I think of you.
Know that you and you family are deeply loved!

Hi Natalie,
I found your blog and story through my friend Kaitlin...so you don't know me. But I just wanted to offer my condolences for your loss. I'm so sorry about your sweet little boy.

Thinking of you in CA,
Julie

Hang in there Natalie. No matter what you have to grieve and go thru the process in order to heal. There will always be a piece missing but hopefully eventually it will be more peaceful and less hurtful. The memories will make you laugh instead of cry. Take it one day at a time. I think of you everyday and my heart still hurts for you everyday as well. Your own strength, you faith and those around will help get you thru. Take care.

Hi Natalie,
You don't know me, like so many others who have commented on your blog. I found your blog through my friend Erin and have been following you for a while. I know things are rough but I hope you know your blog continues to inspire me every day. I feel like I know you and that you are my big sister. I really love that. You truly have been blessed with a gift of making everyone feel that same way. Anyway, I also wanted you to know that I also LOVE the photography tutorials you have created. I've been getting into photography and I'm trying to learn more and more and you have helped me understand so many concepts that I didn't get before. So, thanks.
Continued prayers for you and your family from Chicago.
Love,
Your wannabe sister :)
Kelly

Natalie - I found your blog completely accidently a couple weeks ago (really, I don't think it was an accident - I believe I was meant to find and read your words...). And, like so many others, I'm so inspired by your faith and strength and love. You truly are an amazing woman and mama. Just wanted to share that - I know that there are so many people who will be here waiting for you.

Natalie,
I like to think of Gavin and Bart taking turns holding Baby Gavin and it makes my heart feel good.
I love you and Richie and the boys and I know our Heavenly Father remembers each of us in detail.

I also stumbled upon your blog by accident... and I appreciate all of your positive strength and appreciation of life and faith. I am sending all of my strong inspiration vibes to you.

Here's a quote I love (hope you do too) that I find comforting when I'm feeling blah--for whatever reason! Sadness, grief, or feeling uninspired--it's perfect for all of that:
“The life of a creator is not the only life nor perhaps the most interesting which a [person] leads. There is a time for play and a time for work, a time for creation and a time for lying fallow. And there is a time, glorious too in its own way, WHEN ONE SCARCELY EXISTS, WHEN ONE IS A COMPLETE VOID. I mean when boredom seems the very stuff of life.” --don't know who said it, but I love it.

Julie said...

We're still with you, and you all are still in our prayers!

Molly said...

Oh natalie...I'm here for the long haul! Nope, not going anywhere. I love you love you dearly. Please tell me how I can help, because heaven knows I want to. You are amazing, and I can't believe you call me your friend. I am too lucky for words.
