Recently I received this from a very special person. I was touched so deeply by the simplicity of this child’s words that I felt compelled to share it with all of you. Please feel free to pass along to anyone that you know who has lost someone. May his words be a little salve to all of your broken hearts as we prepare for this Thanksgiving. God bless.

Hello ladies. So here we are with a fresh start to our “blogging”! We announced last night at group that we will once again attempt to stay current on the blog if all of you ladies are willing to write as well. We would like to use this as a tool to stay better in touch in between groups and to further discuss topics discussed at group or that are heavy on your heart. If you would like to sign up to receive an e-mail notification when someone has blogged look in the archives under June 2007. There you will find step by step directions.
Last nigths group subject was guilt. There is so much guilt that is associated with the loss of a baby. Do you have guilt that you are still struggling with? We discussed that the definition of guilt is “the fact of being responsible of a crime or wrongdoing”. Look at what you are feeling guilty over and ask yourself if what you are struggling with is indeed a fact. Most often it is not. We tend to beat ourselves up over the “what if’s” and the “if only’s”. It comes down to accepting what happened and knowing that God was in control the whole time. Tell us how you are feeling about guilt. . .
