[...] and this year it was mostly the same. This time, though, Abby was invited to read her poem “Tiny One.” And this time it was warm enough to release butterflies at the conclusion of the ceremony. [...]

Abby, this is beautiful. Would you consider granting us permission to use it during our Perinatal Remembrance Ceremony in November? You have expressed what so many of our parents feel and for which they have no words.

You and your family remain in my thoughts and prayers, and I was honored to be with you a bit during your baby’s short time with us. Blessings to all of you.

I have wept for you often these last few weeks. Between Evan and Daniel we had another child who died during an ectopic pregnancy (we found out later that I could have died with him/her). The grief is great and may last a long time, but He holds us even closer and tighter during our tears.

Beautiful, heartbreaking, and true. Much love to the three of you.

Unspeakable sorrow. I have no words… just tears. My heart is breaking for you. Praying for restoration and hope. With love, Susan & Jon

Oh God…

Abby, your words are engraved on my mind and the grief is too much for me. I think I could more easily bear this blow for myself than for you. Oh, to turn back time and rewrite a page or two of your story.

I should offer godly words of encouragement, but all I can do today is weep with you.

May our desperate cries, and the Spirit’s groans on our behalf, be heard and felt by our Sovereign Father.

We’re crying, too. If only by sharing in your grief we could lessen it…

God’s plans for the Gjertsen family – such mighty plans. I stand in awe at how He is building strength through trials, pouring out mercy through difficulties, showering love in the midst of pain & sorrow. Through years of difficult circumstances that continue to increase in difficulty – He shines through you. What a gift it is to be able to reflect Christ in your daily walk.

I cry with you and share your questions. I care for your wounded hearts and long for their healing and preservation. I will uphold you in prayer and ask that the Lord restore joy, carry your burdens and renew all hope.

You are loved beyond measure.
