I actually linked from one friends blog to another and ended up here on accident. This is such a personal blog and I didn't mean to violate your privacy, but started reading thinking it was my friends blog. I realized it wasn't hers pretty quickly, but was hooked after reading only the little bit I did and after I realized what this blog was about. I have struggled with fertility issues for several years and been through many things with that, so I know how feelings of desire and hope can be crushed so quickly with disappointment and fear. I have a friend who has been through the same thing as you and has a blog very similar to yours as well. You could probably share your experiences at some point and help each other deal better than others who haven't been through the same thing and can't truely understand. I am actually going through some cruddy things right now and just wanted you to know that this particular post helped me today. I may be a stranger, but your openness honestly made a difference in my life. Thank you for your willingness to share and give insight that not many would be able to. I learned from your post that not only am I not having a pitty party for myself (as I've been calling it), but I am grieving and mourning. Also, that not only is it okay to grieve & mourn, but it is necessary. I feel so much better in this moment. Thanks again! :)TIM & MISTYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16679361154541960426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1493752181766401399.post-59039326336820856092008-12-09T23:37:00.000-08:002008-12-09T23:37:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.TIM & MISTYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16679361154541960426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1493752181766401399.post-47492847723441003172008-11-11T11:42:00.000-08:002008-11-11T11:42:00.000-08:00Dearest Natalie; Thank you for letting "your ligh...Dearest Natalie; Thank you for letting "your light so shine before men" and your heartstrings be felt through your entries in your "Journey to Heal". I've tried to share this with others who I know have tear soup too and I'm sure it helps them in ways you may never know.

Each time I sat down to let you know I was thinking of you I would break into sobs. Even now as I write this, tears are streaming down my face. I hurt for you as only a mother who has gone through a similar trial can hurt. Like you I felt the need to write out my feelings and thoughts. My efforts are all in the form of prose and verse. I believe Heavenly Father councils us to write in our journals for the very healing it can bring and the insights we gain as we write our thoughts down. Please know that your efforts to share in the "journey to heal" will indeed help others along the same path. You are in my prayers, Janetgreathome4salehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344573468956531448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1493752181766401399.post-75188182707237870782008-11-09T10:03:00.000-08:002008-11-09T10:03:00.000-08:00Beautifully written post... it sounds like a very ...Beautifully written post... it sounds like a very good book, I will have to read it.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003942631576960152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1493752181766401399.post-6038860573684108142008-11-08T09:52:00.000-08:002008-11-08T09:52:00.000-08:00Natalie, My mom told me about your blog and I've s...Natalie, My mom told me about your blog and I've spent the last 2 days catching up and reading your entries. I am really touched by your honesty and faith, and the ability to share your experiences and learnings. Mourning is such a different experience for each of us, but the fact that we can help share in each other's tear soup brings us together in a way that can help to heal. Thanks so much for your blog. I'm heartbroken at your loss and wish you and your family the best.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507451870244933243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1493752181766401399.post-4945077008859923292008-11-07T04:57:00.000-08:002008-11-07T04:57:00.000-08:00Nat,By the way you described that book it really d...Nat,<BR/>By the way you described that book it really does sum up the healing process. I hope you know that when ever you want to talk about Branson Im ready for another taste of soup. Although I cant contribute the exact ingredients you need I will always be here to be a sampler. <BR/>Love,<BR/>BrandyThe Hammondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169261203751632107noreply@blogger.com
