And, that you can let go of a bit of your grief.<br /><br />PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239796424430952907.post-41254247521883183612011-01-21T22:51:03.926-05:002011-01-21T22:51:03.926-05:00It's that waking up that hurst the most isn...It's that waking up that hurst the most isn't it? In the first few days home from the hospital I used to think that I still *might* wake up one morning and find Cullen's death to be a long and twisted nightmare. No such luck- every morning was worse than the last. <br /><br />If there is one thing to take from your dreams it is the feeling of her body in your arms- it is not something you can feel when you are awake anymore, but I can't help but think that maybe feeling her in your dreams might be just one more thing she is giving you..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239796424430952907.post-80838912833428325062011-01-21T14:54:56.356-05:002011-01-21T14:54:56.356-05:00Oh, Mandy, there are no words... no words to comfo...Oh, Mandy, there are no words... no words to comfort, no words to change this. Just wanting you to know that I am here, reading and crying along with others, sending you love and support. And, I am awed by your ability to hold the two up simultaneously... grief/sadness/pain and yet looking for the gift... the gift of the image of Hudson's beautiful face from your dream. Her face, after you found her, saying Mama, I am here. And, I am OK. <br />And, I want to reiterate that your sharing your experiences and responses and your pain and struggles is a gift to the world, a gift I wish, wish, wish you were not in the position to share. But, a gift none-the-less. <br />Sending you love, and a hope for peaceful sleep tonight. <br />RachelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239796424430952907.post-72523652081992131322011-01-21T14:42:36.475-05:002011-01-21T14:42:36.475-05:00This breaks my heart.

In them I am left bereft, confused and wondering how in the world I could possibly explain to my siblings how I'd lost her. I have a clue as to how you might feel, but I know it must be much more heartwrenching to dream it about your little girl.
