Green Smiley Monday
Hi everyone,
Its green smiley Monday so its time to reflect on the good in life. I was thinking and here comes the bad part, that the grief we are experiencing as moms is probably the loneliest feeling in the world. Our kids are a part of us whether they grew under our heart for nine months or in our hearts as adoted children the emptiness could just swallow us up. So I am grateful, oh so grateful that FMO has helped to take much of the loneliness away. I cannot imagine how anyone walks this walk alone. It is too much to carry by myself.
Thank you for walking with me. Love and peace, Linda

We are all walking with you, Linda, offering each other strength and encouragement along the way.I too couldn\'t imagine walking this long and never-ending journey without each of you, thank you for being such a special friend and \"sister of the heart\", Love to You, Charlene
Hear, Hear! I agree, thanks for FMO and loving soul sisters like you I\'m still walking. Hugs and love, Lynette
I agree, too!!! We cannot do this alone....thank you for your friendship...your kindness.....your phone calls....we are blessed even in this mess......love and hugs to you and Eddie...xoxoxoxo dale...brandon\'s mom
I couldn\'t agree more! This is were I come for understanding and comfort. I wouldn\'t have made it out of the pit if it weren\'t for all my friends here. Linda, thank you for always being there for me with just the right words. Love and peace, Roselle
Thinking of you. Praying for you. Standing with you! You are right, it is the worst thing possible (I haven\'t lost a child, but it\'s my greatest fear). Jesus is carrying a big part of the load, but he sends you friends to be like pillows, trying to soften the blows, the grief, and giving you a place to lay your head when you need to. God bless you.

You are right everyone looks at me differently now. It is too much to bear alone/ There is much comfort to be drawn from each other. Sandi
I hear you Linda. Where would we BE?!?
Here is a benediction:
\"Take courage, friends.
The way is often hard, the path is never clear,
And the stakes are very high.
Take courage, for deep down there is another truth.
You are not alone.\"
xoxoxoox Much love, Sarah
Linda, thank YOU, for walking with US! The comfort gained from having Moms understand what we cannot explain, because we\'ve \"been there\", is a very big part of what FMO means to me. I am really glad that all of the Moms that are early in their grief have found FMO. I only wish it had been around when I was in the early days. But at least it\'s available and so helpful to all, now! I actually gain a lot of comfort from hearing how you all are gaining comfort! I am so very happy for this site and for Barbara\'s creation of it and the Board\'s loving maintenance of it, also.
Loving you and Eddie, Donna
I so agree!!
Thank you Linda
Hugs,
Marlene
I\'m with you and if I was doing this alone I don\'t know where I would be? Thank you for the beautiful reminder of the grace and healing that is here for me daily. It is such a blessing. Much love and gratitude to you, Joanie
Ah Linda, where would I be without the sisters of my heart? It makes me frantic to just imagine such a thing. It\'s so difficult to understand the pain of this experience, you\'ll have helped me so very much. This is the \"new normal\" and I\'ve needed all the help you\'all have been so generous with. love ya, abby
Oh Linda...I agree so much with this. I could not have gotten this far alone. I am thankful for each of the moms here and thankful for the bond we share of understanding like no others can. Love, Kim
You are so right....I cannot imagine having traveled this journey alone. All the moms here let me know that my feeling...what ever they are are normal!
Love to you...Karen
