I'm so sorry, Jerri. At least her little girl is finally at peace. All the good vibes I have are headed your way. Cheri (Bubbee to Emily and Nathan)

On their way. (Okay if I just sob quietly for a few minutes?)

I'm so sorry to hear of your friend's loss. The only comfort I can give is that she is now without pain, in the loving arms of the angels. I never could understand why a child had to die - it was the one situation at the ER I couldn't handle, and eventually, the reason I quit being a pastoral associate. It was as if every child was mine. I used to go home and we'd have group hugs. Prayers and love on the way. Patti

Jerri -- you've got it. Much love to you on your journey.

Goodness, how awful! I will definitely send soothing, healing vibes, and light a candle for them. (((((((hugs)))))))

I can't imagine what they are going through. Caring thoughts and hugs to you, your daughter, and your friends. I'm glad you will be able to visit with her next week.

Oh, how sad :(

Prayers and thoughts on their way.

Laura

My condolences to you, your daughter and your friends.

I am thinking of your friends and of you Jerri. Take care.

I am so sorry. I was so attached to a little girl who eventually died of cancer. It broke my heart. I first met her via my favorite radio show. Everyone I think in Austin went to her funeral.

I will definitely be sending healing vibes your way for your friend. I hope that she can find peace, but it may take a while. Just be patient and we'll keep being supportive.

A terrible tragedy, Jerri... My condolences to you and to your close friends. :`(

A friend of mine lost a child back in March. I was unable to put into words how I felt and found I was also unable to speak comforting words to my friend. So I turned to grief sites and found this link to be *especially helpful to myself, to her other friends and eventually, to my friend once the sharp edge of her grief passed.

- they have nationalnon-profit, self-help chapters that are run by members who have alsolost children... from their web page: "As seasoned grievers reachout to the newly bereaved, energy that has been directed inwardbegins to flow outward and both are helped to heal."Their brochures are (and were for me) especially helpful to read:
