Today I had a pretty good day. It was actually the first day all week where I haven't been all teary and upset feeling. I met Sarah and two of her friends for coffee/hot chocolate at... can you guess where...Starbucks! Have I mentioned before that I love that place? I then went back to Sarah's house for a while to help her work on her CD orders, then did a few other things during the day. I was actually going to post today about my 'good day'.
However I got home and went to read the comments on my blog as I do everyday. One of the last posts was from DarlingNikki (http://22andlife.blogspot.com/) She told me in her post that she has never left me a comment before because she never really knew what to say to me. She went on to tell me that she admired me and my bravery facing such a horrible situation. She told her friends about me and what has happened in my life the last 3 months, telling her friends that she didn't think she could survive if anything like what happened to me would happened to her.
Tragically, it did happen to her. She is now a 22 year old living with the sudden loss of her husband as well. Her husband of 2 years Michael passed away on November 3 from an accident on a race track drag racing. She is 5 months pregnant. You all have been such a huge support to me and for me I'm asking you all to go to her blog (she just started it today) and please let her know that you are thinking of her. I would really appreciate it.
I will tell you about my 'good day' in another post, but for now, please go to her blog and leave her some encouraging words.
Thank you! Once again, you are all great and I appreciate each and every comment

Oh my goodness, what a terrible tragedy!
Who knew blogs would be a way of support & to find others to help you trhough.... look at you already helping a fellow soul that is going through tragedy!
God is going to bring you all together to keep you strong!
How awful. I am heading to her blog now.
How sad! I am heading to her blog now!!!
Glad you had a "good" day! Thinking of you over the holiday weekend...
Jen, I have followed your story from WebMD. We were both in the TTC board and then the First Trimester board together. I keep up on you (if that isn't creepy!) on your blog. I commend you for your strength and courage. I have experienced a lot of loss in my life (but not my husband)and I recently miscarried on 9/11. I have found healing in your words. Reading your blog has been an emotional release of my own. Thank you for sharing. I just figured I had been reading for a few months I should let you know that even though I do not comment, I am here, thinking and praying for you.

Hi Jenny,
My name is Kristin, and I've been reading your blog for some time now. I found you quite on accident but keep coming back to read your posts. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband and baby. I know everyone is telling you how strong you are, and you probably don't think so, but you really are.
I can't relate to your situation, but I am from southern Michigan. I live in Utah now, and it's nice for me to be able to "check in" with a fellow Michigander.
I have a blog, too, but it's private. If you'd like an invite, email me at kristinmwarner@hotmail.com.
Thanks for posting about your fellow blogger struggling with a loss. I'll be sure to stop over and lend her some support.
Take care.
I went over to 22 and Life.
Thanks for sharing her story. I read your post and thought I am on my way. I know I do not have much to relate to her about but we all need support. You are such a wonderful person to help her out.
Hey Jen,,
Can you send me your e-mail? Or I can ask Jen for it.
Hi Jen. I just checked out your new found friend's blog. What a terrible tragedy. I read what you had to say to her, and I admire you. I really saw strength in your words. I'm thinking about you this holiday weekend. Peace and Blessings!
Wow, I will go visit Nikki now. I hope you are having a good night.
Hugs and prayers,
Amanda
Oh no. I'm heading over there now.
