Hi, I’m Jodi!
When Jenny asked me to guest post on her blog, my first thought how nice of her to ask me! I was honored! My next thought was what the heck was I going to write about?
I’m still not sure how we found each other’s blogs but I remember it was shortly after Shawn died that I started reading it. I just felt so bad for Jenny and all that she was going through. I didn’t know her at all, but it was still so sad. Then we found out we live close to each other, and eventually met for lunch.
It was a little weird “meeting” someone who you don’t know, but at the same time, you do know a lot about. We chatted about all sorts of stuff and enjoyed our visit. She is pretty much like I thought she would be.
Just last week I went through a miscarriage and keep telling myself it could be worse and to be strong. I found myself thinking of Jenny and what she went and is going through with the loss of Shawn and their baby. She has strength and hope! She has been dealt an unfair hand and had to play. I know someday she will find real happiness again! She deserves it so much!
I’ve found, and I know she would agree that friends and family really come through to help you through hard times. I know I am so lucky for my friends and family and Jenny feels the same way. She posts often about her visits and conversations that help her, or people who just let her cry or ask questions. I know all of you who read her blog have given her support and kind words too.
So, blog friends of Jenny - Let’s all leave her a nice comment. Tell her a word you think describes her, or a post you were touched by, or why you enjoy reading her blog, anything! Let’s be good blogging friends!

What a beautiful post Jodi !
I think both you and Jen are truly strong women ...(((HUGS)))
I've only been reading Jen's blog for a short while but I did go back in the archives and read all of them. It saddens my heart at the pain and misery she has had to endure and I pray for her to find the happiness she so deserves. I do believe God has a purpose and plan for her life and that she will eventually have happiness again.
Jodi, I've never been in your shoes. I'm sure Jen will be a great source of friendship and comfort for you.
Jen, I've been reading your blog for quite some time. I have always been impressed by not only the strength you show, but your weaknesses too. You don't just show your "strong side," but you show that it's alright to have moments of "I want him back now."
I check your blog often and always look forward to reading your insight.
Great job Jodi,
I just love Jen. She is sweet and kind and very strong.
I love the way of words Jen has to describe what she is feeling.
Great job Jodi. I am sorry about your recent miscarriage. It's hard, I know it took me a while to get through it.
I love reading Jen's blog because she is so transparent. She just doesn't show us the good. She shows us the bad and the truly ugly too as she goes through the grief process. We love you Jen and are praying for you and now Jodi as well from IL.
Great job Jodi!
Please know your in my thoughts. Any loss is painful and should be recognized with sympathies. I'm so very sorry.
And Jenny.....
BRAVE!!!!
Jenny is sooo brave. Many would never share their feelings the way she does here so openly. I remember her post about how she was scared to drive by herself at times and Shawn would have to drive her places to help her get use to the drive before she could tackle it by herself. THAT IS SOOO ME!!! To see her now taking these road trips by herself!!!!! She is brave and strong and inspiring! I don't know her, but I love her dearly!!!
xoxo,

Thaank you so much for being a guest on my blog.
I'm so so sorry that you had a miscarriage. That is just awful and you are right, it is so unfair how often they really do happen. There are so many emotions that go along with a miscarriage and you are are allowed to feel all of them.
When I get back home maybe we can go out for lunch and the two of us can talk if you would like.
You are right...family and friends will help you through this difficult time. My friends have been my rock!
Thank you so much for posting for me. You did a wonderful job and I'm so happy to have you as one of my friends.
