I have been reading your blog, but I hate to type comments one handed, and I usually am reading blogs when I am nursing (extremely mulit-talented, I know. ) Anyway, I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are coping.

I always think personal examples are what make talks good. (Of course, last time I couldn't think of any good examples but I had some good life analogies.) Anyway, while I was in Frankfurt, Elder Oaks and his wife spoke. I loved what she said. She was single until she married Elder Oaks in her 50s or 60s. She said, "You're going to have lonely times. Don't deny your feelings. They are a part of life, and they can become blessings that draw you closer to your Father in Heaven."Michelle Glauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01646213573761736892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-90487058037792117682009-03-01T11:19:00.000-06:002009-03-01T11:19:00.000-06:00That was beautiful Amy!

I didn't know about either pregnancy until I love the baby.<BR/><BR/>My attendance started slacking at work, I didn't want to get up in the morning, everytime I looked at my daughter I would cry because my other kids would never experience what she did.<BR/><BR/>My best friend pulled me out of my funk. She told me that all those babies needed was a body. They didn't need to be tested, they didn't need to be born, or even breathe. They needed their body so they could be resurrected with my eternal family.<BR/><BR/>It's so hard to pull yourself together after a loss, but I think you are an absolutely amazing woman. I envy your resolve and knowledge.Kaycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656467879424134893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31019990.post-65755960720106255732009-02-27T16:45:00.000-06:002009-02-27T16:45:00.000-06:00Amy, this is one of my favorite quotes. I thought ...Amy, this is one of my favorite quotes. I thought you might like it, too: <BR/><BR/>"Joy is an emotion of the spirit. It comes through righteous living. It is not a casual or shallow feeling, ever. If we equate fun and pleasure with happiness, we may think pain must always be equated with unhappiness. But that is not true. Joy is not a stranger to pain. We may not feel deeply enough to know joy unless our hearts have been hollowed out by sorrow. A heart may not be big enough to know real joy until it has been stretched and pulled by trials and hard things. In 2 Nephi 2:23 [2 Ne. 2:23] we find this phrase: “having no joy, for they knew no misery.” Our capacity to feel joy actually increases as we righteously endure our pain."<BR/>-Barbara Workman, “The Quest for Joy,” Ensign, Jul 2005, 50–54Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149278608548299431noreply@blogger.com
