Stacy - She was a living doll and she looked like such a happy baby. I am so sorry for your loss but thank you for sharing Aspyn with us.
I know it may sound strange, but , my sister Lori loved babies more than you could ever know... I do believe they are somewhere together , so rest assured if they are Lori is taking loving care of your little angel.
God Bless Aspyn and all those lost to HCM.
Sincerely,
Lisa

Dear Stacy,
When my dad died, my world stopped too. I would walk down the street or go to work and wonder how anyone could go about their day like nothing had happened when my universe was shattered. It did feel like everything should stop, did stop. How could it be otherwise? The sun had been put out.
Eventually, this feeling does go away. I found that the hardest part was to let myself grieve. The pain is so intense and powerful, it is easy to become afraid of it and try to stuff it down and away. But the contradiction is that the only way to heal is to let all the pain go through you, to let it out. I would cry anywhere, anytime. I would walk down the main drag in the heart of Chicago and just cry. No one pays any attention anyway. The shower is a good place to cry, too. I would stand in the middle of the street and scream if I didn't think the cops would show up.
Darling Aspyn knows that you love her with all your heart and she is with you always in spirit. She is no longer sick or in pain and you will heal. I wish you all the best.
with tears in my eyes,
Sarah

Stacy,
I just looked at your daughter's site and had a good cry. As the mother of three, including a new baby girl, it just seems unbearable. Why, Why, Why? Why does this happen to innocent children? It is just so unfair. I imagine that your life will be changed forever...how do you recover from such sadness? I am still grieving the loss of my mother, who died after an unsucessful heart transplant. That is unbearable. But to loose a baby girl...I can't even dare to imagine. I will be thinking about you, and I'll say a prey for your beautiful daughter.
Amy

I sit here at work with huge tears in my eyes. I absolutely love your website and I am so sorry for your loss. After all that Lynn and I have gone through recently, it can not even compare with what you must be feeling now. I only wish that I had the magic words to type which could even begin to help you feel better. I guess the only comfort I could offer is knowing she is no longer sick or in pain and (as Lisa pointed out) that there are very special people helping care for her now.
God bless you and your family! May He grant you peace and help you grow from this and make you stronger so you can continue and take on the world!
I truly believe that for everything that happens, there is a reason. The challenge for us is to discover that reason, understand it, embrace it, and grow from it.
With tears in my eyes and love in my heart for you,
J. Timothy Stewart
