Hi Denise...it was so good talking to you tonight. I am so glad you told Lauryn...I was so worried about you trying to hold everything in, or for Lauryn to find out some other way. Now you can grieve together as a family and find healing and give comfort to one another. My heart still aches so bad for you in the loss of your darling and precious little Maddie. Maddie, you and your family will be forever in my heart. Love you...hugs to all. |
please don't blame yourself thing happen may god bless you and you'r daughters healing time |
Oh Denise, I know that must have been so hard for you to do. I have had to deal with that on a different level. It is never easy to face reality and realize that someone you love will no longer be around. Especially for a 14 year old. But knowing she is your daughter, I am certain she is intelligent and mature. I think burying Maddie's toys will be a good thing. You can always feel her "presence" that way. I hope things go easier for you now. Today Lauryn grew up a bit more and you gained another shoulder to cry on and that is so important. xxoo, R.I.P. sweet Maddie |
Denise, God bless you, Lauryn, and the rest of your family. We will all miss seeing pictures of little Maddie, but as you said she is now chasing the bunnies and squirrels in Heaven. You will all be reunited in the end, and she'll be there wagging her tail and barking to greet you!! Her life was short on Earth, but beautiful. |
I'm so sorry once again... but I am glad that you told your daughter the truth.. I hope she is doing okay.. :( Hugs to you all! :love: |
Denise, I am so sorry for all the pain you and your family are going through. It is understandable why you wanted to protect Lauryn from the heart ache but maybe knowing what happened is better than always wondering what could have happened to her. Now she knows that Maddie is pain free and happily running and playing in heaven. Please don't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault. May God help you and your family through this and may he heal your broken hearts. We will all miss Maddie. Rest in peace sweet Maddie. |
Denise, I am heartbroken for you and your family. Little Maddie is missed and will always have a special place in all our hearts. I am glad that you decided to tell Lauryn what happened. I know how burdened you must have felt carrying all that grief alone. Now you can all grieve and then begin to heal as you remember all your loving, precious memories of little Maddie. God bless and comfort you all. |
Oh Denise, I have been following your thread from the begining and my heart just aches for you and your family.. As a mother of 5 I know first hand how difficult it is to tell our children that a beloved one/pet has passed on..The truth is better than trying to shield them...I have been sitting here with tears just knowing how hard it was for you to tell Lauryn..:cry: That word again, TIME yes, your hearts will heal, and a little one will help the process not a replacement for Maddie...Please know that you and your family are still in my prayers and I think of you all often....:hands:...God Bless you..:heart to ...Dottie |
It's so sad that you're having to relive the loss of Maddie. Lauryn sounds like a terrific child and sometimes they understand things with a maturity beyond their years. I'm still praying for you and your family. I wish we could make the heartache go away. |
Oh Denise that must have been the hardest thing to tell your daughter. I am sitting here crying again with each of you. I'm praying for your family and I hope each day the pain gets a little bit better. Passing the tissues |
Denise, I'm so glad you told Lauryn, she needed to be able to heal and not to keep wondering if Maddie would ever be found. I think burying a few of Maddie's things will help bring closure and I love the idea someone mentioned of planting a rose bush, how beautiful a tribute. Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. |
Denise - I know what a huge step it was to tell Lauryn. But you are so right, she really did deserve to know and needs to heal as well. And Maddie can never be replaced. She was one of a kind and will always hold a special place in your heart. Rest in peace little Maddie. |
Denise, I'm glad you told Lauryn. This way you can help her end her searching and wondering and allow her to find comfort in the happiness that Maddie was. It takes a long time to adjust to a loss such as this and will be easier for you now that you don't have to be careful with every word you say. You can now comfort each other. |
I'm so sorry that little Maddie is gone :( . I know it must have been so difficult to break the news to Lauryn, but our children are always much stronger than we give them credit for; they are probably stronger than we are :). I have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. |
Denise -- I'm so sorry you had to go through this AGAIN. But I think telling your daughter was definitely the right thing to do, especially at her age. I think that in spite of all the sadness, she can learn a lot of good and valuable things from the experience. *No matter how good a person you are, horrible things can, and will, happen in your life. *When these things happen, that is when we need our family and friends the most. *All God's creatures are special gifts, and only "on loan" to us -- so treat them accordingly. *You will ALWAYS love Maddie -- that will never go away. She will always live in your heart. *While you can never REPLACE Maddie, there is always a baby that would welcome your love. A baby that would help to fill the hole in your heart. I told my mom about this last night and we both cried for you and your family. Thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. |
