Wall of Support for Tim'sWifey
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Wall of Support for Tim'sWifey
I am a lurker, however, I wanted to share a song with you.. and this is actually what I prayed for you last night after I read your post..
"This is all that I can say right now" by David Crowder Band
Lord I'm tired
So tired from walking
And Lord I'm so alone
And Lord the dark
Is creeping in
Creeping up
To swallow me
I think I'll stop
Rest here a while
And didn't You see me cry'n?
And didn't You hear me call Your name?
Wasn't it You I gave my heart to?
I wish You'd remember
Where you sat it down
Chorus:
And this is all that I can say right now
i know it's not much
And this is all that I can give
yeah that's my everything
Bridge:
I didn't notice You were standing here
I didn't know that
That was You holding me
I didn't notice You were cry'n too
I didn't know that
That was You washing my fee
I pray that in the midst of your greiving you find yourself being held by God, and you didn't even notice that he was right there holding your hand, and letting you cry into his shoulder. I am sorry for loss.
I don't even know what to say. I lost a sister when my mom was 20 weeks pregnant with her. I think of her often and I know she's in heaven helping watch over beautiful Katie and Matthew.
I always find this song healing in time of sorrow. Know you are loved and prayed for.
Praise You in This Storm
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms
I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away
Chorus
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
Fly
Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again
Fly, fly precious one
Your endless Journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace all one word
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet.
Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget
Fly, fly little wing
Fly, where only angels sing
Fly away, the time is right
Go now, find the light.
I am praying for you and your family. I hope you are able to find some peace in the midst of all the heartache you have had to endure<3

I love you so much and there are no words except to say I am sorry. I am sorry this happened again. I prayed so hard for you and Matthew, as I did for Katie.
I hate that this happened. I wish we had our girls too. I don't understand these things and never will. You are such a beautiful person who deserves all the happiness in the world.
M and I love you so much and are here for you....day and night. I wish I could be there with you right now, just to hug you and hold you.
You and Tim will be in my prayers.
Love,
J
Lord, we commit to Your love, Baby M, quickened to life for so short a time. Enfold him in eternal life. We pray for TW and her family who are saddened by the loss of their child. Give them courage and help them in their pain and grief. May they all meet one day in Heaven. We ask this in Your name.
Amen.
In loving memory of Baby M.
Gone but never forgotten.
We love you TW.
Love, Bada & L
TW, my sweets. I have no words to express everything I am feeling. I have no words to say what I want express. Nothing that compares to what you and Tim have gone through the last year and a half. No way to bear the burden of even a tiny bit of what you feel.
I have written and deleted so many things, none of which are adequate. Please know that I am here for you and that I love you with all my heart.
"All our Hopes and Dreams, now carried on Butterfly wings..."
As a butterfly graces our lives with one moment's fragile beauty,so too has your baby's presence blessed you, and those that surround you with their short life, and unique spirit. May you find peace, and joy with each butterfly that passes, knowing that your baby lives on in the hearts of all they touched.
I wish I knew the right thing to say. I wish there was anything I could say that would make it even a little bit better, but I know there isn't. Instead, I just wanted to share a quote that made me think of you and your babies:
Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
-Kahlil Gibran
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
TW and family,
There are hundreds (maybe even thousands) of faces sitting behind these computers who are weeping while reading and typing these thoughts and prayers. If love can be felt when reading these posts then I hope you can feel it. I hope it comforts your family in even the slightlest bit during these dark hours. Other than that I have no words.
There will be 2 candles lit in my home all day in honor of your children.
Love,
A fellow mother and bumpie, electricdoctor83
Dear TW, Tim, Katie and Matthew,
I am a lurker/sometimes poster. Like so many others, there are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss of Matthew. I wanted to send you healing hugs when you lost Katie last year, and I want to do the same now. I do not know you and you don?t know me. But, please know that my H and I are thinking of you. We cried for you last night. I wish all it took were our tears and thoughts to bring Katie and Matthew back.
No one should have to experience the great losses you?ve suffered. I recall being astounded by your strength last year and your continued support of those around you who have suffered losses as well. Again, I don?t know you, but I can see that you are an amazingly wonderful and caring person. I hope that someday your memories of both of your children, however brief, will bring you peace.

I have candles lit all over my house for you and baby Matthew...
"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think, but the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you. "
I am so very sorry for your loss.
Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!
If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.
After 2 years & 2 losses, our little man arrived 8-2011.
"You're gonna miss this You're gonna want this back You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast..."
Dear TW, Tim, Katie and Matthew,
Like many others, I am a lurker more than a poster, but I wanted you to know that you have all be raised up in my family's prayers. I'm not sure how to express how much my heart hurts for you and your family. And even though we have never met or spoken, you are such an inspiration to me. You are so strong in a time of sorrow. I am deeply sorry for you loss.
(((HUGS)))
sbe
Mommy, please don't cry
I'm as safe as I can be
I know you miss me,
But I've finally been set free
And if you find that you need me
I will be waiting here
To help you get through
And take away your fear
I love you so much mom
But it's time for me to fly
I will see you every night
And I swear it's not goodbye
I promise it's not goodbye
"I Promise it's not Goodbye" ~ Chris Cornell
I am so sorry for your loss.I have nothing poignant or important to say, but you've been on my mind since I read the news...I am so sorry for your tragic losses. No one should have to feel that sort of pain...
My thoughts are with you...I'm so so sorry.
There are pieces of this that aren't exactly right, but most of it is:
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you can't get what you want, or what you need*
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
I know there is nothing I can do or say to make this better, but I would. I would do or say or give up anything to help you feel better, to give you back what you've lost. To fix you.
I have faith in you, TW. There is no reason, no explanation, no lesson from what you are going through - but I know that somehow, someway, you will turn this into something beautiful. This experience, while incomprehensibly heartbreaking, won't break you. I know that your babies have and will continue to touch this world, to change it for the better, through you. It's not enough, but it's something.
I love you. Fiercely.
** I changed that line.
TW, You are such a strong, well-loved, sweet woman. I am so sorry for everything that you have had to go through. Please know that you and Tim are in my thoughts and that your little angels will never be forgotten.
Much love to you sweetie.
TW,
Since I found this board a little over a year ago, you have been one of my favorite women. Not just on here and facebook, but overall. The reason why is because of your grace, strength, humor, and kindness. It would be so easy to become a negative and angry person after going through what you've been through. But you won't, just like you didn't this past year.
I cannot fathom the pain you and your husband are feeling right now, but I know with all of the conviction in my heart you will get through it beautifully. I wish there was something I could do to take the pain away. I can only hope that when there is tragedy in my life that I will have an ounce of your amazing strength. You have been, and will continue to be in my thoughts.
Love,
Heather
TW & Tim,
My heart aches for your loss. Like everyone on this board, I wish there was something I could do to take away your pain. I will be thinking about you both and your precious babies in the days and weeks ahead.
Sometimes love lasts a moment
Sometimes love lasts a lifetime
Sometimes a moment is a lifetime.

I thought of you and closed my eyes,
And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother,
And I know I heard him say:
A mother has a baby,
This we know is true.
But, God, can you be a mother,
When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can he replied,
With confidence in his voice.
I give many women babies,
When they leave is not thier choice.
Some I send for a lifetime,
And others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb,
But theres no need to stay.
I just don't understand this God,
I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared his throat,
And then I saw a tear.
I wish that I could show you,
What your child is doing today,
If you could see your child smile,
With other children who say:
We go to earth and learn our lessons,
Of love and life and fear.
My mommy loved me oh so much,
I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a mom,
Who had so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My mommy set me free.
I miss my mommy oh so much,
But I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear.
"Mommy don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here."
So you see my dear sweet one,
Your children are Ok.
Your babies are here in My home,
They'll be at heavens gate for you.
So now you see what makes a mother.
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of,
Right from the very start.
Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother,
until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day,
And you'll know that you're the best one!
I only joined this board a short while ago, but you are an amazing mom TW, I'm so sorry for your loss, my prayers are still with you and your family.
TW & Tim,
I am so very sorry for both of your losses. Please know that I am thinking of you often. You are incredibly strong parents to 2 beautiful children, and I can't imagine how difficult this is for you.
Love,
Bio.
TW,
I was so sad to hear of your loss. You were in my thoughts all day today. Life is sometimes so, so unfair. I will share with you a quote I clung to when my good friend died of cancer:
Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heavenBlossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots, of angels.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I've already posted in this thread, but on the way home from work, this song came on my ipod and you immediately crossed my mind:
"Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams"
Dixie Chicks,Godspeed

Dear TW,
I have been pretty much just a lurker for a long time but I have been following your story since before you had Katie. My heart is absolutely broken for you. The words I'm sorry sound too trite and useless right now but I have nothing even remotely appropriate to say how I feel. I'm so very sorry. It is more than unfair.
It is my deepest prayer that you can somehow, some way find peace in this heartbreak. I will be donating the money I'm raising for my half marathon in November to the March of Dimes in honor of your precious little ones. I can think of no more fit charity.
Please know I'm praying for your peace.
TW and Family,
I hope you can feel the love and support from all of us on BOTB. I've been following your story and have been thinking about you and praying for you. When I saw your post yesterday, I kept saying, "Oh no, oh no..." and burst into tears when my H asked what was wrong. I'm so sorry you are faced with such loss again. I know we can't lessen the pain, but I hope you feel all of our support. ((Huge hugs))
I thought I'd share a couple songs that I hope bring you a little bit of comfort. I often find encouragement in songs...
"Strong Tower" by Kutless
When I wander through the desert. And I?m longing for my home. All my dreams have gone astray. When I?m stranded in the valley. And I?m tired and all alone. It seems like I?ve lost my way.
I go running to Your mountains. Where Your mercy sets me free.
You are my strong tower. Shelter over me. Beautiful and mighty. Everlasting King. You are my strong tower. Fortress when I?m weak. Your name is true and holy. And Your face is all I seek.
In the middle of my darkness. In the midst of all my fear. You?re my refuge and my hope. When the storm of life is raging. And the thunder?s all I hear. You speak softly to my soul.
"I Lift My Eyes Up" by Kutless
I lift my eyes up. Unto the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help comes from You. Maker of heaven. Creator of the Earth.
Oh how I need You, Lord. You are my only hope. You?re my only prayer.
So I will wait for You. To come and rescue me. Come and give me life.
Word of God Speak
I?m finding myself at a loss for words. And the funny thing is it?s ok. The last thing I need is to be heard. But to hear what You would say.
Word of God speak. Would you pour down like rain?
Washing my eyes to see. Your majesty.
To be still and know. That You?re in this place.
Please let me stay and rest. In Your holiness.
Word of God speak
I?m finding myself in the midst of you. Beyond the music, beyond the noise. All that I need, is to be with You. And in the quiet hear Your voice.

There are no words for times like this. My heart aches for you but I know that someday, you will get to hold your precious babies again. Thinking of you and your family.

I've got nothing useful to say, just, I'm sorry.
and you're all in our thoughts and prayers
