Hi, Carolyn Baumann here, fellow piano teacher of Susan at LPS. This is so thoughtfully written, and beautifully expressed. God has showed me over the years that through our losses God can use that to help others with similar losses as ours. It may not seem like it in the moments of grief, but God shows us it to us at a later time when we least expect it. I lost two babies in a row, the second even more difficult to cope with than the first, at the time. Months after the second, God put several other mothers, younger than I in my path, going through the same, asking for help. It was not a complete answer to the "Why?" But in reflection, it did give my losses "a purpose" if you will. Many are still keeping you in prayers, and are uplifted also by your statements coming from deep faith in Jesus love for you! God bless.

Thank you for the update Hannah. It was wonderful to read about your life and moments and what God is teaching you and how he is sustaining you. We love you all.

Thank you for letting your faith continue to shine through even in the midst of trial. Thank you for your words! Prayers are always with you.

It’s so good to hear from you, Hannah. Your words are so helpful to hear. We think of & pray for you daily. I pray you continue to feel all the love and all the strength we possibly can send you. ❤️

We love you All.

To me I hear you say "God is answering everyone's prayers and I am taking tiny steps with His help" This makes everyone of us thank God and continue in prayer for you and the family. Thank you for increasing my faith with your tender words.

We will most definitely "keep it up"! May you continue to feel our prayers for you and for your family, Hannah... The exposition of your "mama heart" ~ the heaviness you are feeling in the midst of the hope ~ is so real. I will continue to pray with you that your suffering is not wasted ~ but is used for His glory and for your refinement. "He didn't suffer so we wouldn't have to; he suffered so we'd know how to." (Chris Stefanick)

And I love your faithfulness to the sacredness of the present moment. May we all grow in our appreciation of that gift...

Please continue to lean on the Simons in your life ~ as we all continue in this pilgrimage... Big hug!

It is a blessing to hear from you. Thoughts and prayers for your family continue.

I have thought of you all often and continue to pray for you. We keep Joel's memorial card on the fridge, and in that way he and your family are thought of daily.♥️

It's So good to hear from you! I can't imagine your journey, but I'm uplifted in what you're sharing. I praybfor Peace beyond Understanding for you & Karl & family.
