I really needed to read this. I am 15 weeks pregnant with my second child. I have a genetic disorder that causes severe joint damage and as a result I have been a wheelchair user for several years. This was a unplanned pregnancy and my Dr wanted me to terminate for my health. I wouldn’t shame someone who decided to abort, but I just can’t. It ‘s not went over well with some of our friends because they think it is dangerous and selfish. I suppose they can’t really understand how it feels because they are not in this situation. It’s comforting to know that there are other moms out there who do know how I feel. Thank you for your kindness and sharing your story.

So appreciate your sharing of Kate’s story, Amy; thank you Kate for so eloquently telling us about Lily and your story.
Your mother’s words, Kate, brought tears to my eyes and so touch my heart, that I’m going to save them and cherish them.
‘My mother’s words eased my fears. “Your baby only knows security, love and protection in your womb. She feels your love and you are all she has ever known.” ‘
Fifty years ago I lost my son at about 25 mo; 2 1/2 yr ago my daughter and son-in-law son passed on after 12 days following a catastrophic birth. Such sorrow, such grief; and our Lord is with us in it all. Their is, I think, a profound beauty in walking through this with Him. My love and thanks to each of you, Kate, Kate’s mom, and Amy. And Lily, too!

Such a beautiful, inspirational story. In the midst of family tragedy and grief, this family was able to shine a bright light on the dignity and worth of even the littlest of us. How remarkable and awe-inspiring that Lily’s family turned their grief into a network aimed at providing love, care, support to those suffering similar outcomes – and, it’s bittersweet they have a saint in heaven, interceding for them on a personal level, and I’m sure praying for continued success for this ministry.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh this is beautiful. What courage! And I believe, no “accident” that Kate stumbled on this group. Such a beautiful reminder that every life is precious and every one valued in God’s eyes. I know that Lily is waiting for her parents in heaven. Blessings to Kate for having the courage to share this.
