I feel so sorry for her. I can't begin to imagine what she's going through. There are no words.

How Awful, I can't even imagine the pain she is feeling. Know that we are all thinking of you now Chewie & sending lots of prayers to give you strength through this terrible time.

Thanks, Min, for posting this. I am only in and out of the goat forums lately and rarely check the other forums.

How awful! My thoughts and prayers are with Chewie.

I keep going back to that thread hoping that it wasn't real. I hope that we can provide a place for her to have caring people to listen if she needs it. There are people on here pretty much 24/7.

It is a parents worst fear and when it does happen you feel like you cant take your next breath. You feel so torn apart that little else will matter. It is a struggle that will last for a long time to come. All anyone can do is be there. In time she will need it.

I am so sorry for your loss, Chewie. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

As for the incredible pain that you are in...everyone handles grief in different ways, be kind to yourself and to your other loved ones. Give your darling beloved daughter to God - she was always his, just on loan to you for a little while. If you can do this, your grief will be softened. For me, the two sentences became a mantra..."Thy Kingdom Come, THY will be done". Hugs.

I hurt so much for you and your family Chewie. So so sad for you all. Lord wrap your arms around them and comfort them with your mighty love and give them strength to endure.
