1. I read her post late last night and haven’t stopped thinking about her all day today. BCC has it right - words fail. But I always hope that something, someone says, somewhere will help Artemis and her family during this emotionally difficult time. What has been inspiring to me is the massive, almost instantaneous, show of support, concern and love throughout the bloggernacle for Artemis and her family. She’s still in my prayers.

5. I’ve never been in that situation, but bless their souls for sharing their hearbreaking news. Help them to be strong, feel our prayers and bless that sweet little being to watch over and wait patiently to be reunited with her family forever.

8. Artemis, I’m so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my family’s prayers. I’m so sorry.

9. There is a desire to say something profound and comforting at a time like this, but whether out of a deep sense of vulnerability or the desire to not wound further with an inadvertent or wrong word, I find myself retreating to the safe and predictable phrase. Hopefully while in the crisis of grief, Artemis and her family or any others suffering now can understand the depth of emotion behind repeated assurances that others’ thoughts and prayers will be with them and the hope that, in grieving with them, we may somehow help carry their grief.

10. I’ve been in that position… more times than I ever thought I would/could be. It’s one of those things that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, let alone someone I didn’t even know. My heart breaks for them, and I hope they can find some comfort… Many prayers & thoughts their direction.

11. Often I think it is wise to not say anything at a time like this, I usually fumble it up so badly. However, we mourn when you mourn. Prayers and blessings of the spirit to you, Artemis and family.

13. It is inspiring to see all the support… my heart feels heavy right now. Saying prayers that the family will find some peace to help lift the burden of grief.

16. I weep as I watch my 5-day-old sleeping baby girl. And I find that overwhelming sadness and indescribable gratitude walk hand in hand. May the strength and love of so many prayers make it to your heart, Artemis. There really are no words.
