In my dream she was born alive and hooked up to machines and I was about to get to hold her again. I kept telling myself in my dream, this is not happening she is dead. But my husband kept reassuring me she was okay. Then of course my hopes were shattered as I woke up. This has been such a journey of mixed blessings, I am glad that I "saw" her again, but also crushed and going through the emotions of our loss all over again as I woke up. You are in my daily prayers, as I have read your blog for a couple of months. I pray for God's peace in our hearts and that we be blessed abundantly in the future by our Father in Heaven that has chosen a path for us that we would have never chosen for ourselves.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096823009923369474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-22157442048804001012009-01-25T19:44:00.000-05:002009-01-25T19:44:00.000-05:00...when you're dreaming with a broken heart, the w......when you're dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardest part....<BR/><BR/>wishing you continued healing and peace and thinking of you often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-54173717125667263222009-01-25T15:29:00.000-05:002009-01-25T15:29:00.000-05:00I just found your blog on babyloss directory.

I have to say that while it was hard to wake up from such a wonderful dream, I imagine that had the dream been a bad one, it would have been much harder to swallop when you woke up. Perhaps I am wrong, but with all that you've been through and as much as you love Isaac, I think it's great that you can have nice dreams about him. I hope that you have many more wonderful dreams of him Stacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-7573560819009670612009-01-24T17:21:00.000-05:002009-01-24T17:21:00.000-05:00How sad and yet how sweet.

I remember to this day many of the dreams I had after Samuels death. The most recent was after the birth of his younger sister and brother. I dreamt that we found him, he had been alive all along and I had for the first time all three of my kids together.

After trying for two years to get pregnant we finally had a beautiful, healthy boy. We lost his twin at 10 weeks, but I was so happy to have a child. We went back to the infertility doctor and finally got pregnant again. Our daughter was born with Down Syndrome. I think I grieved the loss of our "normal" daughter more than the baby we lost, but, of course, time does heal and she is such a joy and delight. I love the dreams I have about her because we have the most wonderful chatty conversations! She is very low functioning and can't really communicate but boy do we ever in my dreams! Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ who not only carries our burdens but loves doing it. He will help you laugh again! This life is so brief for all of us, only a shadow, and we have a 'real' country waiting on us that I know we can't even imagine. <BR/><BR/>Here is a verse I've been memorizing this week: (Beth Moore has a memorizing thing going on, check out her blog)<BR/><BR/>One thing have I asked of the Lord,<BR/> that will I seek after;<BR/>That I may dwell in the house of the Lord<BR/> all the days of my life,<BR/>to behold the beauty of the Lord,<BR/> and to inquire in His temple.<BR/>Ps. 27:4<BR/>I'm praying for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-74502144035347254392009-01-23T03:01:00.000-05:002009-01-23T03:01:00.000-05:00I believe your dream was Gods way of showing you h...I believe your dream was Gods way of showing you how happy Isaac is in Heaven with Him and how he loves to walk and smile. He's watching over you and daddy. I'm sure Isaac will come to you in your dreams for many years even after you have another baby and you will love each one just as much. I know when i dream about my babies (that I never met) I never want to wake up, but when I do I thank God over and over for the chance to KNOW AND SEE that my babies are happy in His kingdom. <BR/><BR/>God bless you Stacy and your family. You are ALWAYS in my prayers. The Lord is good and He will guide you.

I started having them when I was 12and my Grandfather died, he the first grandparent I lost. Ever since then everytime someone close to me dies I have dreams about them starting a couple months after they pass, I personally like to believe that it takes time to check into heaven which is why there is a delay :). Usually we are having a conversation about how they are doing now, how they are safe, and to tell everyone that they love them and will see them again. I 100% believe that they actually come to me because they are usually with people that I don't know, and then I look at old pictures or describe them to living family members and realize they are relatives who passed that I never met...crazy I know.<BR/><BR/>It sounds strange, but I find comfort and sadness in these dreams. I wake up very happy, and then realize that I can't talk to them in person anymore. However, I do have more of these dreams when I am in a rough part of life. For example when our son, Nathan, was born he had two brain hemmorages. He is perfect now, thanks to countless surgeries and a shunt, but it was incredibly hard for Lawrence and I. I would be comforted when my other Grandfather (who died in my arms when I was three months pregnant with Nathan) would be in my dreams telling me that everything will be fine. That we will all make it through this, and he will be healthy. <BR/><BR/>I have come to believe that when we really need them, those we have lost find a way to tell us that they are alright, and that we will be fine again. I know that you won't know why this happened to you, Spenc, the first baby and Isaac until you are in paradise, but I believe that the people we love never leave us...they just get different jobs. Isaac will always be with you and watching over you. You guys are, and always will be his Mommy and Daddy. Nothing, including death, will ever break that bond. Trust that Isaac was telling you that he is doing fine...heck, he is already walking! <BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Sandy (Spence's friend from college)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-64913517782773669552009-01-23T00:23:00.000-05:002009-01-23T00:23:00.000-05:00I have had only one brief dream about Jenna, and t...I have had only one brief dream about Jenna, and there have been times that I have prayed (more like tearfully begged) for another. It's bittersweet - waking up and feeling that you were so close to them for a moment (even though it was just a dream), but missing them so much more because of it. <BR/><BR/>May God restore you and bring you the joy of another little child when you are ready. He really is a wonderfully generous God and I have no doubt that he will give you beauty for your ashes.<BR/><BR/>HUGS...sumihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740960649940247718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-9887811904133098592009-01-22T22:12:00.000-05:002009-01-22T22:12:00.000-05:00Praying for you.Praying for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178657934065016194.post-90449522089435273262009-01-22T22:06:00.000-05:002009-01-22T22:06:00.000-05:00What a beautiful dream.

After I lost my grandmother and grandfather I had those same dreams, and felt that horrible realization when waking up. I can't even comprehend how it must be for you. Every time I look at Isaac's pictures I yearn for him to still be with you. Someday, you will have children in this world with you- but they won't be Isaac- and that is a hard thing to swallow.
