Brooke, I am so happy to see you post again and that you are starting to see what's good around you. I've been worried about you this week. I hope things are starting to get better for you.
Hugs, Hugs, Hugs

ditto what G said...boy what a difference a few days make:) Glad you are back in the saddle again!
Beautiful.
Hi Babette,
I wish I wasn't so far away, all I want to do is give you a huge hug. Like always I don't know what else to say other than I think about you, Kim, Rory and of course Caden pretty much constantly. When I hold Jordy I feel so guilty, like Jai and I didn't deserve him at all, but here he is, You and Kim are so much more deserving yet you have to go through this. When Caden was first born I wanted to give my own baby to you, but despite my post natal insanity I came to realise that even Jordy couldn't replace Caden and take your pain away, nothing can. You just have to survive in the hope that one day it will ease.
I don't know what to do to help you through this, but if there is anything at all please let me know. Like I said before, if there is any reason Kim can't donate her eggs, you can have mine or Jai has offered you his sperm if you need that. You will have more children, I have no doubt, I will even carry one for you if that's what it takes (and you know how I hate being pregnant). Please don't give up hope now. You have been through so much and you are still here. You have incredible strength, you are an amazing girl. Hang in there. You have Kim and Rory who can't live without you, and so many of us who love you.
Miss ya Brooke!
xoxo Ange
*hugs*
I am grateful to know you, Brooke and to learn about Caden.
Yes. Lots of things to be grateful for, even when you've lost a child.
