I randomly stumbled upon your page and now as tears run down my cheeks, I can't stop reading. You have now found a spot in my prayers and in my heart. Your children are beautiful and I am so sorry for your loss. My little boy is the same age as little Camille and I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry.<BR/>God bless!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14879859305046963468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-57546441875740157642008-08-12T07:57:00.000-07:002008-08-12T07:57:00.000-07:00I teach Relief Society and yesterday's lesson was ...I teach Relief Society and yesterday's lesson was Chapter 14: Hope and Consolation in times of Death. I thought of you and mentioned you throughout my lesson and the inspiration you have been to me and so many others. I printed out your tips to help a friend who a suffered a loss and passed it on to all the sisters. I received so many thank you's for giving that out. I think it really helped many of them.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration.AmandaScrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240374420461117661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-36347592076437645362008-08-11T21:12:00.000-07:002008-08-11T21:12:00.000-07:00I heard the book, "The Message" by Lance Richardso...I heard the book, "The Message" by Lance Richardson mentioned in earlier comments.

I was trying to help her through a spiritual program and we got very close. She confided to me things that nobody knows and now I am dealing with a lot of grief. She committed suicide, and since her death I have felt her presence with me at night when I say my prayers. I have been going through some difficult times this summer b/c my husband had neck surgery and we have three small children.

My husband and I attended a session in the temple and I couldn't help but think of you and Camille. I also had to give the lesson yesterday on death in Relief Society. I debated whether to share your story. I ended up sharing and could barely get through my sobs. I wanted to share with the women how you have held onto these gospel Truths and my prayer for all of us, if we were to ever be faced with such a loss, would be that we would find the same strength as YOU have shown and turn to the Lord in that dark hour. <BR/>I am also grateful for these gospel Truths and know without a shadow of a doubt that they are true. Oh great will be the day when all of us are reunited with our families in the eternities. I would love to be a fly on the wall when you meet Camille again *tears welling again*Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02208646901889058601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-73821106480733056042008-08-11T16:19:00.000-07:002008-08-11T16:19:00.000-07:00Stephanie, I am very encouraged today by your word...Stephanie, I am very encouraged today by your words.<BR/><BR/>My family is really struggling right now and I needed that.<BR/><BR/>TRUTH is the only way my life makes sense...<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much....<BR/><BR/>Julie<BR/>SacramentoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-52537634215693493132008-08-11T16:02:00.000-07:002008-08-11T16:02:00.000-07:00I am also one who has found your blog through vari...I am also one who has found your blog through various other blogs. I am grateful to anyone who helps me become a better mother. Your words and testimony have touch my heart and have me on my knees praying to be a better mom to my kiddos. It also has me longing to live near someone who has cool parties to celebrate SYTYCD. You truly are amazing and I just wanted you to know that someone in Pennsylvania now has you and your family in her prayers.

It was Teachings of President Joseph Smith Lesson 14. It was about death and it has a section that specifically talks about children. If you haven't read it, I would encourage you to.

I wish that I didn't understand what you are going through but do. I will return to read more of your post soon. I too lost a daughter. She was my oldest and I was six months pregnant with our last when the accident happened. KayCee was on her way home from her first youth conference when the accident happened that took her life a couple of days later. I am amazed at where you are mentally and spirritually. It's been a long journey in the past 5 years, but I can add my testimony of Heavenly Fathers tender mercies through all of this. The one thing I am grateful for is the knowledge of what "Hell" is. I feel that this is a taste of what it could be like and take comfort in knowing what is at stake. Either with my death or the resurrection this pain will end as long as I live up to the covenants that Robb and I have made in the sacred temple. I also know that the pain I feel is much the same that Heavenly Father feels with us here, not knowing if we will choose the path that leads back to Him....How tough it was for our Heavenly Father to let us go. I don't want to invade your blog but thanks for your sweet example and sharing your dream. My husband told me once those same things about KayCee being with us more, and helping out more....I've not been as fortunate to have any dreams as you but others have and I'm grateful that they've shared what they have....I have a book I would love to send you called The Message by Lance Richardson it has been one of the best books I've read since losing KayCee. The other one is called Grieving the Pain and the Promise by Deanna Edwards...anyway....sorry for taking up so much space. My prayers are with you and your sweet family. I had 4 girls too, followed by my 2 boys. KayCee would of graduated this year.Debbie Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098362483888052265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-40957993387610359572008-08-10T22:53:00.000-07:002008-08-10T22:53:00.000-07:00As we read scriptures together tonight, Justin, my...As we read scriptures together tonight, Justin, my 4 year old was asking about this very topic...He is so very interested in where Jesus lives and was wondering about the Holy Ghost...Then was wondering about our spirits. I taught him that spirits can be right here on the earth, even though the bodies are in the ground. It was so nice to be able to share with him that in your family, Camille's spirit is near you, in your home and that she can be "with" you. He also gets very excited to know we will be resurrected,just like Jesus was. I loved sharing this Truth w/ Justin. What a comforting thing to understand...especially for you and those that are in a similar situation.
