Before Knox was born I was asked by Kaitlyn over at Wifessionals.com if I wanted to be a guest blogger and write my story about Sloane I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share my story, keep Sloane's story alive, and hopefully give other women who might be going through something similar hope! That all changed once Knox was born and I realized that it was me who needed the support from others rather than be that support to them. However I knew I needed to not only tell Sloane's story but also include Knox's. Not only could I give support to others maybe there would be someone out there that could lend me some. This is the first time that I am actually writing out both stories and my experience. It was hard reliving my experience with Sloane and actually writing about Knox in the past instead of present.
Please support me and head over to my sweet friend Kaitlyn's blog and read my journey through what is the most hardest thing I am going through, for the second time.

Ashley, I found your blog after reading your post on Wifessionals and I just wanted to reach out to you ... even though I don't know you and I've only just "met" you, my heart breaks for you and your family at what you have endured. Opening up especially in blogland can be kind of terrifying, and I think you are so brave for sharing your story and allowing others to know and remember Sloane and Knox. I will keep you and your family close in my prayers and I am wishing you peace during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteYou are a beautifully strong woman!! My heart breaks and tears are like a waterfall as I read your story! I know that no words could take away your pain or hurt, but LOVE && PRAYERS are being sent your way!! God is with you and is using you in such a big way!!
ReplyDeleteKind Regards,
Tara Philipp @ Laila's Charming Pieces xoxo
So incredibly proud of you for being able to share your story. I can't even imagine how tough it was! Reading it literally had me in tears and still just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. My heart goes out to you and I know that many of my friends have been keeping you in their thoughts and prayers as I had shared the news with some of them when I first found out because I was so heartbroken for you and have continued to talk about you as I tell them that I wondered how you were doing. I know I have told you a million times, but you are without a doubt one of the strongest women that I know and I am sure that God would never put you through this if He didn't know that you would find a way through it and without having some purpose in mind. Though you may not be able to see it now, something will come from this. Love you with all my heart girl! Sending you and your family so much love, hugs, & prayers!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteJust read your post on Kaitlyn's blog. I died a little inside with each word I read. I'm so sorry for both your losses and can't imagine your tremendous amount of strength.
ReplyDeleteI just read your post on Kaitlyn's blog and knew immediately I had to visit your blog and let you know how much I admire you for sharing your story. I can't even begin to imagine what you and your family are going through. You have an incredible strength and spirit. Sending love, prayers & good thoughts your way.

ReplyDeletei just finished reading your post over at kaitlyns blog and my heart just broke as i read your story & you don't even know how sorry i am you had to go through that. i am going through infertility problems and as i read your story i asked my self "whats worse loosing a child or not being able to conceive a child" & i automatically felt your pain. your babies are in heaven in a good and safe place so for now take good care of your baby and enjoy her to the fullest because some of us aren't as fortunate. May god bless you and your beautiful family =)
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley--
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your story!! It brought me to tears to read about the heart wrenching journey your family has gone through. You are so strong and such a wonderful mom. I'm sorry that you've had such heartache. I'm sure it was hard to write out your story but I love the way you said you wanted to keep their stories alive and share them with everyone. Thank you for doing it. I will keep you and your family in my prayers and look forward to following your blog and getting to know your family better. Thinking of you!! :) Whitney
Hi! I read your story on Kaitlyn's blog- I knew going in that it was going to be a rough read but I found myself wishing for a happy ending that I knew wouldn't come. I stepped back to digest what I had read and to pray for your family and that was when I realized I didn't read the end of your story. I only read one chapter in your story. You have two beautiful angels waiting for you in heaven (I am sure you won't need to go looking for them there- they'll be welcoming you with open arms). I don't know your pain and I am so sorry for your loss. I will hug my son a bit tighter today, Thank you for your strength, thank you for sharing your story, I will continue to pray for you and your beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteI love you sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteI also found your blog from reading Wifessionals. I cried the entire time. Sorry doesn't even begin to describe what I am feeling. I am beyond sorry for what you and your family have gone through and are currently going through. You are a very strong woman. It breaks my heart to see someone go through this not only once, but twice and both situations are unique in their own right. Have the doctors gave you any indication if and what happened? Was it because of the short uterus? I am worried and a bit scared as I also had precancerous cells that were removed 4 years ago. I had three areas removed and go in for yearly exams to make sure everything is fine. But as we start trying for a baby, it hasn't been easy. We are going on 6 months and I fear that the surgery 4 years ago could be affecting my chances. Reading your story has opened my eyes to a lot of things and I want to follow your story. Again, I am so sorry for your losses, but thank you so much for sharing your story with everyone. You and your husband are so brave and kind. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley--
ReplyDeleteI also found your blog from your guest post over at Wifessionals. I just wanted to tell you how brave you are. I too am a loss mama and reading your words touched home for me. I won't say I know how you feel because no one does. That has been the one thing that has bothered me so much since my loss, hearing someone say "Oh you can try again and Oh, I've been there it gets better." I just wanted you to know you're helping so many people with your story, and you're brave for speaking about your loss. I just started blogging about my own experience. I'd love to hear from you about how you've coped with multiple losses, and gained the courage to try again. You're so inspiring! Thank you for your truthful words.
xoxo
