Update on Abbey

I just wanted to let you all know about our friend Abbey.

First off, right now she is ok!!! :)

I just spoke to Methodist Hospital where she delivered Isabel and they had received several calls on this. They referred me to the St. Louis Park police department. When I called the police they were also aware of the situation. They had been to Abbey's house yesterday (Sunday) at 4. Her dad was there with her at that time trying to help her thru this. I explained who I was and how I didn't really know her and that none of us had any true right to information but that we were all just so concerned about her. I left my home phone number with the police and asked if there was any change could they please let us know. I will keep you updated if I hear anything.

As a side note to Abbey (and I do hope she reads this) - I went to Babyland at Lakewood Cemetary this afternoon. I hadn't been able to stop thinking about you and your sweet baby and I wanted to pay my respects to her. I found her grave, even tho it isn't yet marked, and left some flowers for her to enjoy. I can't imagine the pain you go thru hourly and I can only hope and pray that God gives you the strength to face your sorrow and emerge from your dark days able to live fully again. Please join us again when you can, sweetie - we want to help you.

love,

Anna

Anna,


Thank you for your update on Abbey. I have been concerned about her. I feel so bad for her loss and the greiving process she will have to go through. I will pray for her, for God to carry her through this process.

You are a very sweet lady. Going to Isabels grave to pay your respects. I am glad to see there are people in the world like you who are so compassionate. There are so many distant and closed off people in the world (unfortunately I have some around me) who can only think of themselves. God bless you and your family.When you hear anymore information about Abbey, please fill us in.

All the ladies on this board are GREAT!!

Anna, thank you very much for the update. I have been wondering about Abbey, and keeping her in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad that at the moment she has found some support, I hope she reaches out further when she is ready. I checked out Isabel's web page, and could not get through it at work. I will have to check it out in the privacy of my own home when I am able to cry. When I think of Abbey, I think of the wonderful pictures of Isabel. I can not imagine her loss, but I pray that she will get through it somehow.

Thanks again!!

Anna~ you make me speachless. I have been away for the weekend though had the chance to check in on Sunday morning and saw Abbey's post and posted to her and alerted iVillage immediately. Though there was little I could do at that time, I have been at my whits end with worry~ thank-you for putting our minds at ease. As my e-mail was flooded with concerned board members when I arrived in this morning, I know that everyone else has shared my concern. We will continue to hold Abbey in our prayers and send her strength to get through this very difficult time. You are a truely amazing person sweetie.

Hello Anna,

I wanted to thank you for your post. I read Abbey's post yesterday and was overcome with sadness and also struck by how much all of you have come to mean to me, whether or not I have actually had the chance to "talk" to everyone or not. The sense of community here is overwelming. I think that is something I have missed in my life so far. I don't think I have ever been involved with a group of people, like I am here with all of you. I have always had a bit of a hard time fitting in with people, maybe I am shy or just a little awkward, but I want you all to know that this board (and I am sure there are others) are so important. Everyday, I am floored that you all care so much and are so encouraging to me and each other. Your intervention in this situation just may have saved Abbey's life. My mind is still reeling from that idea. Perfect strangers getting involved...does that even happen anymore? Ok, I am getting all preachy now, but my point is this: You are all amazing people and I hope that Abbey is up to reading at least some of these posts.

Love and hugs to all, Alicia

Anna,

Thank you so much for this update. Abbey, my heart goes out to you. I cannot imagine what you are going through, but I want you to know that we all really do care about you here. I've been thinking of you since I read your shocking post Sunday morning. When you feel up to it, please join us again or at least update us on yourself.

Thank you so much Anna!! I was having a problem sleeping last night thinking about Abbey and a friend from my SOS group. I'm so glad to hear that Abbey is okay and is getting the support that she needs.

I'm really at a loss of words for all the support I've seen come from this board. It's simply amazing.

God Bless,

Heather

Anna,

What a lovely person you are. Thank you so much for updating me on Abbey. I have been hoping and praying for her safety and peace. There should be more people like you in the world to make it a better place. You've certainly done your good deed for the day and maybe the year!! Thank you,

Thanks so much for the update -- I'm so sorry I was out of touch all weekend and only found out what has been going on when I logged on this morning. Everyone has been so wonderful -- I read all the posts. To me it is evidence that God is very much present in all our lives and in this world.

Abbey, please know how much we all care about you. No one can ever really know another person's pain -- even if they've gone through a similar situation -- but please know that we are always here if you need us, no matter what. We are always willing to listen and support and care. And we understand. We are all "sisters". We all want the same thing -- that's why we're here -- and many of us have suffered losses along the way. As I said, our pain is different and we can't begin know what yours is like, but we understand it just the same.

We're always here for you sweetie. Please, please take good care of yourself.

Hugs and love,

Kristin
