This brought tears to my eyes. What a sweet little girl. How good God is to send you the little gift of the birds and their nests in the post above. Sometimes He sends us little things like that at just the right time to remind us that He is there.

How wonderful that this loss was shared in such an intimate way with Sifra’s siblings. Too often children are shielded from the reality of death and this may bring unwarranted fears. It takes courage to do this, but your nieces will be strong (like the rest of your family)

All of this life and death and remembrance. I am going through some of it now myself. My heart goes out to you at this time and always. You’re words about what you are all feeling and thinking have been wise and give me strength too. Thank you for that.

Tabita is a wise little girl to talk about loss. It’s a way of remembering and eventually healing that can only help all of you — just as your sharing of sad times also helps others who have suffered loss.

The comment above me from Lori so captures it all!

Thanks again for sharing the personal moments!

I’m sure all of us are learning something from all if it which we’ll apply to our own lives at some point -

I know I will!

Esther…I have the greatest respect for the way your family handles happy and sad things. It is real and you have developed such a sense of humility, regardless of age. Your wisdom and amazing sense of expression are so moving to all of us out here…

I hope the experience will help all of you process. Such a sad story, but you’re all getting through it together, and that will help.

It is good that Tabita will talk about her little sister Maria Sifra and her grandmother. The photos and videos will help her to remember them always. I share your sorrow.

Esther: Certainly a sad time and a time of remembrance, I hope the little ones stay strong through this.
