I've always believed that the answers are within us...we only need to wait for the experience and path to bring them to the surface.<BR/>That song is beautiful and an answer to prayer for many of us - we pray that you will be comforted and nurtured and that your grief journey will not be alone. You are doing GREAT work. Great work - looking at all the range of emotiona, thoughts, feelings and experiences...and yes, even lyrics that can speak to your soul as it heals.Wash Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09741985749935255684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1122036706358477992005-07-22T08:51:00.000-04:002005-07-22T08:51:00.000-04:00My Name is a very touching song.canadiantaniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09581274607672791886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1122019036136200872005-07-22T03:57:00.000-04:002005-07-22T03:57:00.000-04:00Dejavu freaks me out... kick ass album though.captain_howdy_girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04304305925594308430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1122006503817493252005-07-22T00:28:00.000-04:002005-07-22T00:28:00.000-04:00I believe in both intuition and deja vu. <BR/><BR/>A few weeks before I had a miscarriage, I was struck by a wierd feeling. I realized I did not feel pregnant. Not only were there not many pg symptoms, but I actually felt "empty", and told my husband so. A few weeks later I m/c'd, and it was determined that the embryo had stopped growing 3 weeks prior. <BR/><BR/>I also am not so sure that deja vu is just the brain misfiring and reliving something you just experienced a second ago. Because I swear I have dreamed things that seemed random or weird at the time, only to actually live that moment years later.<BR/><BR/>I love Dido and need to get that CD.kristinhttp://shellsgal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121977518904311362005-07-21T16:25:00.000-04:002005-07-21T16:25:00.000-04:00Karla you are such an amazing person, most people would have wasted away and became invisible. You took it and made something positive for your baby girl, you will get your chance again. Have you ever heard that song "my name-by george canyon" everytime I hear I think about you and your hubby.Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06751328635119368348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121919241834315472005-07-21T00:14:00.000-04:002005-07-21T00:14:00.000-04:00I have read an interesting book titled "The Power of Fear" and the author, who is a prominent law enforcement kind of guy, (I am almost positive he was on Oprah)who said that we absolutely should listen to our intuition about situations. <BR/><BR/>In his case, he was referring more to a type of situation such as man walking behind you, and all of a sudden the hairs on your neck stand up, and that kind of thing. But he really believes that we get into a lot of problems when we don't listen to our guts and try to act in a more "socially acceptable way."<BR/><BR/>I do believe in intuition and just the other day I had a total deja vu moment.<BR/><BR/>As for the song, Karla, it does seem to ultimately be a song of hope.Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11604097511444010759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121872476584422892005-07-20T11:14:00.000-04:002005-07-20T11:14:00.000-04:00I'm covered in goosebumps now.Leesahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11436139686290653801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121842973345075782005-07-20T03:02:00.000-04:002005-07-20T03:02:00.000-04:00i heard the song and it didn't mean much to me before. but after reading your post, this song now carries a different and stronger message. karla, you'll definitely see the sun again. it may take quite a while, but you would be there.<BR/><BR/>i have no good, professional knowledge about déjá vu and intuition. but when denny and i went to check out the apartment we have just bought, once i got into the apartment i had a strong feeling that i had seen it before, like in a dream or something. is that déjá vu?? i dunno, but i call it a "mysterious power" in me.aNNabaNAnahttp://gekkeaNNa.blogdrive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121831444201733762005-07-19T23:50:00.000-04:002005-07-19T23:50:00.000-04:00I knew a man who could read minds.<BR/>I know how this sounds, but I actually “felt” him in mine, and that is probably one of the most unpleasant sensations I’ve ever had. He put a question in my mind and he told me my unspoken answer.<BR/> I lived for some time with what I firmly believe to be a poltergeist and have personally witnessed paranormal phenomenon that I hope never to repeat. <BR/>I know these things are real from personal experience.<BR/>Still, I remain a firm creationist. I believe in intelligent, benevolent design. <BR/>Is it possible that this foreboding you both felt was a way to prepare you so that you had some warning, however vague and muffled by your desire to reject such a dreadful outcome?<BR/>I don’t mean to reject your theory.<BR/>Just some grist for the mill.methatiamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05774940594022381758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121829527996029942005-07-19T23:18:00.000-04:002005-07-19T23:18:00.000-04:00That song really does sound like it was written for you. I'm going to have to hear it. <BR/><BR/>I have experienced those feelings too. Right now I have a strong bad feeling about something happening to my mom. I don't know what, but my guess is she's going to lose her mind completely with grief and guilt over my dad.Juliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08497493113926488342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121823908650998912005-07-19T21:45:00.000-04:002005-07-19T21:45:00.000-04:00I too have experienced this explained awful feeling.

I too lost a child and I had such terrible preminisions before I lost her that I knew something was wrong and something terrible was going to happen. This is weird to me how it happend and I just can't explain the feeling I got but deep down I just knew.

What a powerful song. Looking back on what you have been through, it seems like it was written for you, but hearing it and reacting to it has nothing to do with what happened to your little angel. <BR/><BR/>I don't understand Deja Vu or intuition but I read a very interesting book that came to mind as I read your blog. <BR/>"Expecting Adam" by Martha Beck.<BR/><BR/>AC just came into the room and asked me if I had read your blog and maybe I should tell you about the book. So it came to both our minds for you.Cuppahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06015697402688623317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121808135283351222005-07-19T17:22:00.000-04:002005-07-19T17:22:00.000-04:00WOW KARLA, I don't know what to say to that.<BR/>I'm still praying for you.Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09577377560819946927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121807885957139582005-07-19T17:18:00.000-04:002005-07-19T17:18:00.000-04:00Thank you for sharing your thoughts Anonymous.:)<BR/><BR/>You are absolutely correct in that I wouldn’t have decided any differently about my pregnancy had I known the outcome. <BR/><BR/>Same reason why I refused any genetic testing during my pregnancy (and still refuse to have tests performed on my husband or myself for DNA testing, despite the doctors recommendations and requests). The outcome or results of the test don’t matter. The precious life inside my tummy was all that mattered, no matter what.<BR/><BR/>I am grateful and thankful for the seven hours she graced our lives outside my womb and for the nine months she lived inside of me. I treasure those moments very near and dear to my heart every waking moment, and am a better and stronger person because of her.Karlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05483505184799130550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121807016925294162005-07-19T17:03:00.000-04:002005-07-19T17:03:00.000-04:00Forgive me for trying to explain something that I know little about - but deja vu is actually a chemical lapse in the brain. It's like a little rewind button. The reason that you feel like you've lived that moment before is because you have. A misfire happens in your brain and it replays that exact moment again. <BR/><BR/>I have a question for you. Even if you knew what was going to happen once your perfect daughter was born, would you have chosen not to go through with the pregnancy? <BR/><BR/>I don't always feel that foresight actually helps us. Typically, with the big matters, we wouldn't change our actions even if we knew how awful the outcome would be. <BR/><BR/>I don't believe that you would have terminated your pregnancy with Ava had you known what was going to happen. Even though the turn of events was and is horrible, she still showed you so much more about life than you could have ever seen without her. Her time was short, but she truely is an angel. She came to touch your lives - and she did. Her life touched many of us without ever seeing her.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry if I'm putting words in your mouth of mis-judging your life... I just wanted tell you how I felt about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1121800624901653882005-07-19T15:17:00.000-04:002005-07-19T15:17:00.000-04:00I feel the overwhelming need to say something.
