Forwarded to me by my dad, who is a secular Carmelite, from one of his sisters in Carmel:
My family in Carmel,
I humbly ask for prayers for my son, Justin, and daughter-in law, Cristina. They suffered a miscarriage yesterday. Cris was 10 weeks along. May God bring them comfort and peace.In Jesus’ name,
Olga
Please pray for them and for all parents who have lost a child. I pray that they are given the same abundant consolations I have received through the intercessions of all who have been praying for me. God is a loving Father and never abandons us in our time of need. May he send his Spirit upon Justin and Christina and fill them with his peace.
Katherine,
Unfortunately, there isn’t really a window she could watch him through. And for her I think a big part of the problem is not so much that he’s leaving as that she wants to go outside too.
Melanie,
I don’t know if this will help with Bella’s crying when Dom leaves but I thought I’d share. Cecilia does the same thing. But if I take her to the window where she can see him leave (not just see the door close) and he waves to her and she to him, she doesn’t cry at all. Of course if we don’t do that she gets quite upset at that obnoxious door for closing behind daddy.
