I have so much to post; I'm so far behind. However I've been going through my own personal hell for the past few months. I can't believe this is happening to me. I never thought I would be a statistic of divorce. The kids and I are moving to the valley next week. Keep us in your prayers especially my children. I know with the Lord's help and the support of my friends and family I will get through this. I'm not ignoring anybody and know that I love all of you. I just can't blog or read other people's blogs right now. Its too hard and it hurts too much.

Hey sister Hatch, I am in your ward. I lead the music. Probably do not really remember me. BUT I hope you and your sweet ones move smoothly and that the Lord's comfort and peace pour over you and the kids.

Oh, Rachel I am SO sorry! I am SO shocked by your post. I love you and am also here for ANYTHING that you may need. Prayers will FOR SURE be said for ALL of you. Know that Heavenly Father LOVES you and will hold you when you need Him to.:)

Truly and Shane said...

Oh Rachel, Oh big sister! You are one of the strongest people I know. You're so good to your kids. You reassure them that they don't have to be as strong as they look or act and that its ok to cry. You've always; always put them first and I love seeing that but I hope you do take this time to lean on others and find a little time to take care of yourself too. I realize now more than ever how special Brinley is to come to this earth and be your daughter at this particular timing in your life. I can't help but think how proud our Heavenly Father is of you as he watches over you and the kids. My friend once told me there are testimony builders every single day if we will pay attention to the reality of his presenc in our lives. I will never forget that.
Thinking of you often, praying for you always. I have such a stong testimony of prayer, Rach- you will get through this. I don't know how but HE does! Listen to him.

All My love-
*TRU

I don't know if you're even up to reading these but if you are I want you to know that you and your precious children are in my prayers. You never realize how you feel about a person until you hear about a person's heartache. You are a remarkable woman and mother. I look up to you and your strength. I agree with the other post. This can happen to anyone. You are not just a statistic. People have their freeagency. I am so, so sorry. Just know that one more person is praying for you...

Kenyon said...

I am so sorry Rachel. My heart hurts for you. I know your pain is deep and it might sometimes feel like you cant go through it. I promise with all my heart YOU CAN. It will take time. You will be happy and Whole again. You have always been a special girl with a sparkle in her eyes.

I have had deep pain at times of trial and I promise you will get through this and be stronger, wiser and be treated the way Heavenly Father wants you to be.Your family will be in my prayers.

I love you

I am so sorry to hear about this. I know there is nothing I could say or do to really help. But like all the others that have already commented, I would love to help in any way. Remember that you are not alone and your precious family will come through this stronger than ever. Remember to keep looking for and seeing all the happy, good things that happen each day. You are an awesome, fun, beautiful person never forget that!!

My sweet, sweet Rachel, I know it may seem odd that I'm commenting on your blog at a time such as this, but I want you to know, as I've said before, that this is going to turn out to be a blessing in disguise. You are going to heal and regain your self worth and your children are going to come throught with flying colors, because they have the best mom in the whole world. You are an amazing woman. I look up to you more than you can possibly imagine. You are one of my heros. I mean that! I know I get very emotional and angry over everything that has happened, but I promise I'll be good while you live with us!! There's a great big wonderful world out there waiting for you. You and the kids are going to be just fine. I KNOW it. I won't ever say anything negative about Shaylar in front of the kids....or even on your blog (which is a little hard for me right now). Everyone already knows what kind of person he is. Love, Mom

Hey Rach! You probably don't remember me but I'm an old neighbor, Liz Schroeder. I came across your blog and wanted to say how sorry I am that your hurting like this. But your mom said it best you will look back on this experience as a blessing in disguise. And you and your sweet lil ones will all be blessed. You're a strong woman and a very caring mother. I KNOW you'll get through this. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers!

Much love,
Elizabeth Blatter(Schroeder)

Malia said...

Hey Rachel,

I hadn't been to your blog in a while and can't believe the news. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you and the kids and I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you. I can't picture a better place for you and your kids to be than with your parents.

Love ya, Malia
