Although my husband’s family is Dutch, we had nothing to do with these tulips. The cemetery plants 20,000 tulips every Spring for Easter in a section called “the garden.” This garden is filled with different things year round. Beautiful!
I hope you will find this website a place of comfort if you are grieving or a place to gain understanding if you're walking with a friend through loss or maybe you just clicked here from one of my other blogs and want to get back to birthing with guinever or at home with guinever.
Please realize that you're not alone in the feelings that you might be experiencing. Also know that true and lasting comfort
comes only from the Lord.
Webster defines grief as,"The pain of mind produced by loss, misfortune, injury or evils of any kind; sorrow; regret. We experience grief when we lose a friend, when we incur loss, when we consider ourselves injured, and by sympathy, we feel grief at the misfortunes of others."
So if you decide to stay awhile, grab a box of tissues. As you explore this site, you'll find out why I am no stranger to grief.
blogs I read from other mothers who have lost children
hair like hers wispy and blonde I see a girl with her mother alive
I used to have a girl like that
but now she is vanished. . . .

hope in God
Why are you cast down , O my soul?
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
for I shall yet praise Him
for the help of His countenance.
Psalm 42:11
I invite you to look at my pictorial walk through the cemetery
That’s so sad. It makes me feel really sad for you that you went through this. I’m really sorry.
The flowers and the name are Dutch. You’re not Dutch are you?

Does he still speak Dutch? I live in Amsterdam,my husband is Dutch. It is a beautiful place to honour your child and it still makes me sad.
Thank you for letting see some of you life.
My husband never spoke Dutch. I mean to say that his roots are Dutch if we go back several generations. Sorry for the confusion.
Yes, the place where my daughter is buried is beautiful. I am thankful for that.
Blessings, Guinever
