About Me
- Chrissy
- Pittsburgh, PA, United States
- Blessed mom of 7 ❤️ Dmitri 6.2015, Divino 9.2013, Deluca 10.2011, Dante 2.2009, Eva 3.17.08 (on 3.23.08 @ 2:57 AM ~ Eva went from my chest to the arms of Jesus), Mya 7.2000 & Dominic 5.1996. Eva, the 5th member of our family, was a true blessing from God for 5 days, 18 hrs and 10 minutes. At 13 wks of pregnancy, she was diagnosed with full Trisomy 18. And need I not forget Vinnie, father of 4 of my children, my best friend of 18 yrs, and my ROCK throughout it all. He has been nothing but supportive throughout the entire storm. I couldn't imagine going through this w/ anyone but him. Eva has changed our lives forever. I praise God for Eva and am thankful and grateful for every second we shared w/ her. I will cherish those memories forever. Until we meet again Eva. Mommy loves you! While in Atlanta, 6.27.08, surrounded by my "blog girls", is when I found out that we were expecting Dante. Our due date was 3.6.09, 11 short days before Eva's 1st birthday. My prayers after saying good-bye to Eva were more like begging God for new life. Then, I was still begging God…for a perfect, healthy baby that would get to come home and outlive me. I hope to never bury one of my children EVER again.

Keeping you in my prayers
I am still praying for you and your family. God's going to help you get through this. You just have to depend on Him.
Praying for you as you miss holding your gorgeous baby girl in your arms. May you take some comfort in knowing she is resting safely in her Hevanly father's arms until that wonderful day of your reunion with her. Until then may God comfort your broken heart.
Sending hugs and prayers

I cannot pretend to even begin to fathom your heartache and pain. But our God is BIG ENOUGH! He is FAITHFUL and He WILL see you through this. Cry out to HIM - He loves you and He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

I am praying for you so hard this week and I won't stop. The Lord holds your heart Chrissy and He will bring you through. Eva has touched so many hearts, mine included. May peace flow all over you tonight and in the days ahead. You are loved.

Praying for you - stay strong for Dominic and Mya. You and Vinnie are in our thoughts...
Praying for you and Vinnie to find strength and comfort somehow, through God. Eva and your family have really blessed so many people, me included, and made us realize that life goes by so quickly, that we must cherish every minute of every day. You and your family made every second of Eva's life so precious and I was just in awe of how much you loved on her during your time with her! You are loved and being prayed for by so many! I hope your broken hearts can feel less broken and comforted soon! PRAYING!
I can't imagine the pain. I am praying for peace in your heart.
Ava is an angel watching over you now. I pray that you can find comfort in that. It's okay to feel sad.
Hugs and Prayers from Ohio.
Jessi
Sorry, I'm tired and didn't realize I spelled her name wrong! I'm so sorry.
EVA is in Heaven watching over you!
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. Even though our situations are different, I understand the ache of your heart right now as I recently lost my baby boy. I will be praying for you. Please feel free to email me if you ever need to vent right now.

praying for you chrissy. i know. look at the pictures, hold her things, close your eyes and feel that soft skin again. it's horrible, but you were chosen because God knows you CAN make it through (with Him). and if you don't want to eat, get up, shower... then don't. give yourself room to be a slob until you feel you can face the day again. i don't know about 'it will get better', but cherish the pain because that's an eva-connection you can feel. i "like" the pain because it makes me feel closer to him, like he's still close by. i can still be a parent this way, even by bragging about him, crying about him...
moments at a time. forget day by day. moments.
Dear Chrissy and Vinnie -
I can only imagine your pain in missing your precious daughter, Eva. I continue to pray for you as you experience the emptiness of not having Eva home with you. I pray that God will fill each of you with His love and goodness as you bond as a family (including Mya and Dominic) and search for your place within His Kingdom. May you all feel the strength and love of our Heavenly Father.
Praying for you. It must be a very hard time. I'm so sorry.
Sweet Dear Chrissy - I am praying for you and I am with you on your plea. God WILL sustain us, he promised us and I am holding Him to it!
I am so very sorry....
With love and many many prayers...
Kim
I'm so sorry you have to feel this pain. Knowing you'll be with her again isn't much comfort right now, is it, because you want her back right now. Joshua's mom, Susie, has posted some inspiring things today. If you can make yourself read them, perhaps they will comfort you.
I will be praying that God gives you peace and comfort in your heart of hearts as you go through this difficult time of learning to live without your precious daughter by your side, but in your heart instead.
I'm so sorry! Praying for you in England! Just cling to HIM at this time. Shout at Him, cry to Him, be REAL with Him - He is big enough to take it and He understands your pain better than any of us can! (((HUGS)))
Hugs...
Oh, Chrissy..my heart just breaks for you...continuing to lift you up to The Prince of Peace.
If you need to talk, please call me.
Praying for you now....
Love you,
Alicia
Chrissy,
Words fail me. I am praying for your comfort.

So hard...praying for you!
Chrissy,
I've been praying so hard since I read the news Easter morning.
Lisa in NC
You are in my prayers...I can't imagine your pain...God bless you.
Chrissy & Vinnie,
You know you are in our prayers. God will get you through this, as hard as it is. Count on Him. I'm here if you need me.
Love you,
Tracy

Chrissy- My heart truly is breaking for you, lifting you and your family in prayer. Trust in Our Great Father. He is so very faithful. No words can say,

Psalm 119:77 (NLB) Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live.
Psalm 34:18 (NLB) The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit.
Romans 8:26 (NIV) And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don't even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
...lifting you up in prayer

Chrissy,
Please know you are not alone and that so many are praying for you. God promises to carry us through all of this and He will! It is okay to feel sad and to miss her though. If you need to talk I am just a phone call away. Be gentle with yourself! I love you!
Kristy
I've been praying for you and your family. Hold tight to the hand of God and the promises that He has given us. There are so many people that love and care for you that are interceding on your behalf to the Father. I will continue to pray for you and Vinnie and your children. Eva is so beautiful and precious! God Bless You!
Jacquie in TX
Words just aren't enough to comfort you. I never lost a baby so I don't know...I can only imagine your pain and sorrow, and when I do my heart aches. Praying for you in NV.
Dear Chrissy,
I am still praying for you. I can't imagine what you are going through but God knows & He will carry you.
Emily
He hears you and will help you! It breaks my heart thinking about the pain you must feel! Please know that you are prayed for often! May God give you the peace, strength, and love to carry you through today and always! God Bless You!
I'm praying for you as you grieve the loss of your precious daughter. If Jesus could weep over a death He knew He was going to bring to life (Lazarus), I am sure He sees your tears and is ready to walk with you no matter how long or where your grief takes you.
Chrissy,
I am so sorry, words can not express my sympathy for you. I am praying for you and your family and can't imagine what you are going through.
God Bless,
Jenn in CA
I am praying for you and your family! Be assured as the noise of life goes on all around you that our Lord knows right were you are. He can hear a pin drop and a heart ache!
" Precious in the eyes of the Lord are the death of his saints. "
Psalms 116:15
I am so sorry for what you are going through. Your simple three phrases brought tears to my eyes - I can't even imagine how you are feeling and I wish I had something to say that would lessen your pain.
I did get a chuckle at the picture of your legs, though! I had the same problem with retaing fluid from my c-section. In fact, when I went home from the hospital I only weighed 3 pounds less than I did when I went into the hospital a full 9 months pregnant! It lasted about a week, then one morning the fluids seemed to flush out and I actually lost about 20 pounds of water weight in only a couple of days!!!
Anyhow - Please know that I am praying for your family and think of you frequently!
God Bless -
Allison
I feel your pain. How I would love to have my babies here with me. But I look forward to raising them in heaven, in a sin free world. May you find some comfort in that.
Chrissy-
There are no words of comfort that I can give you... only the Lord can fully understand and be the One to comfort and restore you. But, I do understand the hurt, the pain, the love and the hope that comes. I've been praying for you all the time! If you need anything, PLEASE let me know!
Love so much!
Kenzie
Praying for you and your precious family.
Praying for you! Thinking of you daily!
