Our family has been walking through a tragedy the last few weeks. Your prayers along with the Love and Support you’ve shown are so appreciated and have made such a difference for us as we have navigated this difficult time.
In this video I also share some garden projects we’ve been up to, the plans we have for getting chickens, some house work and cooking along with our Easter weekend. Thank you for spending part of your day here with us on my channel.
***** Note: this video contains a brief discussion (with nothing shown graphically) involving the subject of child/infant loss and stillbirth. I wanted to give a gentle warning to those who are sensitive to those topics.

Thank you all so much for the outpouring of love and support for our family during this difficult time. It was such a cathartic and healing experience to film and edit this video for you all. Thanks for giving me an outlet to share my heart and these moments in my life!
Natalie i am so sad to hear this, please pass on my condolences to your sister and brother. RIP little amelia, you were so loved by all the peoples lives you touched. May the lord keep you snuggled in his arms ❤❤
I am so sorry your family is suffering. There are few things that can match the comfort of family and faith when we are overwhelmed with grief. But I'm glad you found a moment to work on your garden. Being outdoors helps me find peace when I need it. Listening to the sounds of nature, feeling the warmth of the sun on your face or your back as you garden, watching the birds at the feeder, and just allowing yourself to escape from the grief in your heart for just a little bit to get you through the day is priceless.
For gardening resources, try Garden Answer. Laura is a gem. She covers everything: food crops and storage, gardening for small and large areas, hardscapes, some crafting, floral design, and she has a chicken coop. I think you will like the overall aesthetic of her gardens.
It breaks my heart that people have to go through such loss. You outlook is inspiring! I also think that there is so much content to consume on Social Media that if you need to take two weeks to film and put out a video it would be great. Although I love your videos and you are a calm and soothing voice. Personally I wish all creators would post less. Sometimes it feels overwhelming to consume so much. Not because I don't enjoy the content but because there is so much to consume. Do what is best for you and your family and I/we will follow no matter what! 💓
Dear Natalie, I do not believe in God, but I respect your faith. I do believe in ”something” ❤ I lost my brother, father and paternal grandmother in the span of 18 months. It was about 10-12 years ago…
As a mama of three angel babies, my heart breaks for your entire family. Prayers and cyber hugs for all. As emotional as this video was, the tears that flowed were so genuine and I really felt your heart in this. I would happily wait two weeks for a video of this quality. The music, the video edits and inclusions – definitely one of your best videos. ❤
Such a beautiful video! Your videos are worth waiting for. Take the time
May the peace of God that passeth all understanding rule in ur hearts as you go through this very difficult time.
Natalie, I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. Thinking and praying for you and your family during this time <3 You put together such a beautiful video story here and I love your music choices
You are blessed to have your family still with you. I suddenly lost my husband just over 2 months ago, sue to a tragic accident on the farm, and I have to raise our baby girl of 7months alone now. Although we have so much support of family and friends, there will always be something missing. Treasure each other, you never know when it’s someone’s last day😔
Sorry for the loss for the baby. My niece listed her baby
I am so sorry for the loss your family has experienced, Natalie. I have not, by God's grace, gone through this personally, however with other hard things of life I know "Because He lives I can face tomorrow"…. For the gardening channels I second the @Gardenanswer , it has quickly become my favorite as of late, but the channels I originally fell in love with was @Parisienne Farmgirl and @The Elliott Homestead, who are not exclusively gardening but I draw much inspiration from… I will be continuing to pray for your family, and hope you have a wonderful spring season!
Natalie, this was a beautiful video. xx
What a beautiful tribute and words to live by. Check out the vintage bombshell. She and her Mom have beautiful gardens and planting. They could help you with ideas maybe.
Natalie, having suffered a miscarriage many years ago, my heart goes out to your sister and family. What a beautiful tribute to her and your family life! Thank you for the inspiration! Your videos are so genuine and reflect the essence of who you are. Hugs❤
what a beautiful video made me feel really at peace!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
This was my absolute most favorite video you’ve ever done. Thank you for being so bold to speak the gospel into a hurting and broken world. We need so much of that hope right now. Thank you for being faithful 🖤
So sorry for your loss.
So much love and prayers to your sister and her husband and all of the family! 💖🙏🏼 It’s at least peaceful to know sweet Amelia is in Jesus’ arms waiting one day to be reunited with you all!! Praying for each one as you deal with this loss.
Gardenanswer with Aaron and Laura is great. Also, when you transplant a plant that large it is a good idea to prune it where it can put energy into getting its roots established
I'm crying, sweet Natalie….I'm so sorry….
I'm a mom to 6 kids and lost one to miscarriage….
I feel your pain…
May God keep you strong in His loving arms🙏
I’m so sorry
I can't tell you how much this blessed my heart today Natalie. Seeing you grieve well with hope is such an inspiration to me through such intense pain and sorrow. It's so easy to grieve with the wrong attitude if you take your eyes off the Lord at all, and I've struggled with that a lot over the last few years and lots of losses of various kinds. Thank you for the reminders and encouragement today sweet friend, praying for you and all of your precious family!
I lost my Daughter at 3 months old, she was a sick baby with being allergic and had awful vomiting multiple times a day (projectile vomiting) I am absolutely Praying for healing hands on your family.
Sorry for your all's loss, Prayers for your family
Dear Natalie, I'm so very sorry for your loss – my heart goes out to your family and especially your sister and her husband. At the same time I feel very happy for all of you for having such a strong family bond – I think that is so special and unfortunately not always the case. Also I would like to tell you that I really appreciate how you are true to yourself and your belief without exluding people who don't share your religion. I felt that not only after watching this video but also lots of times in the past when watching your videos. Thank you for choosing love instead of hate and for making this world a better place. Also: I wouldn't mind if you only posted videos every second week or so – do what makes you happy and keeps you healthy! Much love from Germany <3 Karen
Such a beautiful video! I love that you give the praise and glory to Jesus. My heart has been so broken about Kristina’s loss of precious little Amelia. As a mama it’s just just hard to come to terms with how you make it through that kind of unbelievable loss. And it’s that God gives us grace for the need we have. I know his presence has been real to Kristina and Jake. Obviously to the rest of the family too. Thank you for the healing video. God’s earth has such profound spiritual meaning. Love y’all very much, still praying for y’all too.
Oh Natalie, I’m so sorry. I lost my first, a son, at 39.5 weeks (born on his due date) after a completely healthy, normal pregnancy. I know those wounds well. And yes, it never goes away, but the gift of eternity is so much more real and tangible. I’m praying for your family, and especially your sister’s heart.

And yes, it never goes away, but the gift of eternity is so much more real and tangible. I’m praying for your family, and especially your sister’s heart.

Sending big hugs and prayers ❤️
I am so sorry for your family's loss. May she rest in peace.
It was just before Easter last year that I miscarried early in my second trimester (in total we lost four babies last year, including twins). And yet, through all that heartbreak, I found myself for the first time really understanding what it means that our Redeemer conquered death with His sacrifice on the cross. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
It also made me smile to see that you gardened through your grief. There is something so calming about tending the garden. Love to see your kids joining in. Excited to see your cottage English garden come to life!
My four year old loves to eat the chives right out of the garden too. Then she smells like onion for hours after 😂. Praying for you and your family.
I am so sorry for your family's loss. 😢 HUGS 🫂
This was so beautiful. So healing. Thank you for making this.
Sorry to hear what happened to your sister's baby. I experienced 2 early miscarriages, and I can't even imagine the pain someone experience when they lose a 38-week-old pregnancy. I am so sorry. It is a good thing if someone believes in God and the afterlife. You must be very grateful for being religious. I hope your sister will be better soon! <3
Thank you. It's such a beautiful video. I have only seen a few videos of yours and must be honest, not all times I watched it all, but today I saw the whole thing.
I even thought omg how many hours have you got in your day(s)?? Cause it seemed magical the amount of things and places you're able to reach on one day alone! I mean, what time do you wake up to be able to cook all, go church, and be with the family and still record…
I am not a gardening person, but you almost made me feel the urge to go out to my gardening and get some planting 😂 you're garden harvesting area is becoming beautiful. Everything is blossoming beautifully.
I'm so sorry for yours and your family loss, especially your sister and brother, I can't imagine the pain… and as much as difficult, it can be to imagine a reason for this. Surely God has better plans ahead 🤗😊 Thank you for sharing
This video showed up in my feed and I watched it due to the thumbnail . My wife and I lost a baby at 36 weeks 16 years ago . It was truly one of the worst most heartbreaking things my wife and I had ever gone through . I am so sorry for your loss , but they days do slowly get better . You never forget and you never stop grieving the loss . It just gets a little easier to deal with . My prayers to your family
I'm so sorry for your loss. Baby Amelia is in fact in the best place and spending eternal life in heaven with our Lord 🙏. I hope this gives your sister and her husband comfort.
Thanks for sharing. I’m so sorry that your family is walking through this. Will be praying for you all. It’s so good to be reminded of the goodness when we are walking through such a hard time. I have an angel baby too and know the pain of loss, it’s so hard. ❤
