im so sorry
im in tears, i cant imagine your pain

i just happened to stumble across this, but i was researching vaxes today and was on the fence about if i should (delayed) vax my daughter at all, well now i know

[wife&mommy]

Wow I am so sorry for your loss, but thank you for sharing your story.

[papayapetunia]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing her story with us.

[elizawill]

i'm crying. that's SO sad! i'm not vaccinating my children. i was so torn as to what my decision should be and felt i needed to defend myself with the no-vax route. well...forget that. my gut feeling is all i need for an answer. thanks so much for sharing your story.

I remember when Marissa died, but didn't realize the connection to the vaccines. Thank you so much for telling us about it.

We've been hurt by medical "treatment" too, and it was bad enough, I still wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety attacks over it, but it was nowhere near what your family has suffered. I'm in tears right now. I'm just so sorry.

Oh mama I am so so sorry for your family and your darling girl

[mamadelbosque]

Wow, that is a truely heart renching story... I don't know what to say, except your story has helped to solidify my belief that my soon-to-be son does not need any of these vaccines - and especialy not MMR/DTaP. I had/have a 'seizure disorder', having spent 10 days in coma at age 6 due to a status seizure that lasted for a couple of days... Nothing since then. The only thing I know about vaccines is that *MY* old neuro didn't want me getting MMR - and he's about as standard pro-everything doctor (don't know how else to put it) as they come. So, he obviously knew something about that vaccine.

Thank you again mamas (and dads, too). Knowing that Marissa has touched people in such an important way means so much to me.

[luvmy2boys]

Every once in a while the "what ifs" get to me and I start to question my decision not to vax. And then I read a story like this and come to my senses.

Even if one of my children were to somehow contract one of those rare, horrible diseases, I can't imagine it being any worse than this. This is truly awful and I'm so, so sorry you and your family had to go through it. The best comfort I can possibly offer is that your darling daughter didn't suffer for nothing. By telling her story, you are helping others avoid a similar tragedy for their children.

[Pookietooth]

to you mama. So sorry for your loss.

[SoCaliMommy]

I am so, so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story.

Your sweet daughter. She was the same age as mine. When I was pregnant back in 1997 I never realized how difficult the whole issue of vaccines would become. It must be so painful for you to remember. Know from your willingness to share this story, many of us will remember Marissa now and be inspired to keep questioning the mainstream position on vaccines. This is especially important in light of the efforts to push Gardasil on young girls-- the age Marissa would be coming up on.
how ANGRY it makes me to read that part of the push is that the manufacturer is trying to profit from this vaccine before a competing one comes out from a different drug company in the next year.
Marissa's story will not be forgotten as I follow this issue. Thank you on behalf of my own daughter.

Just when I question myself and consider listening to the mainstream world, and going ahead with vaccinations, I stumble across something like this. Thank you so very much for posting this and sharing your heartbreaking event. I'm so sorry that you had to go through this, but I hope this will help some parents decide on whether or not to vaccinate. It has caused me to re-think and I still need to do some more research on the illnesses that 'they' want me to vaccinate against.

Thanks again, mama.
