Dear Sandra, I am so sorry to read about the loss of your beautiful, precious child. You are in my thoughts. xx
Sandra, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your baby. You moved me to tears with your great faith. I am so glad you shared your very personal story. I will be praying for you and your family. God bless you. Beth
Oh Sandra, my heart breaks for you. Yet I am also comforted in the faith and peace that God has given you. It is a great testamony to our Lords love and kindness. Only in Him can you find peace in the storm. I am praying for you and your family. Aggie
My Aaron Christopher is there to greet your little one and show him around. I just got home, and haven't read all the responses, so I apologize if this has already been posted. It's a picture of your precious little one. being held by One who loves him even more than you do.....
Thank you for that beautiful picture. Your words are comforting. I could not sleep well last night. I went to bed at 12:30 PM and woke up at 4 AM. I can't go back to sleep. I spent the hours updating my online blog. I read my past posts there about the baby and broke down in tears. I guess it is when I am physically alone that I feel so sad. Tim and the boys are still sleeping so I stayed here in the dining room. Today, Timothy wants to have a cookout at home. I want to celebrate the day with my family but my heart feels guilty for moving forward another day. I am going to pray to God for strength today so that I can spend the holiday with my boys and husband. I still feel God's presence and I know he is holding me up. I guess it is hitting me hard right now. Thank you all so much for opening your hearts to me. Your thoughts and prayers have made a difference.. PLEASE continue to keep me and my family in prayer.
Don't feel guilty! One thing I found that helped with the healing process WAS the day-to-day normalcy whether I wanted it or not. My older 3 were fairly young (5 and under) when I went through this for the first time and keeping it together for them is what helped myself keep it together for me.
I had a misscarriage between my two dd's. It was a sad thing for sure, but really tore my husband up alot. I go weeks, months not thinking about it, and he will bring it up. I just quit feeling pregnant at a bout 8 or so weeks and by 11-12 I misscarried. It did change my second pregnancy in that there was the nagging doubt the whole time. The misscarriage was weighing on my mind even more once they told me that the next pregnancy's placenta looked prematurely aged and started giving my extra exams and monitoring. There are alot of random things that can go wrong genetically with cell division etc, and most do not make it past the 10-12 week stage. 1 out of 8 pregnancies do not make it past this stage, hence the fact that most woman did not announce a pregnancy before 3 months back in the day. God has that little one in his hands either way.
I am so sorry to hear this news You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I, too, have been through the sadness of a miscarriage.
Sorry and hugs. I to have felt your pain. I had two before I had my one and only. I will be praying for you and your family.
I am so sorry. I will keep you in prayer this week as you deal with the everyday things. Thank you for sharing your faith and testimony. God's grace shines through your pain. ((((HUGS))))
I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that you have the love and support of your family. I wish you strength and peace at this difficult time.
I'm so sorry for your loss. And I know THIS is true, "ALL things work together for good, for those who love God.". That is ALL things, even these earthly ones. We lived in AZ at the time. I'll share a story. 2003 was a BAAAAAAD year for our family. We were robbed. My husband had a cyber indescretion, and I had a miscarriage. I questioned, I asked. I begged to know why. Then in mid 2004, I got pregnant again, ALMOST miscarried, but did not. Had a very difficult pregnancy, etc. I won't chronicle that here. After our youngest was born in 2005, my Mom came to visit for a week. It was only her 2nd time visiting since we had moved to AZ. We had a great week (and knowing my Mom's and my relationship, you would know what an anomoly that was). She went home to PA/NJ area. A week later I get a call from my Stepfather. My mother had been in a serious car accident. I got on a flight with our youngest (who was only 7 weeks old at the time), knowing that I was going to say goodbye to my mother. I made it to the hospital, she was alive by machines, but she was not alive. If you know what I mean. I said my peace. I said goodbye. I kissed her for the last time. She died two days later when they removed the machines. All this to say, IF the baby that was in me in 2003 had been born, she would have come to visit THAT baby, and not our now youngest. And it would have been more than a year since I had seen my mother when she died. And we would have had soooo many issues unresolved when she died, had she not visited that week before. Also, as a result of it all, a good friend of the family got saved at my mother's funeral. She(my mother) was already His. Monique wasn't. Now. I know that God is up above, and He orchestrates all events in our lives, and the lives of others for HIS glory and HIS good pleasure. And HE is worthy. I am praying for peace, I am praying for comfort, for love and generosity of others to surround you at this time. And that one day, either on this side of heaven or that, that you have the peace and joy of understanding the why. Know that you are loved here and being prayed for. Krista
Like the many others, I'm so sorry for your & your families loss. All I can offer you is a BIG cyber hug & prayers for you all!!!
Those poems were beautiful. Thank you everyone for the prayers and those wonderful (((hugs))) I slept all day today. My body is still in in pain off and on. I have been crying alot but still praying to God for comfort and peace. Today I read Isaiah 63:7-9 (New Living Translation) Praise for Deliverance 7 I will tell of the Lord’s unfailing love. I will praise the Lord for all he has done. I will rejoice in his great goodness to Israel, which he has granted according to his mercy and love. 8 He said, “They are my very own people. Surely they will not betray me again.” And he became their Savior. 9 In all their suffering he also suffered, and he personally[a] rescued them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years.
