It’s easy to get angry. Sometimes, as hard as it is, we have to trust “the bigger picture” and since we don’t have the ability to see what that is right now this moment, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist or that it isn’t good for us. Much light to you.

I still struggle with the grief aspect…yes, we’ve chosen to move forward and embrace life, but this little one is still in my heart. I still think of him/her and wonder…and then I just choose trust because I have to. He’s got a plan for all of us. :) Thanks for reading.

I think you have every right to grieve. I don’t have children, but there was once a time when I did want them. I understand. You’d already received this soul into your life, already started being a parent to her in your heart and you already gave her love. We can’t know what kind of karma is playing in the background. Yours, hers, her family’s.

But I am welling up with tears over this … that you heart grieved so much.
I grieved as well… over a child.
But the child meant for us came in 1994. I hugged her tight, oh so tight. She is now almost 19.

know you are hugging your baby tight today.
Hearts be blessed at your house, my friend.
XOXO
Heather

Lean on us as you cry your hot tears and grieve. We don’t judge; we hold you close. I still remember the pain of my first pregnancy — which ended in a miscarriage at 9 weeks. Even if grief doesn’t make practical “sense,” it doesn’t make it any less real. I pray that you start to feel the light of love lift you up in the weeks to come and please, please let me know if there’s anything you need! xxoo.

So, I will just say that I’m sorry you had to experience such a deep pain, one that other people made worse. I pray that Jesus holds you close as you grieve, and that He blesses you with redemption of your pain. Sending you love, hugs, and a listening ear whenever you need one, for as long as you need them:)
