Walking With You was created to help support those who have lost a child. Together we share our stories, helpful information, scriptures, encouraging words, prayer requests, and more. Thank you to those of you who have joined us for the past few weeks...for courageously sharing your stories. If you haven't joined us yet, and would like to, you are more than welcome. This week, we are sharing our first steps into the sea of grief.
After I found out I lost my baby all I could do was cry. For the first week I just laid in bed and cried. I wouldn't eat and hardly came out. The second week I decided to go back to school. Every time something would come up about a baby, I would start crying in the class. I hated going to the mall, because I would cry when a pregnant woman would walk by or when I would see a little baby. It took a little while to be able to endure pregnancy and babies. It has been 3 years and 2 babies later and I still have days when I will remember that day and break down and cry. I dont think it is something that will ever heal completely.
I think you are right, Ivy. It won't ever completely heal but it does get better. Those reminders can sting.
ReplyDeleteIt hurts to remember, but its a part of your baby that lives in your heart. ~Prayers
ReplyDeleteNo matter how long it's been, it hurts. The hurt is just different along the way.
ReplyDeleteI know so much what you mean. At certain times it's harder & it's always there. This past wk for me has been difficult. Prayers & HUGS

Ivy...it is true that there will always be a "missing place" in your heart for your baby...a place that is tender and can be touched with certain memories. Praying the Lord's continued comfort for you in those moments...
