"Jesus said to her, 'I am the
resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though
they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe
this?'"
(John 11:25-26)
October is
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.
This is such a painful topic and I’ve given it a lot of thought, a lot
of reflection, and a lot of prayer this year.
This tragedy affected my family and it has been a very difficult time
for everyone, but mostly for the parents of this adorable baby girl who was
taken way too early. What do you say to
someone who has lost a child? It’s an
unbearable heartache that no one should endure.
The loss of anyone is difficult, but a child is excruciating. There
really are no words, so all we can do is remind you to hold onto your faith and
look to God for support and know that He will get us through these difficult
times.
"So do not fear, for I am with
you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
(Isaiah 41:10)
You are not alone in your suffering and grief; Jesus
died from much suffering so that He can bring us peace through His Holy Spirit. Put your faith and trust in God, and know
that He will never abandon you. Lean not
on our own understanding, and rejoice knowing that one day you will hold that
precious child in your arms again. God
will give you the strength you need to endure and He will make you a much
stronger person. Keep your hearts open
to receiving His undying love for you!
Remember He is our Heavenly Father and just like us, we want the best
for our children. If for some reason we
cannot have them, rejoice because they are in God’s loving arms and those loved
ones that are already with Him!
