Loss

*** This happened Sunday, but I am just now able to post it.  Thank you all for your caring words, thoughts and prayers.



This is a terrible post to have to do.  I wish today had gone differently.  I wish today hadn't arrived so swiftly.  I wish I could go back a week in time and just remain there, blissfully unaware of what is about to happen.

I lost the baby today.

I am grief-stricken by it.  Wishing there weren't so many people to tell.  But, thankful there are so many to help raise me up out of the grief.

I will be ok.  We all will.  But, it is a terrible loss to endure.

Please forgive me if I am unable to speak about it for a while.  I can't fathom what to say.

I hate seeing my husband grieve.

I hate seeing the sadness in Cooper's eyes.

I hate every cramp I am experiencing, reminding me what is happening.

I am thankful for all the friends and family trying to help us through this.

We will be ok.  I will be ok.  But it feels like such a heartbreak.  How does one get over the love of a being so tiny and unknown?  I will never hold this child in my earthly arms.  Will never look into the eyes of this baby.  But, I am attached forever.  This baby is ours and I know we will meet again. 


I love you sweetheart.

Psalm 34:18  The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

  2. Our hearts grieve with yours. Our tears fall with yours - yet we cannot know your depth of grief and heartbreak. Just know you are deeply loved and prayed for. Pastor Ken and Linda

  3. Abby-I am so sorry. I have lost 4 babies and it is such a difficult time. Allow yourself time to grieve, no matter how small our babies are, our love begins before we ever meet them. Asking the Lord to wrap His arms around you and be the lifter of your head. Rest in Him.
