Introduction

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.”(2 Corinthians 1:3-5)
I’ve decided to blog about my journey through the mourning of our loss of our baby. I have always found that writing has helped me work through things and it also helps me to be able to look back and see how far I’ve come especially when I get discouraged or feel like the pain will never end. Why am I making it public and not just a private journal? I’ve found when I have tried to work through pain or even grief completely by myself without talking to others or letting others know where I am at, I begin to isolate and turn inward. I also fully trust that God will use this pain and heartache to help others who have been through loss and pain and haven’t ever really addressed it, are in the process of addressing it or are at the beginning of the pain or loss not quite sure which way is up. WARNING: At times it may be very raw, wordy and even may include TMI (too much information). This is my place to be completely open and honest. This is also why I decided to make this a separate blog so that if family and friends chose not to read about all of this that they wouldn’t be forced to just to see our other family updates.
