A sweet friend of mine is experiencing her second loss today. She has an adorable little boy, but lost twins prior to his birth, and has had a long hard road to having children. This breaks my heart. She and her husband are good, stable, God-loving people who have so much to offer a child. It is so unfair that they are the ones experiencing this loss, not the maybe 16 year old girl that I saw at a gas station today, with her boyfriend who could only put $1 worth of gas in their car, who looked to be about 5-6 months pregnant. Seriously?!?!? These two clearly had no business having a baby, yet there she is with a healthy pregnancy and my sweet friend is losing a baby. It is frustrating and I know I shouldn't be judging and I shouldn't worry about what other people have, etc, etc.
This leads me to a conversation that my friend, Keiah (She wrote "Aftermath" the book I was raving about--google it!) and I had today. We were talking about waiting and about being jealous not of the husband or child that others had, but that they were living the life we wanted, being jealous of their situation, and how we really had to focus on Him and not on everyone else and what they have. That fit right in with a great post from my other dear friend, Shandrea, check it out here. What I have to say after a day like today is that I really am blessed with great friends who have huge hearts for God and I am so grateful for them and their accountability!
So, please say some prayers for my friend, GG, and her sweet hubby, B, and son, N! They are hurting so badly, a second loss does something different to your mind than just one, but praying that they will have peace, and healing!
This is post # 99!!! Awesome, number 100 will come soon!

Oh Deni, I am so sorry for their loss! You are right...one loss and you feel like it "happens" after the second you really start to feel like something is wrong! Two (or more)losses really does play mind tricks.
ReplyDeleteLove you sweet friend and know that I am praying for you and GG!
The unfairness of life is frequently something with which i really struggle. I don't know why God made our life to be this way, but i'm sure there is a reason. I don't necessarily believe in "reason it is happening to ME" but a reason that life works as it does.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to be asking for your friend. Praying for her family, for your family & for all of us. :)
Going to bed shortly and I will be praying special prayers for GG and her family. My heart aches for her and this heavy weight called grief that none of us would ever wish on another.
ReplyDeleteAs for those "unsuitables", that is called LIFE and as I am discovering it is NOT fair :( However, we pray that God can soften our heart and fill us with greater understanding. And give us peace in the moment.
Love you sweet friend
xoxo

ReplyDeleteDeni -
ReplyDeleteMadeline linked me your blog and I have been following continuously ever since. I'm so sorry for your hard journey, but know that God will teach us our greatest lessons in our trials. I try to remember that every single day in my journey as well. It will be 3 years soon that we've been dealing with infertility. In some ways it seems like a lifetime, and in others just the blink of an eye. Praying for you..
I'm so sorry about your friend. :(
ReplyDeleteSaying special prayers for your friends. Hearing about loss always breaks my heart. :(
