A Quick Thought

This is just a quick note to myself that I think will facilitate some healing on my part. I was watching a National Geographic movie called "In the Womb" a couple of days ago. It was very well done and fascinating. My problem was that all that I could think of during the first little bit was the miscarriage I had. It will be 3 years in April. My baby was developed to 5 weeks but I didn't find out until 8 weeks. He would have had a beating heart and the beginnings of electrical brain impulses. Yes I say he because I belive this baby was a boy. I believe that he was just not ready to come to our family at that time for some reason or another. I will not even begin to question God's purposes. I only have faith that He has my best interests at heart. Please don't get me wrong either, I felt my Savior by my side during this whole experience. That was the most spiritual Easter I have ever had in my life. I truly learned what the Atonement means to me and my family. At first I thought how silly that I would still be sad about this after this much time has passed but I now realize it won't matter how much time has passed I will mourn this loss for the rest of my life. It may not always be as painful as it is now but I will always have a spot in my heart for this experience that taught me so much. I know that at some point I will be able to raise that baby whether in this life or during another time in my existence. I know that he will be a part of my eternal family and for that knowledge I am more grateful than words will ever be able to express. My love and prayers go out to any family that has had to deal with this kind of loss and I hope that if you haven't found love and peace through our Savior Jesus Christ that you will seek it. I promise you it will come!

Thank you Kristy! I need to hear that today! My heart goes out to you, lossing someone is one of the hardest things to go through in life. I have never had a miscarriage or lost a baby or child but losing Kevin and Darin and watching their moms, as made me realize it doesn't matter how old your children are losing them still causes pain. I am so thankful for my savior and his attonement, for without it I would truly be lost. How grateful I am for eternal families, because it is a blessing I truly live my life to be able to share with my husbands. Thank you for your words and thoughts, I needed them today!

I have had three of those and yes I am crying. And it has been almost seven years since the first but still feels like yesterday when the doctor told me the bad news. I never thought that would happen too our family but your right Heavenly father has a plan and I will one day know what that plan is and In the mean time have to just realize it wasn't too hurt us but too strengthen us.

But as you are aware we do have 5 so we were still blessed in the mean time. LOL

My Girl! I too still feel the pain of the loss of our first child, yes, 16 years ago now. What precious words and beautiful sentiment. I agree. Christ is the true Healer and what helps us get through anything. Hope you get feeling better physically from this pregnancy soon! The opportunity for this new life is so exciting! Love you always!
