Interruption

/ risingaboveitall

I haven’t had a chance to post the remaining Parenting Lessons, but I will continue later on.

Last week we had an unexpected interruption in our lives. For the third time, we were left with a deep sadness and shock as once again we lost a child. It is hard to write this now, but I feel that at some point it will be help me to express the grief and pain that I feel.

This time was much harder as I was 11 weeks along and we had already begun to make so many plans. We would need a new car. We need to change up the office to be an office/guest room. We need to buy another crib. We need to plan for when I am off work.

Then, in a moment all those plans change. You are left wondering: Why did this happen? What did I do wrong? Why can mothers who do drugs carry a child full-term? Why are there so many women that have abortions and yet there are so many others that have miscarriages or can’t get pregnant at all?

We had already shared our news with people which makes it so hard when we have to say that we lost another baby. Our family and friends grieve with us and try to understand the loss.

We held Colt even closer this past weekend and Joe again reminded me that we indeed have a miracle baby and we cannot forget it.

  3. My dearest Kris, words cannot express my emotions for you at this moment!! I know you have many questions but you must take comfort in knowing that God knows best!! There is a reason that this has happened. You will see your child in Heaven probably hanging out with his Grandparents & his aunt Nan. Cousin Dinah is probably trying to teach him all sorts of ornery stuff!! I have often asked the same questions you do because Jimmy & I are without children also, but rest assured God has an ultimate plan for all of us!! I love you guys with all of my heart!! Thinking of you often!!

  7. Kris, I have only just met you but my heart breaks for you. I am so sorry. We lost a baby a few years ago and know the ache and sadness. I pray that the Lord will give you strength and comfort in the middle of this time.I just emailed you, but hadn’t stopped over to officially visit your blog. I’m looking forward to getting to know you.
