This page is saved under my favorites and I come back yearly to remind myself that God is the only one who can fill the void that I feel. Thank you for sharing your story and showing us how to love God through the storms of life.

I told her that today, that I have thought of her all Mother's Day weekend for the last 14 years. She told me that the Lord has redeemed May 11, 1997 for her. That's the day we got the call from the transplant center. I had prayed for a miracle in which someone wouldn't have to die, but the Lord gave me a different answer. She said that it's a good day for her now--that Jesus and time have healed so much. Every Mother’s Day weekend I think of the mom who donated her 12-year-old daughter’s kidney to my husband.

I just suffered my first loss this past Saturday and it is harder than I imagined it would be. Your words spoke directly to my soul and brought everything back into focus. I'm determined to make this year's Mother's Day, "God's Day" and give Him the glory He deserves for giving me life and salvation. I have so much to be thankful for even though I want to have children and as yet have none. Thank you, again. God bless you for this post.

You probably feel like half a woman. I’m in the second category. For me it’s because one of my children is missing. I have two precious boys, but my only daughter is missing. My little girl is missing. I suppose “missing” implies that I don’t know where she is. But I do know where she is, I just can’t get to her." While my story of loss is a quite different, these words ring perfectly clear...even now, I know where she is, I just can't get to her. And I need this, too: "In the deepest part of me, I need Christ. I need his presence in my pain with me. I need his strength to carry my burden. I need his forgiveness for my constant distrust of his plan for my life. I need his peace to rest in, all the days I will live on earth, separated from my daughter." I need Christ more than I need an end to the separation from my only daughter, my beautiful Gloria Anne, and continual grace to live with loss I would never wish on another. “You probably feel like you’re not a mother.

I was only fifteen when she passed away. And God led me here through a sudden urge to check 22 words which led to a link which led to a link, and He has granted me comfort here. Mothers' Day is torture for we who have lost our mothers too, and I cherish the comfort God has given us in the fellowship of suffering alongside mothers who have lost their children. I'll be reflecting on the encouragement I've received from these posts as October 5th draws closer. And I'll be remembering you in my prayers when Mothers' Day comes around too. I praise God for you!
