Thank you for your transperency. I have two babies in Heaven and identify with all the fears you mentioned. I was very fearful throughout all my pregnancies. I have had 6 pregnancies which have blessed me (and my husband) with 4 beautiful children. I think I cherrish them more because of my two looses. Thank you for sharing your heart!!

Thank you so much for this post. I have been struggling with great fear and anxiety in the last weeks. I am 29 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl but lost a baby girl in the second trimester about 10 months ago. I struggle with fear that she is healthy today but my body might “cause” her to die tomorrow.
Your post ministered to me. Fear is not of God.
Thanks you.

Wow….have you summed up my thoughts well. I had a little girl that was stillborn two years ago. I just discovered that I am pregnant again….and I’m not sure I want to tell anyone. I will have to work on this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

“Yet a friend reminded me the other day, that there is a reality that a Mama who has lost a child owns, that others don’t necessarily.”

yes.
i assent to this, wholeheartedly, though i don’t posses that reality myself.

thanks for your response, which blessed me, Tracy!

hallelujah.

i’m thankful–as one who is younger, married, but has never ventured into child-pursuit–to be shaped, sharpened, and made wiser through your life-sharing.

thank you, molly!

Your writing is beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss. I so appreciate some of the resources you have mentioned here. Another is: “Helping Those Who Hurt: A Handbook for Caring and Crisis.” I hope that it will be of help to you as well.

God Bless You as He Walks Beside You,

Hello Melodie,

I do not know you personally but I also had one 1st trimester loss last year and it was devastating. Even an embryo to a mother is a real and living child. I cannot imagine the pain you had with 6. That your heart is not hardened is a testiment to God’s grace and love with you. I pray that He will heal you, spirit, soul and body, and grant you your heart’s desire. Do not give up hoping and trusting, dear sister.
