I guess, it just brings my heart joy... and for me 19 mos later still longing for a baby from my womb, I see lots of progress, but to be honest, I do think about getting pregnant still a lot. I am so thankful for Hope and pray that she will get to stay, but there is still that longing for a newborn and all that would entail... she was almost 10 mos and already starting to walk, more like a toddler really... A HUGE blessing, but I still have longing... <br /><br />Rachel, it is a journey though huh??? I love how it makes us long for heaven in a way I never did before. Praying for you friend!<br />SaraSarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679265370655421932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027508076713286382.post-79331649148526287332010-06-22T07:59:19.880-05:002010-06-22T07:59:19.880-05:00Rachel- I'm so glad you shared about this, I f...Rachel- I'm so glad you shared about this, I feel the same way- not so consumed by the loss anymore. After I lost Andrew, when I was pregnant, and those first few months I would say I was consumed by it 75% of the time. Now I would say even though I think about him everyday I am joyful and thankful 90% of the time embracing the gift Jack is. I prayed for a long time that we would remember Andrew with joy and honor and not with pain. So glad that God is changing our hearts to enjoy today and our little ones!:)Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052196421914129444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027508076713286382.post-42098572591850953582010-06-21T16:42:27.983-05:002010-06-21T16:42:27.983-05:00Thanks for sharing from your heart. I distinctly ...Thanks for sharing from your heart. I distinctly remember encounters I've had with other mothers who have had losses, some many, many years ago. The pain is still there. There was an 80 year-old man who shared with tears about loosing his son sixty years ago. While it can be overwhelming to think about grieving the rest of my life, I also think there's something beautiful about it. We never forget. I remember saying to one mom, whose loss was sixteen years prior, within weeks of Henry's death, "It will never go away, will it?" So, our grief changes and resurfaces with the ebb and flow of life, but I would rather it remained with me forever, painful as it is, than forget.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537616411264726552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027508076713286382.post-80759212520064042642010-06-21T09:50:03.594-05:002010-06-21T09:50:03.594-05:00I have been wondering how having your newest littl...I have been wondering how having your newest little bundle would affect the grieving process/experience. On the one hand there is so much joy in a baby that one could hardly help but being joyful. On the other hand... one could hardly "forget" the little lost one♥ I am so pleased that you are doing well.... I think of you often even though I don't comment so much;-)<br />warmest,<br />DianeDiane Shifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449110271720365988noreply@blogger.com
