Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. I had miscarriages, a preemie, and stillbirths. Every one of them devasted me. From the pregnancy that ended as soon as it began to the son I lost during childbirth. It didn’t matter to me how far along gestationally I was, the emotional pain was of equal intensity. I did get to know my babies better the longer they hung out in my womb, but I also wonder as much about the earlier losses that the Lord decided was best for them to come home earlier.
If you have also gone through the heartache of losing a baby, I am so very sorry and I want you to know that the pain of your heartwrenching grief is valid. Go light a candle in remembrance of your babies and bask in the knowledge that God will reunite you when he feels the time is right. Until then, I strongly believe that you can visit them in your dreams. I do.
