Pastor, words can’t express what you and Sarah are feeling. No one will fully comprehend a loss of this magnitude unless they have been through that dark time. And brother, I’ve been there, and I can tell you it hurts for a long time; but there is restoration and healing awaiting. Melissa and I lost our first one over a year ago and we still feel the sadness of that loss at times. I tear up when I think about it. The baby had a heartbeat and was growing as expected, but something happened and we lost him. The doctors could not explain it, and no one could say anything to lift the burden from us. Melissa cried litterally for days. I forced myself to be strong on my own so I could explain what happend to people who asked. (Melissa wouldn’t talk about it for a long time). It took me almost a month before I allowed myself to grieve. I thought that if I didn’t grieve I would grow stronger. But I didn’t. I was weaker by the minute. One night I just got out of bed and prayed on my living room couch. I gave God everything I was feeling. I gave him my fear, my sorrow, my anger, my hurt… everything. We’ll never know why we had to experience such a loss. But we trusted God for healing and restoration. When we’re reminded of the pain, God reminds me of His love for us. He reminds us of how He’s drawing us closer to Him. He shelters us in his great big arms and gives us strength. But Pastor, I can’t say anything that will take away your hurt. It’s a process that requires God’s touch, partly through friends that care. I can only offer ecouragement and let you know that there is restoration. There is a Balm in Jesus that heals all hurts… scars may be inevitable, but the Balm will heal your broken heart. Melissa and I are supporting you and your family with our prayers.
