Epidemic

I didn't know what to call this and that is what it feels like. I have learned of the 4th woman this summer losing her baby. It is heartbreaking and I wish I could take the grief away from these women. I would put a link to their blogs, however, it is still fresh for two of them and I don't know if they would appreciate that right now.

A blog I came across recently is The Pipers and it covers how to help a grieving friend. She had a stillborn baby and conveys how complicated grief can be. You want to talk about it and you don't want anyone to ask you about it.

I will go about my nonsensical blogging and posting of happy Baby pictures because that is what I do. However, I wanted to at least publicly acknowledge these ladies and ask you to say a special prayer for them. I have been thinking about them non-stop and remembering my own little baby that was lost.

Nothing said to me changed anything or made me feel better when I went through this. One thing that made me stop in my tracks and think was when a friend told me to remember that God knew what it felt like to lose a child. He feels that pain. He doesn't just sympathize with you. That is so true and He is probably the only one that can get you through such a difficult time.

Also, I know Mck Mama won't mind me posting her blog site. She is in the hospital in a desperate situation trying to save her baby right now. She asks that you get on your knees now and please pray for her unborn baby. I have been praying all day and it isn't over.

Jeremiah 1:5: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I
appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
