"Do you just have one child?"
Caught off guard, I hesitated a moment, then answered, "Yes."
But my heart screamed, "No!"
Such a simple question asked by the mom at the park, as she saw my daughter, Alice, playing. A year ago, it would have been a simple answer: yes, I have one child. Today, the answer is not so easy. Yes, I have one living child. But I have given birth to two children. My son, Jonah, is in heaven, and I started grieving his loss even before he was born.
Join me on my journey of celebrating Jonah's life and walking through the valley of grief.
Danae,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your journey with us. Your words honor Jonah's life and bring glory to God. You are very definitely living and loving bravely.
Thank you for sharing your story, I too have lost three of my babies in 2013. I was pregnant with triplets and lost them at 6 months, where they were all born and died in my arms. I held my girls for hours before they took their last breaths. I understand the pain all too much and I am so sorry you have had to endure such a pain. Thank you for being Brave. I heard of your story at Mops and my heart went out to you inmediately. Prayers xoxox
