Did you know that child loss is often called the ULTIMATE TRAGEDY? It is.
I honestly do not think anything can be more devastating. There are other issues hard to resolve besides just the usual.
We feel injustice. It should have never happened.
We feel pain and numbness, this may last a long time. There is no timetable on grief.
This requires some of the hardest work we will ever have to do.
After all the most intense relationship you will have in your life is with your child. We provide and do for them. This is even after they are grown. When your child dies, you are robbed of your responsibility. We feel like failures. Why? We did not do the one thing we needed to, protect our child.
Do not forget we will mourn our children no matter the age. We are not supposed to outlive them. Regardless of their age, we lose a part of ourselves.
Faith is a source of comfort. Sometimes, we do feel betrayed by God. We get confused. We question way to many things. You basically lose your faith in life.
Surviving this takes a dedication to life. You gave birth to the promise of a future and now you have to figure out what the new commitment to living will be. Yes, we will survive but we will be changed.
Remember you will feel shock, denial, you will replay the loss, you will yearn for them, you will be confused, you will feel guilty, powerlessness, anger, loss of hope but, you will survive.
Keep your faith and know that God is for us even when we feel he has let us down. We will know the why when we meet him face to face and we may not even care when we see our babies.
Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer."
