The verses you mentioned are a comfort in my case as well.

But you are so right, the scriptures bring healing, hope, and strength.

This is what I wrote in my diary a few weeks after the loss of our first little one. 'On Monday night at bedtime, my wife said that she was sick, and tapped her chest, "Sick in here." That she was overcome with doubts and fears, that God wouldn't do anything more for us, that He wouldn't do anything more about giving us children." <BR/><BR/>So wonderful to see how God gave you Isaiah 41:13 to cling to during your next pregnancy, and how He came through for you. It was Joshua 1:5-9 that the Lord used to restore the faith of both my wife and myself. <BR/><BR/>And thanks so much for linking to my blog, that has blessed me so much. I grieved for eleven years after we lost our first one, and the grieving actually got worse, not better, after we had Hannah and Timmy. Especially after Timmy, as when he was born and found to be an almost exact clone of his older sister Hannah, I kept thinking what it would be like for our first one to be with us too. To have three living children, all so similar, would have been such a joy. But praise the Lord for healing me of that wound so that I grieve no more. (The heart strings still get pulled, though.)Peter Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896115247438514660noreply@blogger.com
