It's been two months... Two months ago, I woke up to my new reality; that even though my son's body was still in mine -…

God not only sympathizes with us when we suffer, but he also empathizes with us as well. His son died on the cross for our sins. So his love for us has an incredible way of turning things around on our behalf. Where there is grief and loss, God brings soothing and relief. Where there is pain and suffering, he brings peace and hope. Only he can turn our mourning into dancing and clothe us with gladness instead of despair during our darkest hours.

?Psalm 30:11 “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.

? Psalm 103:3 “who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy.

The book of Psalms has always been inspiring to me, because David wrote it as a man who had endured suffering as well as great successes in his life. He knew what it was like to suffer the loss of a child, and in this chapter he reminds us that it is God who redeems our life from the pit. Whether it is a pit of emotional despair over a loss or an illness, it is the Lord that will pick us up and take us out of the depths of sadness. He will also crown us with his steadfast love and mercy—both symbols of hope and reassurance. It might seem impossible for the extreme sadness and grief we feel at the loss of a child to ever diminish or decrease; however, the Lord is our hope and our salvation, and he can turn our mourning into comfort. God wants to encourage us and relieve our suffering if we will just go to him at all times. And his word is powerful enough to bring healing and solace even during our darkest hours.

You are a woman of strength and love, God bless you and your family ?

I've been following your story and I'm so glad to see this post ?

Praying ?. I wish you nothing but the best. ?

I admire your strength! Your heart is beautiful and Enoch lives in so many hearts through you! ?

I think of your sweet Enoch often. Knowing God holds him and all of our loved ones in the palm of his hand gives me peace ? Your faith is truly inspiring.

I never got to hold you,

Or kiss your little head

Or watch you sleeping soundly,

All snuggled in your bed.

I can't count your tiny fingers,

Or you even smaller toes

I won't see your smile,

Or your cute little button nose.

You're gone too soon - we don't even know

If you're a girl or boy,

Our hearts are filled with sorrow

When they should be full of joy.

I know you are in heaven,

Where there is no pain or tears.

You'll never get hurt or sick,

In heaven there are no fears

And though I'm sad you're not here right now

For us to hold today

I know we'll hold you in our arms

When we're in heaven with you someday

Thank you, ladies! You have all been so wonderful. Every word of encouragement you've offered over these last two months has meant so much. Please know how much you all have helped me.

Beautiful.Strong.Brave. You are an incredible mother..With a heart of endless depth. I think of your pain and know that there is just so much purpose within you.. This is another reflection of that. So touching. You aren't alone. Lots of ? to you!

You express yourself beautfiully. I can feel the pain in your words but also your strength. Hugs to you, mama!

I've never heard someone so eloquent and strong. You're able to see the light in the worst of situations. I admire that. I think about you often and pray for you. Sometimes life can seem so painfully unfair. Someone as genuine and sweet as you should never have experienced such pain as this.

Goodness I could not imagine going through something like this. You are a strong woman. God gives his toughest battles to his strongest warriors! I hope you don't mind if I pray for you. Remember to keep the faith in good and bad times.

❤️

I am simply in awe at your grace and courage. You are an incredible woman.

I am not as eloquent as all these lovely girls, but please know you're in my prayers.

Thank you all so much!

@Marissa - you absolutely can! I need prayers so badly, thank you so much. ?

So beautifully written. ❤️

Thanks, K! ?

This just made me tear up.

I'm so sorry?

Prayers for you and your family.
