Guest guest Posted May 12, 2001 Report Share Posted May 12, 2001 Ursela, Beth, Dale, , Belinda Rose, Ray, , Diane, le, , , Jan, Tina, Autumn, , and Kathy-- Thank you all so very much for your kind words of encouragement, and your prayers. God has been pouring out His comfort, and i've never felt a burden carried by the body of Christ like this before. It has not been an easy week...the grief is overwhelming, and that leaves me with less patience for the boys not always lovely expressions of their grief. Also, the nurse told me (4 times, took me that long to really hear her) to treat this as a term birth as far as my own recovery...it has not felt like much, but the more i move , the more i bleed...blah, i'm really dizzy today, hope i'm not terribly anemic again... I am striving to live out Isaiah 50:10, 11, accepting this darkness from the Lord, not making my own light... .it is not fun to walk in grief, but i am determined to get thru this the right way, so that it will not haunt us if the Lord allows us another pregnancy. has broncitis, spiked a 103 fever last night...Wesley and (and I) seem to be fine, thankfully. I " m sorry so many of you continue to struggle so with such ongoing and serious illness with your dear children. May God grant you peace and rest!! Thank you all, again. Your words and prayers have been a significant comfort. Maurita ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2001 Report Share Posted May 12, 2001 Maurita - I do not know how to adequately provide any comfort in this time of need but I do want to relate a similar story that has just happened to our family over the weekend. Today we were supposed to get together as an extended family and have a steak dinner. Big pit grill, lots of kids, over 30 relatives. It had to be canceled this morning because a cousin who was to be there has lost her baby, 3 weeks from delivery. The baby just seemed to die in utero. The baby was delivered this morning by induction, 7 lbs 2 oz and they can not find a thing wrong with it. They have no clue what caused it to die or why it happened. Wednesday the OB heard a heartbeat, Thursday she felt some leaking and by Thursday afternoon the baby showed no life on ultrasound. They can't find a single thing that would have caused this and we're all left asking ourselves, why, why now , why her, why for seemingly no reason. Sometimes there just aren't any reasons, it's just because. I don't know if this will help but there is another family out there this weekend questioning life, questioning God and dealing with something very similar. I have no clue what either of you are feeling at this moment but I pray to God everynight for comfort and counseling to you both.
