Late Term and Child Loss

Faith Friday

Hey ladies!

If you could ask God one question about your child, what would it be?

Is your faith stronger or weaker than it was before your loss?

Any new revelations or struggles this week?

Re: Faith Friday


  • If you could ask God one question about your child, what would it be?

    If she is happy, at peace and with her siblings and other family members. I guess that's more than one question but I mostly want to know if she is happy in Heaven.

    Is your faith stronger or weaker than it was before your loss?

    It's a constant work in progress and it has been tested more than ever since loss.

    Any new revelations or struggles this week?

    Just trying to get through the holidays. Getting happiness forced down is hard and seeing all the families out together is hard too. I still struggle with how to be a loss mom and a normal functioning human being if that makes any sense? It's a really hard balance.

  • I think I would ask God to tell me what Mary does all day... What games does she play, who does she play with, what songs does she sing, when does she visit us?

    I feel much weaker in my faith than I did before our loss. I'm getting back there, but not there yet.

    I am really struggling to feel happy/ thankful about the holidays.

    If you could ask God one question about your child, what would it be? Will she know me when we meet in Heaven?

    Is your faith stronger or weaker than it was before your loss? I suppose I would say mostly stronger. But I still have to work through things.

  • I suppose I would ask God what they do in the 'afterlife'. I have read a few books that basically say all souls were meant to learn.

    I feel like my faith is a work in progress, but I know that God understands and it will take time to get back to my 'good' place.

    No new revelations, but I have struggled all week at work. Customers have been asking (I suppose trying to be polite) me whether or not I have children, and sometimes my grief gets to me and I will spontaneously start crying in my office.

    What color are his eyes? It kills me that I won't ever know his eye color. I know that's kind of random, but it's one of those things that bugs me.

    Is your faith stronger or weaker than it was before your loss?
    I feel like its stronger, but there are definitely ups and downs. I feel such peace and comfort regarding our loss, and I know that could only come from God.

    Any new revelations or struggles this week?
    Struggling with feeling depressed more than anything. I'm just over this. I don't want to be sad anymore. I don't want to have to accept that this is my life. That and envy. All the pregnancies and new babies on Facebook and at church and everywhere. And it's not that I want to be pregnant with another baby, but that I want my little boy.

  • ***ipad post**** If you could ask God one question about your child, what would it be? I would ask Him if my EJ and his sister Olivia are getting along and what do their laughs and smiles look and sound like. Is your faith stronger or weaker than it was before your loss? Its getting stronger each day I believe. I have my days where I am very angry with him. Any new revelations or struggles this week? Just allowing myself to know it's okay to be upset and that if I need to cry I can do that. I don't need to keep a facade up for others.

    I agree would love to know what color my babies eyes are and what they look like when they smile.
