I can feel it.
Every day a little more.
It will never be the *SAME* because there is someone *MISSING*, but I know the Lord will bring a *NEW NORMAL*
I made the bed because I wanted it to look nice. I vacumned the floor because I wanted to. These are little pieces of normalcy that are a welcome sight to me.
Even my heartache has bits of joy intermixed. Packing up the milk today to send to the adopted baby was oh so hard. I cried quietly as I put it all into bags and sent it on its way, but there was joy in knowing another child would benefit from what was meant for my little one.
I continue to read my Psalms every night and every morning. I continue to put one foot in front of the other. I continue to trust in the Lord. And the Lord blesses over and over again.

Amy,You are doing all you can do. Keep taking one day at a time. When we lost our baby, the verse in Psalm 71:20 “You who have shown me many troubles and distresses will once again restore my life to me and will bring me up out of the depths of the earth.” You are in the depths right now. It will get easier. We never get over these things, but we can get through them. Our children who have gone on before us have such a different perspective than we do. They long for nothing from this world. They are waiting for us to join them. They are with God. How wonderful. That is what gives me hope each day.Love,Cindy
Rachel says
Thank you for your words today. I am continuing to pray for you, my dear friend. “Lord, because You are my help, I sing in the shadow of Your wings. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.” Psalm 63:7-8Blessings,Rachel

Annmarie says
Dear precious grieving mother, You are on my heart and in my prayers. I have asked my dear friend Dawn who has a child who has gone to be with the Lord as well to remember you in prayer. She knows that pain and the trust walk that is required through each moment. I will pray that you and your family will be comforted with the comfort that only the Lord and His precious word can give. I also pray for His grace to sustain you all in your grieving and for the grace to keep your eyes on Him and His truth. May you rest in His care for you.“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.” Isaiah 26:3 In Christ’s love my sister in the Lord and fellow mother,Annmarie
