It is a difficult day for many women, husbands, and families who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss. Just because today is a designated day to remember pregnancy and infant loss doesn't mean that we don't remember it daily. Still almost 5 years later it doesn't get any easier especially when I year ago I experienced another loss through an Ectopic pregnancy.
I read a great book by Stacey Thacker, "Being Ok with Where you Are."
It is a great book and really has helped me deal with the struggles of grief and letting go, and any other life event that I struggle with. When I struggle the most, there is a great prayer I try to get through (I am really trying to memorize it but my memory stinks lately!)
A prayer to start the day with, “Lord, I invite You to do
the work You want to do in my life today.
I need your grace more than I know or can express right now. This broken place is tender to the touch and
everything within me wants to struggle within your will. But today, I offer my plan for your
purpose. I surrender my hopes, dreams,
and discouragements into your hands. With my tiny fragment of faith, I say to you,
‘Lord I trust You,’ not only with this one thing, but with my entire life.”
I also read a great post about 15 lessons learned from miscarriage...
Please refer to my post from last year about some things that you can do as a friend or family member who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss.
