Than...I'm just now catching up on this sweetie! Thanks for sharing so honestly as you grieve and struggle for joy and continued strength in the Lord! You're a real encouragement to all of us! I don't know if I ever told you,but Rose was a twin. I lost her little brother or sister at about 7 or 8 weeks. It's so hard to process and so like you said, we all grieve in different ways. But for sure, God is always the same - always faithful- always there. Love and hugs sweet friend!jeileenbaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281257643107238879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335886830124216822.post-66154722733486273862012-11-07T07:50:51.572-07:002012-11-07T07:50:51.572-07:00It has neen a huge encouragement to me to see your...It has neen a huge encouragement to me to see your constant faith in God thru this whole experience. God has truly been gracious to our family even amidst trials. I continue to fall in love with you more everyday. You will always have me here with you.

I'm so s...Oh Jess, my heart is broken with you. I'm so sorry you had to experience the loss of a child at any age, and you are right, you lost a CHILD. Anyone who says differently or tries to minimize it truly just doesn't understand. I pray their words fly like dust in the wind and don't take root in your soul, that you don't even hear them. <br /><br />Grief is such a strange process because it is so different for each of us. I will say, don't expect it to end, exactly, but just fade away into your new normal. I don't know how else to explain it. But I understand what you're feeling and I pray that you experience more of God's comfort and peace day by day, until that love from Him soothes the grief enough for you to be able to step back into activities you used to do. Don't rush it. Its like maturity - if you rush and push it, you haven't really matured. If you rush grief and push it, you haven't really fully grieved and you'll have to do it later. <br /><br />I'm so sorry for your loss and you and your family will be in my prayers. <br /><br />GinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335886830124216822.post-34612453561952682472012-11-05T13:57:21.806-07:002012-11-05T13:57:21.806-07:00Wow!!

I feel like I have a better understanding of you, who you are, what you learning, how your growing, how your working thru things, and most importantly, how to love you better! Thank you for that. Thank you for your thots. Some people have really given good advice. I love you so much!! Can't wait to see you! You are always in my thots and prayers. I wake up every morning and wonder how your night was and how your doing! I miss my best friend and hurt for you! God is doing an amazing work in your life, and I see His grace at work :-).
