Oh how I dreaded to write this. Because most days, it’s easier to just push the thoughts back. Away from the surface. Shhhhhh…..I don’t have time to hurt right now, I say to myself.
Things to do. Children to tend to. Errands to run. A baby is coming.
A baby is coming.
And she won’t be here to see him. He will never know her.

I am so so sorry for the grief you are experiencing
As I was reading, I began to feel as if you were sitting right beside me just crying out. So here is my hug…XXXXXXX 
I face a ‘brand new’ loss of a parent every day, as I deal with the ‘loss’ of my father to his choice of,well, just opting out. It’s not the same, by ANY means. However, I look at the obituaries daily because I don’t want to miss the actual burial, if ever there is one. He lives 30 minutes away and will not have a thing to do with us so, mentally, I have, in fact, lost him. So grateful I’ve been adopted by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, as He is ALL SUFFICIENT
Praying for your journey through the valley as He prepares you for the mountaintop!
I have not lost my parents but lost my grnadmother who was dear an dnear to me. He did not get to see my 6th son born. He was only 5mths old when we lost her and did not make it to say goodbye. With my 4th and 5th boys we were in Florida and we visit her almost every weekend at the nursing home . We were a riot with boys in tow and the light of everybody weekend. Losing a love one is never easy but remember the good times if it is possible. I always laugh and say she dancing with Papa and having tea with our various love ones. We lost my cousin last year at age 30 to a bad car accident we lost an angel T lost his and R lost his mother . It still hurts some days to know she is gone. God makes it all possible.
As I read this I can only imagine the pain of that kind of loss. I am VERY fortunate to have both my parents still living as well as both my hubbies parents are still alive. My Dad is 87 and my Mom just turned 83 so I know time is even more precious.
Thank you for the reminder to make the time to make memories with them.
This post is so sweet and so familiar on so many levels. I lost my Mom to cancer almost 5 years ago this May. I was 24 and a newly wed. It was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever been through. My husband and I now have a two and half year old son who looks so much like my Mom, it’s crazy. I struggle with the the fact that she was never able to celebrate my pregnancy with me or hold my son. But, like you, I am at peace knowing that she is with our Lord and Savior! God Bless you and your sweet family!
