Loss
When I was pregnant, I joined a message board with other women who were pregnant and due in October 2009. We all grew pretty close, and now that our babies are here we continue to talk. We share our lives with each other - some of the women on that board are the closest friends I have. One of the ladies on my board had a 2 year old daughter fighting leukemia. I read the blog that she kept, staying up to date on her daughter's progress. Sometimes it seemed like she was winning, other times it seemed like leukemia was winning. I found out that her daughter passed away Saturday evening and is now in heaven. My heart is so heavy and aches for them. To lose a baby at 2 years old, I can't even fathom the pain they are going through and the emptiness they are feeling in their family. Life is short, two years seems so unfair, but I find peace in knowing that the sweet little girl is no longer in pain, and is up in heaven with her Father up above.

How unbelievably awful. :( I'm a part of a message board too, on the Bump. I know what you mean about how hard it is to watch other women - even some who are very far away - deal with such painful losses. God is so good, though, and He can heal broken hearts.
ReplyDeleteI really was surprised how much this affected me. I never imagined that reading about each others lives would bring us all so close together! I think you wrote a very nice post on such a sad event.
ReplyDeleteKatie - I'm on SheKnows - a lifesaver at times! He will definitely use her life story in a powerful way, I am sure of it.
ReplyDeleteAndrea - I can't believe how impacted I was either, it just made me realize how close we are with each other and how much you ladies have become a huge part of my life.
I cried for days after Talia's passing....it surprised me and my husband at how I was affected. I feel the same way about you girls, love ya all!!!
