One in four women have experienced the loss of a baby. One in four. That is a lot and it breaks my heart. If you haven’t experienced your own loss chances are good you know someone who has. Each baby lost is seen and known by a good God who loves them and calls each one by name. He feels our suffering with us and longs to comfort us and heal our hearts.
My beautiful blogger friend, September, is sharing about my book for moms who have lost a child, Empty Arms, Hope-Filled Heart, on her blog today. September has experienced her own losses and has a beautiful story of her own that is filled with hope. Won’t you join us over on her site today? While you’re there read her story and let it encourage you. I know reading her heart will bless you!
I’ll see you over at September’s!
Thank you so much for the comment you left in response to my comment on One September Day..It meant so much, and I cherish the memory of holding Grace, seeing her tiny lips moving and seeing her teeny chest raise and drop with each breath she took. Although our story was traumatic, everyone has a story, and many of them do not incorporate life with death in one so small, unfortunately many feel the pain of loss only, and I was blessed with precious moments with her (I think God knew I REALLY needed it..) Anyhow, I just wanted to say thank you for your sweet encouragement :)

You are so welcome Elizabeth! You know, I had a friend who told me after my loss “congratulations on the life of your son.” It touched me deeply because she was acknowledging his life. We all need that don’t we? We need to know that the life of our child was important and special and we need to grieve a loss well.
