I posted this prayer button a while back. A young lady I knew learnt that the child she was carrying had Edwards Syndrome. She was too far into term when discovered, they were confused and sad but continued on, prepared for his coming. What could the rest of us do but pray for the best, the infant, their strength and God's will.
Today, I attended the wake of this child, he was named Jeremiah, 8 months in his mother's care, a tiny life that never saw the light of day but will see the light of heaven. I never knew this little life and yet I feel extreme sorrow for his struggle to survive with this disease.
As his father says very calmly, for the living, it is a test of faith.
A temporary soul.
Very Sad BM.. I can feel the pain. Sending prayers to the family and hugs to you

My thought are with you at this very sad time.
ReplyDeleteSomeone I once knew also lost a baby this week, but it was very early in the pregnancy, but she was so looking forward to this new life.
A lot of things we will never understand this side of heaven. Thank you for sharing your pain and thoughts dear one. Blessings.

So sad! We knew someone who lost a baby to Edwards last year. My heart just aches. Sending up a little prayer from my corner of this earth.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag. I just posted it.
I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child. I have a friend who, several years ago, lost both her husband and oldest son in a car accident. I remember rushing home to my own children after the funeral and hugging them closely. Life is so precious and we never know how much time any of us will be given.
ReplyDeleteI always figured I knew the reason why he took my son, then again I may be wrong. I may be broken but my faith have always sustained me. Blessings
