I am probably half across the globe from you and not even sure how I found your story but I could not stop reading or close the page without telling you I was there, on your 17th June, one year and a half ago, 5th March 2013 for me…No comfort words are really enough right now, myself, I have not made my peace with God for this so far so I cannot say anything about masterplans and strength in faith yet but I will say this: it is 11th July 2014, one year and a half later and i am writing to you while my 39 week bump is doing the macarena from the inside, impatient to meet us on Wednesday. So, find strength in your husband, your friends wherever you can find it, allow yourself to be angry, sad and pissed off (even at me and any other pregnant lady you see on the street), and when you are ready pick yourself up, and know that one year from now, maybe a little later, maybe a little earlier you will get to write the “39 weeks and happy” article, then the “just gave birth” article and finally post the first “my newborn baby” photo. It may feel like the longest pregnancy in history at times, and you will realise every day how lucky you are to have your husband love you enough not to strangle you out of exasperation, but it will happen and you will be ok again. Not sure it helps with anything and feel free to ignore me but for what it is worth I am thinking of you and even if I cannot say i will keep you in my prayers, I promise to keep my fingers crossed and have you in my thoughts. Warm hugs and lots of love.

A very beautiful and heart-wrenching story MJ. Only God can offer the kind of peace and comfort you both need at this time. I’m sorry for the grief you’re experiencing but I am so looking forward to the day you will once again see your little son in Heaven. It will be THE best reunion, I just know it!! Keep on smiling, knowing that he sees it and smiles back – just like the pokes! :) xx

Absolutely beautiful words that brought me to tears. May God give you and your husband strength to face each day that comes. I know that these may just seem like mere words that people say to try and comfort those that are grieving but I truly pray for God to be with you and your husband always.
