My mom had a few miscarriages between my brother and me (thus the 12 years difference between us!) and each time she also went through these feelings (not that I want to put down your emotions at ALL). I'm so sorry to hear of your past few weeks... I've been kind of a silent follower in all of it, because I DON'T know what it feels like... and I DON'T have answers...and it seems like I DON'T know the words to express the grief, sorrow, love, etc. that I feel to help you feel better! Know that you are loved and that your little Sprout went to be with his or her Creator -- and I'm sure "Sprout" is sprouting wings and planting seeds that grow beautiful and wonderful things beyond our understanding or imaginations that will be waiting for you and Jake and Spencer someday. When I heard your news, the first thing that popped into my head was scripture.... John 14:2 to be exact. At first, I coudn't make a connection with why that verse was in my head and your loss. Then it hit me: I truly feel that Sprout has gone to help to prepare a place for you. I love you lots and hope that each day is....not easier (because I don't know if it's ever "easy")... but more peace-filled.Melissa G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07706533820255282569noreply@blogger.com
