More than ever, I am realizing that this unexpected and painful loss is all part of God's larger plan. He is preparing a special child for my husband and me. The hard part is waiting to receive him or her and continuing to keep the faith that all is going as planned. I've never been an intensely spiritual person, but I've always trusted that everything happens for a reason and that God never gives us more than we can handle.
God's timing will be perfect. I will continue to invite love and joy in my life while I wait. But I also need to allow myself time to grieve. As one friend said, "being sad and crying on each other's shoulder is not a lack of faith."
My husband and I look forward to the day when we are meant to be blessed with children. In the meantime, we are looking forward to the birth and arrival of our new male Pug puppy, Oliver.
I leave you with the words of another friend that offer hope and solace:
"I know this is the rough part of the journey and that everything will be okay in the end….it is just getting there...I am working on coming to a place of trust that not everything will happen exactly as I want, but that I will survive and be a stronger person."
I also keep repeating this sentence:
"The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."
