Last Friday, I received terrible news. The type of news which alters your perception for a while.... I did not post a link-up.
I apologize.
Where is your faith today? If you have faith in God, how has your faith changed?
If you don't, how has your faith changed in regards to your family, friends, and others in your circle?
No matter what your faith, the faith you knew before your loss(es) has been irrevocably changed since. What can you share regarding those feelings?
I hope to read about your faith journey, and tackle difficult questions about my own. Thank you for sharing in my healing. I hope to be a part of yours.
As always:
Thank you so much.
Bad news often shakes us out of our routines. I have noted that four years after losing my sweet Beatrix I still have a difficult time recovering from unexpected events.

Four rules:
1)
This is a child-loss/infertility hop. You must be a bereaved/healing parent to
participate. This includes children lost from conception forward- early
term miscarriage, teenagers, adults. If you have lost a child, you can
link up. You may also link-up if you are struggling/ have struggled with infertility.
2) This is a carry to term blog. I would prefer no posts promoting termination of pregnancy after a poor pregnancy diagnosis.
3) Please link back to this post, somewhere in your own. That way other moms can find it, and participate.
4) Please leave a comment on as many other entries as possible.
4) Please leave a comment on as many other entries as possible.
I know this will be a slow starter, so I may repeat the first few subjects in the future when more people are participating. I will also extend link-ups past their dates if there are no links submitted.
If
you are a bereaved mother who writes, and you know of other writing
mothers who may be interested in participating, please share with them. If you are a mother at heart, dealing with infertility, or you know of other moms going through the same circumstances, please invite them to join.
The more entries there are, the more healing will take place.
