It was my placenta that failed, my body that got too sick to keep carrying her, and many other at faults I've come up with. I think we just need so badly to have an explanation for the unexplainable, that we will create one. Its strange how it makes us feel better, while making us hurt so much more than we should have to. I'm slowly learning though that really I had no control over this situation, but I do have some control over how I let it change me...and I so want it to change me for the good...and it is.Jeanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284850520715574995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24301312.post-21131376886013972702009-06-09T22:53:32.009-05:002009-06-09T22:53:32.009-05:00Becki, At any givin point dont feel the need to tr...Becki, At any givin point dont feel the need to try and make things pretty, because as I know IT ISNT PRETTY. It never has been and it never will be. They are your feelings and your feelings alone. NO ONE can tell you how to feel or change your feelings for you. THEY ARE YOURS. That is one of the many things that I learned and am STILL learning when it comes to the loss of Joey. Just so you know I am praying for you and your feelings about where you are at with Olvia.Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018059271014941681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24301312.post-66613295924042597992009-06-09T22:53:21.377-05:002009-06-09T22:53:21.377-05:00Becki, At any givin point dont feel the need to tr...Becki, At any givin point dont feel the need to try and make things pretty, because as I know IT ISNT PRETTY.

It is God glorifying. <br /><br />Even in our confusion and anger and hurt, we are turning to him...and sometimes even when we don't turn to him, we are admitting that we need to turn to him. It is so important to struggle!<br /><br />I love your posts. Keep them coming!<br /><br />P.s. I too wish we could just sit on a sofa somewhere and talk...for hours. It would be soooo nice.Ebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933568282191797153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24301312.post-47510322768825197292009-06-09T10:09:56.391-05:002009-06-09T10:09:56.391-05:00@Dana: YES!

Then when something like this happens, we are helpless to make it 'all better'. Thanks for sharing your story. It means so much to me.<br /><br />@stephanie: Thanks for your email. I will be writing you back as soon as I can.<br /><br />@Nikki: As always, I know right where you are & will be here for you when you need me.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394453146621467115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24301312.post-45541983015999119242009-06-09T08:40:55.741-05:002009-06-09T08:40:55.741-05:00Those feelings of blame are sickening.

We both know that is irrational but it was my one and only task for her at the time--to keep her safe until time to deliver her into the world, and I couldn't even do that. Even after eight months, I still struggle with feelings like these--feelings that I know grieve my Father's heart because they are simply not true. Sometimes, my heart just can't hear Him through the lies.<br /><br />I am so sorry that you are here in this place of grief, but thank you for sharing your feelings openly. I am praying for you and your family.<br /><br />DanaDanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045462734511131862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24301312.post-43473899909254670952009-06-09T08:25:22.365-05:002009-06-09T08:25:22.365-05:00Your honesty is beautiful.
