Prayers for a Friend

My heart is breaking right now. We just received word that our new neighbors who were expecting there 2nd son, due on August 24th, passed away this past Friday. She didn’t feel movement and they couldn’t find a heartbeat. She delivered him today but they couldn’t find anything wrong so are doing an autopsy
.
I can’t imagine what they are going through right now. It’s all I can think about at work today. How do you go back to your house with the nursery? How do you say goodbye?

Hearing this is stirring up so many emotions for me. It’s bringing me back to the days when we lost Nathaniel and Grace. I can’t begin to fathom what my neighbor is going through right now. The baby was almost to be born. I’m sure they had his room ready and a named picked out.

I want to do something for them but just don’t know what. We don’t know them very well as they just moved into our development a few months ago. I just want to help. I want to help take her pain away. No one should be experiencing this. It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it.

I’m praying today for her, that she may be healed during this difficult time and find some sort of comfort. I’m sure she could use all the prayers she can get.

It’s just another reminder to appreciate what you have, even during those difficult days. Life is a miracle and we sometimes forget that. I’m going to give Liam an extra special hug tonight.
