This is a blog that is meant to help parents everywhere who have lost a child, but mostly those who have lost older children. I am not saying that losing a baby is not a very devastating event in one's life, but it is a totally different type of loss than that of an older child. I know because I experienced both.
This is intended to be a place where people can come and see that life can and does go on. It never returns to "normal", nor do we ever "get over the pain". Please don't read this blog with those expectations or you will be sorely disappointed.
This blog will be full of sadness, grief, happiness and life. Please remember that I am still finding my "new normal" and hopefully, prayerfully, this blog can help us on that journey together.
I do talk a lot about God because, quite frankly, without my faith my husband would have been burying me shortly after we buried our son.
I pray this blog blesses those who need blessing, helps those who need helping, comforts those who need comforting and points those in need of an inner peace toward that source of inner peace.
I cannot even understand nor fully comprehend what losing a child is like and I cannot even experience that pain but I can fully agree that with the Christian Faith that was instilled within me that I had handed down from George and Thelma Monroe that God does indeed give us that Spiritual Inner Peace from the Holy Spirit and Christ the Messiah. I am so happy that as I grow older physically that also spiritually that I am growing in the walk of Christ and also my relationship with him is on a more intimate level than it used to be at when I was younger. I still cannot compare to the prayer department as to which Grandpa Monroe was at; but I do pray and God knows my heart and my continuing desire to spend time with him and his word which I do by when Rebecca and go to Church In The City Of Muskegon and I bring my laptop with me and whomever is giving a sermon on Sunday Morning I just have multiple tabs opened to specific bible books;chapter and verse and proceed to copy and paste them to a blank Word Document to save for later.
