8. Hope. There is hope. You may not feel it. You may have lost it. Your hope is not in your own ability to “get over this,” or that you will forget and “move on.” Your hope, my sweet friend, is in the Lord Himself (Psalm 42:11), in His promises to you in His Word, and in the joy that if you know Him and His forgiveness of sins, have embraced Him and surrendered to His salvation plan, you will see your baby again.
9. Include others. It is so easy to shut others out of your pain. Not to receive the love and consolation, but rather to withdraw into a shell of seclusion where you are left to pity and nurture your heartache. One of the kindest actions you can do for yourself is to include others into your sphere of loss. Make the effort to go out of “island” mode and allow yourself to be rescued.
10. Joy. The joy of the Lord is your strength. All that you know of God. Every moment that you have already experienced in Him. Let those bring you joy at this time. He has never let you down before. Never disappointed. He has been ever-faithful every step of the way. And He has not changed. Has not left or forsaken (Hebrews 13:5). Even in the midst of this. You can rejoice.
My heart is with you. I am now one of the multitudes. I am weak at this very time of writing. Both physically and emotionally. But I know that my King reigns, and it is only by His grace, that you and I can see Him through the pain of miscarriage.
With my love to you,
~Tehila
