I remember when I was pregnant with my second son, about 25 or 26 weeks along. My friend who was just a week or two behind me, lost her baby. She has an incompetent cervix and went into premature labor and there was nothing that could be done. I remember feeling so guilty, that here I was pregnant and healthy, we hadn't even tried for this baby. And then I was mad at myself for taking their hurt and their pain and only seeing mine. It was hard to see them when we went home, thinking that thier baby should be here with us and be the same age as my Kolby. I am not going anywhere with this... I am just sad and will keep them in my prayers. What a beautiful post.

When you're so close to someone going through loss that you feel for them, but at the same time you know what they're feeling is so much deeper. It's hard to know what to say or what to do, and it's so rough to acknowledge there isn't anything human that can be done. God is there and He will do and we have the hard job of not getting in His way. These ladies are so fortunate to have a friend who feels so deeply and raw for them, and I'm sure they each know it.

I can not even imagine what these women (and other women I know) are going through. I admire their strength and faith. I will be praying for your friends. Thank you for posting this.

We lost our first baby, and that was hard. But to lose nine? And your other friends and their losses? Makes me cry. I like to think of the excitement I will have when I get to Heaven and get to meet baby#1 for the first time. I can't hardly believe it. Prayers are being sent for your friends, Kelly.

I too know the pain of losing a child in the womb. But God is good, and everything happens in his time. He used my miscarriage to draw me closer to him.
