Thank you for sharing. You’re right, we never completely untangle our tapestry… it just becomes part of our new one. I’ll never forget what happened, or what might have been, or that my babies are in heaven now. ♥

Thank you for sharing. A friend linked your blog on Facebook and I decided to read (truly a God moment, since I don’t normally). Those babies will always be a part of your life and, in my humble opinion, some of those threads shouldn’t be untangled from your life. They are your children. But, at the same time, there are things that must be untangled so that you are not dwelling on it when you are with your friends. You writing was so beautiful and truly helped me to put words to the feelings that I have been having over this last year.
I was pregnant 4 times in 2011 and still have no living children. I miscarried twice (both early, 5 and 7 weeks) and my son died at only 23 weeks gestation because of a cord accident. People seem to think that we should “get over” the loss and “move on.” The only way that I have found, through a lot of prayer and wise counsel, to get through everything is to talk about it. Knowing that my son and my other babies are with Jesus and I will see them again is my greatest joy right now. I have untangled a lot of stuff, but I have also held on to some of those tangles, so that I will never forget the joy that I had or the love that we felt for those children.
I am pregnant again, due about three days before I delivered my stillborn son. I had thought about whether I would get attached to this pregnancy. I came to the same conclusion that you did. If I didn’t weave that tapestry again, didn’t commit my heart, I would have felt like I was doing a disservice to this little one and to God. I am very attached to this little one. If God should choose to take him/her, I would be devastated, but I know that is the way that it has to be and I cherish it. I also cherish every minute that I have with this one, even though they aren’t here yet!
Thank you for your beautiful words. I pray that you get your heart’s desire in the coming year and that you are able to untangle the necessary pieces of the tapestry and continue to new, wonderful threads throughout!
Many blessings,
Heather Anne

Lindsey, I’m so sorry that you felt the pain of miscarriage. I’m glad you haven’t hardened your heart because yours is really beautiful. You’re inspiring.

Yes! In Susun Weed’s book, Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year, she mentions it as an excellent source of calcium. Drink up! (try a Netti Pot too)

Aww Lindsay! I feel like i know you so well, even tho we’ve never met. I love you for this post. You worded it perfectly with the weaving analogy. I’d love to see you, Matt and Gabe next time I’m in Florida.

What a beautiful entry! I myself have experienced loss through two miscarriages and now am blessed with my son Gideon who is 5 weeks old. It is extremely hard and difficult to go through the event of losing a child, but I always thought to myself “The Lord’s plan is perfect, and He does not give us what we cannot handle.” It is okay to grieve but also to rejoice cause the Lord has blessed and will bless you again!! Be encouraged and I’ll lift you up in my prayers.
