Two months ago today our tiny baby boy was born into Heaven. 
We named him Zachary Matthew & we know that he is our little saint watching over us. God has showered us with consolation & love in this time of grief. I'll tell you about it sometime soon.We miss him so terribly much, but yet still hold him in our hearts & know that God has a plan far greater than our own. 
One consolation that I have found is this prayer that my sister gave to me.

I'll tell you about it sometime soon.We miss him so terribly much, but yet still hold him in our hearts & know that God has a plan far greater than our own. One consolation that I have found is this prayer that my sister gave to me."Dear Saint Catherine of Sweden, patroness of those who have suffered a miscarriage, you know the dangers that await unborn infants. Please, intercede for me that I may receive healing from the loss I have suffered. My soul has been deprived of peace and I have forgotten what true happiness is. As I mourn the loss of my child, I place myself in the hands of God and ask for strength to accept His will in all things, for consolation in my grief, and for peace in my sorrow. Glorious Saint Catherine, hear my prayers and ask that God, in good time, grant me a healthy baby who will become a true child of God. Amen."
+ St. Zachary, pray for us! +
So sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers to your whole family.

Your strength amazes me, Robyn. I hope that you know that I have not forgotten, regardless of the fact that I may not speak of Zachary. So I may not bring him up in conversation, but I still want to know how you're doing and would be more than happy to listen or talk about him, should you bring it up. :) I haven't stopped praying for you, am always thinking of you, and hoping that your heart and body are healing as well as can be expected! Thank you for this update. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteThank you, Aubrey! I'm strengthened by the love & prayers of family & friends like YOU. Sometimes it feels like it's getting harder instead of easier, though. Please, keep those prayers coming. God bless you! =]
