Yesterday, June 22nd, was the due date for our 2nd child. A flood of emotions has overwhelmed me as I try to imagine what our life would be like right now if I wouldn’t have had a miscarriage, while at the same time I am trying not to think too much about it.
In spite of the sadness that is still there, I am doing okay right now. But I am hugging Adrianna a little closer, a little longer, and a little tighter these days. I am so thankful for the wonderful child I do have and for my supportive husband.
Anyways, after my miscarriage in November I made a scrapbook page using one of our ultrasound pictures. Though it took me two days and I cried the entire time, it was a healing moment for me. I made a WordArt of Isaiah 49:1 for the page that I would like to share. I think this verse is encouraging for both expectant mothers in good, healthy situations or for those grieving the loss of a child.

Thank you for letting me share with you.
This verse has taken on a new and personal meaning for me since you brought it to our attention. Such a wonderful and precious thought, that the Creator of the Universe, Who also creates each little life, knows that tiny person by name.
May you take comfort in knowing that little life is with Him.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
I am so sorry for your loss, but how wonderful that despite your pain you can see God’s plan for your little one and realize that His love is greater than anything we can imagine. Thank you for sharing this beautiful verse with everyone.
Be Blessed,
Nicole
thanx! a very touching, sweet layout
I know your child is watching over you and your family. I also lost a child when she was 17. My heart breaks for you and know that with time, the pain will turn into beautiful thoughts and memories. God Bless You!
What a perfect word from our Heavenly Father to comfort you during this time! Thanks for sharing the l/o. It is beautiful.
Peace be with you,
Paige 🙂
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Your layout is beautiful. While I haven’t lost a child, I did go through a time where my Doctors felt that a miscarriage was eminent. The fear, sadness and helplessness was a horrible experience. I thank God everyday for letting me raise my beautiful girl. I know the pain will never disappear but God will help you and one day you will be together again.
I’m so sorry for your loss. May God give you comfort.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for your transparency and willingness to share the sad parts of life too. I really believe that Jesus is always close and he cares for the broken-hearted. May there be great healing in your life and those whom the Lord brings to your blog.
Thank you so much for sharing and for sharing your pain! I lost a daughter 5 years ago–she was stillborn at 24 weeks of pregnancy…my heart breaks for your loss and knows your pain…the Lord used my loss to give birth to Tiny Purpose, a ministry for moms who have suffered miscarriage, stillbirth or early infant death…check out our website and may you be reminded that the Lord has a purpose for both your sweet baby’s life and yours–he’s still in control! Best wishes to you for the future!
I am just bawling you page is absolutely beautiful. It made all of the emotions of losing my child at 10 weeks come back. After 3 years and we are still battling infertility the due date and her heaven date are still the hardest and don’t get any easier.
Amber, thank you for allowing us to see a glimpse into your emotions about such a difficult subject. While I cannot even begin to imagine how hard the 22nd was for you, I do appreciate your willingness to talk about it. You are a wonderful and true friend.
I too am sorry for your loss. Only a mother knows and understands how it feels to lose a child. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “I know the plans I have for you to prosper you and not to harm you, but to give you hope and a future. May God bless you and your family and comfort your heart.
i am sorry for your loss. may you always find comfort in god’s loving embrace. godbless you & your family.
