I've been crying a lot the last two days. I am just dreading Mother's Day. Last year on Mother's Day we were excitedly awaiting the arrival of Taylor Grace, but this year I am remembering that we lost her. I am feeling quite alone in this too. I am still a mother and I know this to be true, but no one else seems to remember this. So I sit home alone remembering that I don't have a baby to hold while everyone else is out celebrating their blessings. I decided this was not how I wanted to spend my weekend, so I decided to share my struggle with others. The love I received is beyond measure. I am so glad to have friends that have experienced loss as well. I am not happy that they know the hurt I do, but rather that we can hold each other up when the one is hurting. My goal this weekend is to share my story so that other women who faced similar loss know they are still remembered and loved, so to all you women out there: those struggling to conceive, those who have conceived and lost, and those who still have babies in their arms today- Happy Mother's Day!
For those struggling to conceive, I pray that you will soon know the blessing of having a baby in your arms as well. May God raise you up and bring you peace this very difficult weekend.
