If you didn’t know, it is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness month. I wanted to have this posted before Halloween rolls around because then it would be too late. It is an awareness that hits close to our hearts as we are a family that has been through a really hard time after losing our precious son in utero at 8 months. He had a chromosome disorder called Trisomy 18, also known as Edward’s Syndrome. It’s mostly a fatal disorder and very few live after birth and if they do, they have some major diabilities. The upside to that is that their families get to witness their breath the short time they are here. We didn’t.
In 2006, our beloved son passed in utero and we gave birth to him the next day and buried him shortly after that. We found out early on in the pregnancy that he had this disorder and we made the very difficult decision to carry on till the Lord took him back home. He taught me alot. Mostly how God does wonders and everything that happens is a lesson and only makes us stronger. It did. I can take on the world after going through that. So I want to express my appreciation for this month and I hope that if you are out there going through a similar situation, just hold on tight. The road of grief is a terrible one to travel. It gets easier and one day, the pain will become joy. If you let it. And you should. I would like to think that God wants you to.
I have my story here. It is a bit more detailed and caution for those not wanting to hear about it.
