For personal reasons, we took time off. That time turned into a long year. I checked the hats form today and there are 100 requests on there.

This hurts my heart. Simply 100 mom’s seeking some type of comfort.

I will try to work through this list. It may take a while, but I hope to send a hat to all of you.

In December 2018, my husband and I suffered the loss of our first child. I was 5 weeks pregnant when I found out we were expecting and miscarrying. That Christmas was a rough one. I was in the middle of a miscarriage and my entire family got the stomach flu. I cried. Hard. For weeks.

In February 2019 we found out we were expecting again. Due in early November, we were ecstatic. I cried. Tears of Joy. For weeks.

In June 2019, I headed to my 20 week anatomy scan, where I would get the results in an envelope to give to my friend and we’d find out the gender of our baby the following weekend at our gender reveal. Except, the gender of my baby was the very last thing I was worried about in that moment.

In June 2019, I headed to my 20 week anatomy scan, expecting to see photos of our baby and anticipate finding out his gender, but instead I received his death sentence. My son had a condition that has a 90% fatality rate. I cried. Hard. For weeks.

The important point in that last part is that I cried. For weeks.

We got 7.5 beautiful and terrible weeks with him, before he passed away and was stillborn. 7.5 weeks of making decision after decision on what we wanted to do. Lots of tears. Lots of “why God?” Lots of prayers and lots of grief and sorrow.

We knew David was going to die, but it did not take away the tears. The preparation didn’t take away the grief.

We knew that our son had got to skip all the evil of this world, but we still cried and grieve for our son.

John 11:35 says, “Jesus Wept.”

Two simple words with one big story behind them.

Jesus already knew Lazarus had died, yet he still wept for him. Jesus was already prepared for what was to come, yet he still cried. Jesus knew Lazarus would come to life again, yet he still wept. Jesus more than anyone knew the eternal life to come after our worldly life and yet, he still wept.

Jesus Wept.

So many of us try to fix grief and loss with God.

“God will never give you more than you can handle.”

“God needed them more than we did.”

“God has a plan and this life wasn’t meant to be it.”

Some of those aren’t wrong. God absolutely has a plan.

But here’s the thing, Jesus KNEW the plan. Jesus wept.

Those two simple words can teach us so much.

We can be glad and have joy for the future knowing that we are reunited one day, but like Jesus, that doesn’t mean that we don’t feel the sadness and darkness of this world.

Understanding that this life isn’t the finale can coincide with walking the emotions of loss.

Jesus Wept. It’s okay if you do too.

“I wish I would have. . .”

There will never be enough hours, enough pictures, it’ll never be the right outfit, the right urn.

You will always have things you wish you would have done or wish you would have done differently.

Because the only thing that would have been right is if we didn’t lose them in the first place.
