Bitter Sweet Weekend

We are headed out to visit the family this weekend. It will be a bitter sweet weekend though. My sister-in-love lost her precious baby boy last year, several months along in her pregnancy. There is a Memorial Service being held this weekend for parents in the local area to grieve together. We are going to write prayers or Scripture verses and attach them to balloons. That is such a beautiful way to express such a loss. I hope that everyone will pray for their family as they grieve for Nehemiah. On the other hand we can celebrate what a miracle and blessing it is that we are able to experience bringing a life and soul into this world. Even though the world is filled with problems, there is a Hope. And through that Hope there is healing, comfort, provision, wisdom, refuge, strength, and above all change; a real change that no human with their own power can accomplish. Through this there was a light shed on the fact there are not many support groups for families dealing with this loss. If you know of a support group or are in need of a support group please leave a comment so that someone can contact you and be there in your time of need. There are times that this struggle can break apart marriages when a wife and husband do not know how to help the other grieve.
