Loss. Lost.

Thursday, November 4th, 2010 was is a life-changing day for me.  For us.  For all of us.

Thursday, at a routine visit to the doctor, at almost 17 weeks, we learned that Serious Baby #3 was no longer with us.

We don’t really know what to do.  We don’t really know how to act.  We don’t even really know how to feel.

We are grieving. 

We are suffering from loss.

We are lost.

Please pray for all of us.  Pray for understanding.  Pray for healing.  Pray for comfort.  Pray for strength.

    Hey love–I am reading this over and over with chills. I am so, so sorry & there are no words I can say. I lost two babies and I know that it hurts and it hurts a lot.

    I am praying for you.

    oh sweetie. I am so sorry. My heart is hurting for you. I know how it feels. I lost one at 12 weeks and it was like a part of my heart was ripped out of my chest. I will say prayers for your family.

    Dearest Krystyn I am so sorry. So sad for you. My love and prayers are with you. Our daughter in law lost a baby 2 years ago. She was not as far along as you but it was still hard. However, a few month later she got pregnant again and now has a precious baby boy. I hope the same thing will happen in your case. Hang in there sweet friend. Time will heal the pain and the tears. I am praying for you with love, Lura

    Krysten,

    I am over from Jennilee’s blog. Just wanted to say that I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby. Please know that we will be praying for your family during this difficult time. My family has walked through the loss of three of our five children. We now have a ministry to offer comfort and hope to those who walk this path. I would like to send you a special Dreams of You Memory Book, Comfort Bear, and a few other items. If that would be o.k., please email me at sufficientgraceministries at gmail (dot) com. We do not charge families for our products or services. We are here if you need us…please let me know if there is anything we can do.

    In His Grace,

    Krystyn,
    My heart goes out to you all. I too have been through a very similar loss, and remember the lost feeling. Nothing in the world seems right. Every second is a struggle. Every thought, every decision, a challenge. Not knowing how to go on. Cherish the memories you had, when your little one was with you, And know that there are many, many people who care deeply about you.
    God bless.

    I am so SO sorry for your loss! I will keep you guys in my prayers. I just don’t know what to say because when we went through this nothing that anyone can do or say makes it any better. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Oh Krystyn honey, I’m so, so, so sorry. I’m crying for you and lifting you all up as we speak. I wish there was more I could do or say but please just know we are all hugging you virtually. Much love…

    Krystyn, after having been through this myself at 26 weeks, I know nothing I say right now will take away the shock, the pain, the deepest hurt you’ve probably ever felt, as much as I wish I could right now. And I won’t tell you time heals because it’s just a bandaid … but love does. Hug your husband, hug your children, and hold on to my virtual hug … I’m thinking of you!

    I have prayed for you both and I would like to tell you I am very sorry for your loss. My sister lost her first child and I know how devastated you must feel. Please, give it to the Lord, He can and will heal your wound and He can, give you another child.
    God bless!

    Krystyn…I am so sorry for your loss. I do not know what you are going through right now, but at the same time I sort of do. My best friend lost her first baby just last month at around 8 weeks and it was a blow for all of us. It totally makes you question everything and leaves you just wondering why. I will be praying and thinking of you during this hard time. I was already thinking of you last night when I saw that Mommy & Me Monday was not up like it usually is…I just never thought this would be why. I know I’m not near you in distance to help…but if there is anything you need…please let me know!

    I’m crying…I’m so, so sorry. There are no words that will ever make the hurt you’re feeling feel “okay”…

    Email me/call me if you need to. Having an angel in heaven is the hardest thing that any parent should have to go through 🙁

    Love you, honey. And sending you lots of love and prayers.

    Krystyn, I don’t know how I found your blog, I think it was God. I am so sad for you right now as I truly know what you are feeling. A little over a year ago I went through this same thing. I was 16 weeks along and same thing no hearbeat and baby was gone. Had only been gone a few days becasue I had felt baby move a couple of days earlier. I will pray for you as this journey is not an easy one. You will become closer to God than ever before and he will physically carry you many days when you can’t do it yourself. Cry when you n eed to cry, laugh when you need to laugh, ask why when you need to, but always remember the Lord is with you and his crying when you cry and laughing when you laugh.
    God Bless you, Susan

    Oh Krystyn…………..I’m so sorry…I’ve just been trying to catch up with blogs and just found out. It takes my breath away and I hardly know what to say……….
    I’ve been there, having had a miscarriage about 3 years ago at 9 weeks…..but surely I know not what else to say………I’m heartbroken and can hardly imagine how it feels to you. I hate to even send this now, so as to stir the feelings for you, but I want you to know I’m thinking of you…………Take good care………
