Long ago, when I was pregnant with my firstborn, Hubby and I attended a parenting course organised by our church. The facilitators/mentors were a married couple. They then had four kids already and their youngest was still a baby. Nonetheless they served, despite their busy doctor careers and four kids. They were kind, encouraging and godly. Patient and helpful.
This couple went on to have more babies while we had more of our own too. ;) As it stands, we have four and they have 8!
But yesterday, they just lost one of their kids. The baby was born with a genetic disorder. Despite the odds, the baby survived the pregnancy, childbirth, and even babyhood. But yesterday, the child was gone. A friend says her quality of life would have gone worse had she continued living on earth. So God in His mercy brought her home. No more pain. No more abnormality. Safe, healthy and now perfect in the arms of Jesus.
But the grief of losing your own child... I cannot imagine. I have nothing to say. Praying for God's peace upon their family.
