I'm a church worker and future pastor's wife with many many friends who have lost a child and know that I will come across many more when we are in the parish. I also am currently finishing the miscarriage of my second child, Micah Stacy, that was confirmed by ultrasound a week ago today and mostly happened Friday. We would have been 12 weeks today, had progesterone support since week 4, and had an idea where we were headed since late week 7 (progesterone failed to rise) and mid week 8 (first ultrasound showed Micah 2.5 weeks too small with a faint but existent heartbeat).Our faith has been a tremendous asset and I'd say we are both doing well as a whole, but definitely have our moments. We announced on Facebook last week when we knew Micah was gone. We had a lot supportive words and offers to talk. I think the most comforting was when anyone did anything out of the way--instead of replying to a text or commenting on a post, sending me a pm, giving me a call, or checking I. a few days later. Also, there was someone who I barely know anymore (barely overlapped with me in our church worker program) who sent me a package with a letter, prints of "I am Jesus' Little Lamb" hymn and artistic print of the lyrics of the last verse, and a tiny stuffed lamb. The little lamb is in my purse so I see it every time I pull something out and when my one year old first saw it, she carried it around for a few minutes giving it lots of hugs and cuddles, as if showing love to the sibling she won't meet until the resurrection.
