When it still hurts...
They tell you time heals everything. I was starting to believe that little saying.
It will be one year in just a few weeks since I said my goodbye to my baby. The pain had become more numb. Distance had helped to soften the hard parts and brighten the sweeter moments of that season of grief. Grief itself seemed to have left me for the most part. Only occasional thoughts would pass by to bring a tear to my eyes or a sad sigh to my lips.
My best friend delivered her baby boy born too soon today. My heart is broken for her, and it is like the wound that had finally started to scar was ripped open again and in my mind I was sitting next to her with her holding her baby and me holding my Shiloh, weeping over our mutual loss that I wish neither of us would have ever had to experience. The pain is searing again and the memories are just as harsh as the day they were formed. It still hurts...only more...because today someone I love has to feel the same pain for themselves.
So sorry, Cassie. Hugs to you and your friend. I pray you'll both find rest in Christ amidst the pain of loss.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your friend, and for the reopening of your wound. It has been almost four years for me, and I still catch myself once in awhile feeling like someone is missing from the room.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. I know what you mean. it does hurt even more when a friend goes through something so painful and reopens the wound. praying for you.
