What's this about?

I am Shannon and my husband is Chris. This is a place to share and process struggles related to miscarriages, eating disorders, and Shannon's struggle with sexual abuse. We have found that joy, exempt of Christ, is often bittersweet in this life. We look forward to heaven where sweetness will abound and bitterness will be gone.

Comforted

I am amazed by how blessed I am. God has used my loss of Samantha to get me through this loss of Dominic. I am amazed by how good and amazing He is. By giving me Dominic, he allowed me to gain the strength to put Samantha's belongings away. He allowed me to feel comforted in knowing that Samantha and Dominic are in heaven together. He used my loss of Samantha as a blessing for my loss of Dominic. I know we will get through even though our hearts are hurting quite badly.

    Hi Shannon,
    I heard this song on the radio I wanted to send it to you. "Our Hope Endures" by Natalie Grant:

    You would think only so much can go wrong
    Calamity only strikes once
    And you assume this one has suffered her share
    Life will be kinder from here
    Oh, but sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
    Sometimes the sky rains night after night
    When will it clear?

    But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
    It's more than our optimism
    Let the earth quake
    Our Hope is unchanged

    How do we comprehend peace within pain?
    Or joy at a good man's wake?
    Walk a mile with the woman whose body is racked
    With illness, oh how can she laugh?
    Oh, 'cause sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
    Sometimes the sky rains night after night
    When will it clear?

    But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
    It's more than our optimism
    Let the earth quake
    Our Hope is unchanged

    Emmanuel, God is with us
    El Shaddai, all sufficient
    We never walk alone
    And this is our hope

    But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
    It's more than our optimism
    Let the earth quake
    Our Hope is unchanged


    I love you Shanny. You're always in my prayers. I will never stop loving your babies. God will get us through these difficult times, and somehow He will make us stronger because of them.
