6 Years Today

 I was browsing my facebook page and a memory had been posted from my post on 9th November, testifying how Jaden was recovering well and thanking friends for standing with us. Little did I know the very next day, Jaden would rest in our Father's arms. So 6years today, actually being a Friday like it was on that day, I felt sad reading it and seeing it. It has been a journey and continues to be with many treasures in the dark. I never thought, I would breath again after Jaden rested yet here we are 6years later confessing of God's goodness and comfort. He has been our comforter and allowed us to walk beside families who have lost their babies and for that we are thankful. Isaiah 61:2-3 has been our anchor verse. To proclaim the year of the Lord ’s favor a nd the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of ...

Why I Love October

I love the month of October.  This month has always and will always be special to me.  We were married in October and next week ,we celebrate our 10th anniversary. A few years ago, we had a successful open heart surgery for baby girl in India.  But why I love it the more is that 6years ago, on 13th October, we were gifted with baby Jaden. Our second born baby who we eagerly waited for and loved once we held him in our hands. We thought it was obvious that he would stay with us but after 3 weeks he could not stay. October is is the Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. We Remember, the babies born sleeping, those we carried but never held, those we held but could not take home, those who came home, but could not stay. With Jaden not staying as much as we wanted him to, we grieved deeply yet we discovered so many treasures in the dark. When our pastor preached about treasures in the dark, I wondered what he meant.6 years now, we have been able to appre...

It's been so long

Hi friend, It's been so long since I dropped by, but I hope that I can write more often. I have been well and blessed to journey with friends through life. It is almost 6years in November, since Jaden rested and I look back now and think I have a little clue to 'my  why me questions'  which I desperately sort answers. You see, when in pain, it is hard to see, hear or believe the answers to our questions. Would it make sense when in pain to hear that your loss would help you encourage others? It would seem ridiculous, unfair or not make sense at all. I totally feel you, I was there too. 6 years down the line, the pain is not intense as it was 6years ago. The loss has made me more human to say the least. I rush towards those mum's that experience loss. Things I took for granted like pregnancy, healthy babies and life are never obvious for me. All these are gifts and blessings from God. So yes today may hurt, tomorrow also but with time you get to see a clearer p...
