Infant Loss

Infant Loss

Losing a baby is one of the most difficult things you will ever experience. You feel so many things you may never have felt before. You long for the hope and joy but in reality you have sadness. You can find hope in this difficult time. You may find yourself moving from one emotion to another and back again. These are all normal reactions to the grief you are experiencing. Be patient with yourself and know that many grieve in different ways and at different times. Grief is the natural response to the loss of something we love.

 

 

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18)
