My womb is occupied and yet
it is empty with no sign of life.

My heart beats and yet the
baby's heart inside of me does not.

This is heavy. This cuts deep to my core. This hurts.
My heart is broken. I am grieving the loss of a child.
I’ve never wanted this trial. Then again, no one does.
There is a season and cycle to every living thing.
This season and cycle was too short for me.
I love this sweet child of mine. Oh how I love this baby!
My heart is also full. I have the gift of being sealed to
my family for eternity. My knowledge of the gospel
brings me peace. I am so grateful to be a member of
my family for eternity. My knowledge of the gospel
brings me peace. I am so grateful to be a member of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
We know children who return to heaven are safe and
we will see them again. It may not be easy waiting,
but I am grateful to know I will see my baby again.
My child is safe in heaven. My sweet child lives and
I will be able to raise him/her in the next life.

What a blessing it is to know where my child is and
that I will be able to see my baby again. My heart
aches for those who do not have this knowledge or
these blessings through the sealing power of an
eternal family.

Even on the darkest days, we must remember that
the sun is still shining, even when we cannot see it.
When we choose to rise above the darkness, we will
find the sunshine and see things in a whole new light.
In this moment I’m choosing to see the light.
I’m choosing to feel the light. I’m choosing to let God’s
unconditional love in. It won't always be this way.
But right now, in this moment, I’m choosing to savor the light.

My darling Sheena. I'm so saddened to hear your story but so glad you are finding solace with your Savior. My phone was stolen about a month ago and my daughter reprogrammed an old one for me. But it only worked sporadically so I wasn't able to access your message until today. Please know that you and your family will be in my prayers. I'm a terrible friend but know that i do love you. Let's talk when you feel up to i . You are still a beautiful writer. Your prose has a poetic feel. Thank you for sharing your story and please accept my love and condolences.
