As the reality of baby #7 soaks in, so does the reality of what I have lost. The past couple days I have grieved over the fact that I will never have a complete family photo again. I just grieve.

Today I don’t have any super epiphany to share with that. I have no “Ah-ha!” moment that has brought me to my senses. I have no magic words to dispense to other hurting moms who feel the same way. I am just sad. I am sad that my next family photo will have a piece of me gone.

How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,
    with sorrow in my heart every day?

…

But I trust in your unfailing love.
    I will rejoice because you have rescued me.

Psalm 13

    I’ve had the same thought, many times. The only peace I’ve come to about it is that God sees the entirety of my family, and what sweetness that reunion for the first time will be, when we all meet each other!! 🙂

    Serena – I have been meaning for some time to share with you this story. The man involved is a former classmate and dear friend of my husband. The story is tragic, but his response has inspired me. I in no way want to minimize your pain, in fact you need those tears for cleansing, I only want to offer hope and encouragement through another’s story. If interested, http://blog.al.com/breaking/2010/05/siran_stacy_wanted_to_die_afte.html
    is just one headline of the event. Feel free to google and take a peek around.
    You and your family are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
    – Julie
