Books
Finding me was the key to finding joy again. Some of my most helpful readings came for these four books. The SIDS and Infant death book helped me find peace in knowing that I wasn’t alone in my suffering. As others shared their stories I realized I could too. The book gave me insight on how my daycare might be feeling and that SIDS is not preventable. It helped me to explain the loss to the older boys and what to expect as Chris grieved too.
Shortly after Clara passed I was asked to join a women’s bible study. The reflection during that time helped me refocus and helped heal my heart a bit. It also helped me, and continues to help me, deal with my next little guys health concerns. My favorite verse comes from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
To that I try my best to reach out and share with others what helps me and while I do that I find comfort in the those I connect with.
