Feelin a little low today-Today would have been my oldest daughters birthday-she would have been 26;my first wife miscarried 2 weeks short of full term-it is a 2- sided thing---on one hand I miss not getting to see her grow up;on the other hand I know she is with the Lord;I have feelings of maybe jealousy:she is There,never had to kick and scratch to survive in this world-and I am still here.......sometimes,I feel life is a real burden-However;when Jesus said"Pick up your cross and follow me",He was telling me ya gotta find a way to deal with life till its over,and He will be right there beside me-I know I am not the only one being battered by life;as a matter of fact,all the things I have beeh through have been character-building-some even say"oh yeah;that Steve sure is a character"!!

than once ( Steve) <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)"> We each have different roads to travel and tests to take. I just hope I pass the tests. Here's a poster I made that's in my detecting room , steve in so az
 
I have had been a part of a marriage a long time ago that we had shared the hard times of a couple miscarriages (none as long in time as your wife and you had gone through though).
I don't know if this will help any and certainly not in the psychological field at all - just an old fart. I sometimes beat myself up for 'what could have beens' or 'what should have beens'. I had times where life could have been different - should have been different and I shouldn't be just a worker at Walmart and wondering if my job will be there tomorrow or even tonight.
I have to think that these thoughts I've had about the past aren't the things God wants me to dwell on.
If anything maybe more like the devil doing his best to make me think God's plan for my life #####or that God is an unfair, uncaring, etc. God.
We know these to be lies of the devil. In the instance of Lot's wife who was told not to look back but she did anyway - nothing good came of her looking back.
I don't recall but I am sure, with the parting of the Red Sea and the crossing to safety of Abraham and all those with him, that they were told to go forward and not look back. Since the enemy was close to their heels, maybe had anyonw stopped to look back and linger in thought about what used to be or other thoughts, they too would have drowned with the Egyptians who were behind them when the walls of the Sea closed back in.
I can feel some of your pain. I can't take it away - only Jesus can because He knows about pain.
Cast your cares upon Him for He cares for you.
Don't know if this helps you any. We look through a glass darkly...not knowing or seeing the greater glory God has or why or what He does but we must rest assured He knows more than we do. Maybe He saved the child from a traumatic death had she remained. We will never know.
God bless you and your wife (and the rest of your family) and His peace and understanding help you through this difficult time. We must never forget too that while we dwell on the past we neglect the living and the present which includes Jesus. Maybe now is a time to draw nearer to those who are here and now for their love and support and so that you may give them the love and support that they may be needing from you at this time.
God bless

by SIDS at 3-1/2 mos. 'Twas really a sad & difficult time, especially for her, as I can still see her kneeling at his graveside & crying, "I want my baby, I want my baby!" Nearly broke my heart & still brings tears to my eyes when I remember!
I wrote a poem and will post it sometime, but the Lord wanted me to post this poem,
COME, REST IN ME, as He gave it to me yesterday! I tried to post the copy I had, but couldn't be read, so had to retype it for posting today. Jesus knew ahead of time that you would need to be uplifted, so I hope this poem will do that along with my prayers! God is Good and never failing in comforting His Children!
I've decided to do what I need to do tomorrow instead of today!
The poem isn't as clear as it should be but I hope you can read it okay!
God Bless!

we should've, we would've but I've learned I cannot change a thing by worrying, regretting or looking back to what was, as I grew closer & closer to my Savior and became a born again, believer in Jesus Christ because of it! Therefore, let us go forward spreading the good news of the gospel and doing good works for our Lord!
Blessed be His Holy name and His name is Jesus!
God Bless!

Found the poem - did the art work. I taught Art & silversmithing 27 years in high school before retiring, Steve
 
take Art when I went to school, but not too much of that in the small town schools long ago!
God Bless!
