I was sitting in my chair having my morning coffee and looking out the window at the cold world outside. My thoughts were instantly on Stella and how this horrid event has changed my world into, what it feels is much like what i see outside my window. A feeling now instilled in my soul of being cold and alone, a bitter wind on my face, and stillness all around me. A yearning for that warm fire, the embrace of having my child in my arms rocking away in this chair, wrapped in a blanket. Oh how i ache for that! I have also noticed how so many people have shied away from me. People who were so happy for me to be having such a wonderful complete family. The people who just love good news, love to see others "make it" People who would keep contact with me on line have now most likely blocked me on their profile. I have become, to many, the harsh reminder that bad things happens and for no apparent reason. That or maybe i am cursed and its something i can spread to others like the plague, a disease that ruins your life. I really don't understand the stand point of this being a "miracle in disguise". Either it is the best disguise or a total sham to get me to "feel better about it all" or "get over it and accept it, move on" whatever it may be. The truth is, my life has changed, and not for the better. This is something you can never "accept" something you can never "get over" or "move on from" You can learn to live with the complete agony of it, the aweful truth of it. The 100lb weight you now have to carry for the rest of your living life. You may get used to carrying it everyday, but it never goes away and it will ALWAYS suck and some days that weight will feel heavier than it did the day before. I have a hard time, also with the idea that God did this to me. That it was Gods choice to take my child for whatever plan there is for my life. That does not make sense. God, who also gave his child and knows the agony of such a thing, take a baby, who never got to breathe the breath of live even once. After putting me through, what i thought, was the most aweful event to lead to me being left with a Csect and no child at all!? The physical evidence of this left upon my womb for the rest of my life? HOW is that going to make any of this life i have to live any "better". How would taking my child away in, the worst manner, ever be something God would do to a child of his own? In JOB, in the bible there is a verse where God speaks to Satan, and it is Satan that puts the moves on Job, not God. Read in Job 2 "Satan attacks Jobs health". It explains in Job how Satan is the one who attacks Job in all of his facets of his life, God saying to Satin to spare his life and surely Job will not curse against the Lord still. How is this? How is it that God will let Satan walk about creating havoc on his children who serve him? WHY? Is it that Satan has taken my child? How can that be something i can be "OK" with? In Jeremiah Rachel explains how all the children she has lost are away in the land of the enemy and until the lord comes again there is where they stay. Is Stella held captive in Satan's hands until the lord comes? I just don't understand this at all. I am sure its not healthy to continue to ponder, but how can i not? Plain and simple its NOT FAIR, it is NOT something i can just live with, its not something i can just ACCEPT. Especially when i cant understand it. I pray God does not allow more pain to be inflicted on my life, my children or my husband, because surely that will destroy me.

Oh, Krystal. I could have written this post, only about my hubby leaving instead of about stillbirth. The worst are the people who want to give you things, but avoid you at the same time. Like giving you things will make it not happen to them. Like you really need things instead of friends. I don't think losing your child could ever be considered a miracle in disguise, but I do believe God has a plan for everything -- a plan for your good and His glory -- and I believe Stella will be waiting to greet you at Heaven's gates. Also, I believe Rachel lived a long time before Jesus came and died on the cross, so if you believe the Jesus is the Lord and has already come (as I believe), then Stella is not held captive in Satan's hands. Satan may be testing you as he tested Job, but I do not believe Stella is with him. And you know what? In the end when Job made it through all Satan's testing and still remained faithful to God, God restored everything that had been taken from him and then some. Bad things happen. And not because God does them, but because Satan has temporary dominion over the Earth until Christ returns. But even so, God will not allow you to be tested alone. He's always with you, loving you, and using every circumstance to draw you closer to Him. I, too, pray God holds you close and does not allow you to feel any more pain and I believe He will never give you more than you can handle. You are a strong woman and a wonderful mother and I pray God grants you your rainbow baby, the desire of your heart. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you, even if you just want to talk.
Thank you so much Christina for commenting. I really needed to hear a little bit of advice today. I can understand how what had happened to Rachel was before Jesus came, but its also somthing i think about, far too often even. I feel the simple fact that i dont know what happened to stella is making this hard to move on from, or "accept" if you may. I also thank you for your prayers. <3
