I have shared that same pain many times and even had a partial molar pregnancy with one of my losses as well. All of our babies have indeed changed and enriched our lives, as devastating as the losses were.

I look forward to the day we’ll meet Grace and Gabriel and my whole gang. 🙂

Thanks for this beautiful post.

And I’d forgotten that our losses happened about the same time in pregnancy. I never got to see the perfectly formed baby though; the ultrasound screen was turned away. I knew too, though. I was willing away those thoughts, but I just knew. It was very painful, but I have been able to view it very similarly to the way you have. Interestingly, the baby that followed is our Elizabeth Grace, so there’s another connection. She knows, because I’ve told her many times, that I would not have her if Gabriel had lived. Nor the other two who followed her. I love how you wrote about this experience. I have, too, but this was so poignantly stated. Beautiful. May is when Gabriel comes most strongly to my mind and heart. I consider May 2 his birthday in heaven. May you continue to grow in faith by Grace’s absence, as we have by Gabriel’s. Gabriel and Grace…that has a nice ring to it. 🙂

What an experience. And what – well, what grace it takes to share it you have, both this year and in 2008.

God bless you and your family. My prayers for you all and for Grace.
