Heartbroken

By Lorraine

Heartbroken with the sudden and unimaginable loss of a daughter and grandson, a wife and a child, from labor complications.

(as an update, I am sharing the latest Grateful Prayer Thankful Heart newsletter here for those who missed it)

Heartbroken with the sudden and unimaginable loss of a daughter and grandson, a wife and a child, from labor complications.

Dear Friends,

It is with the heaviest heart I share unimaginable sadness.

My dear sister has lost her precious daughter and grandson.

Her dear son-in-law has lost his beloved wife and his perfect baby boy.

a healthy pregnancy

then tragedy

labor complications 

grief beyond measure

a young woman with a smile that brightened the world

with a heart even bigger

a baby so perfect even in silence

prayers for this family

Heartbroken with the sudden and unimaginable loss of a daughter and grandson, a wife and a child, from labor complications.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes

Heartbroken with the sudden and unimaginable loss of a daughter and grandson, a wife and a child, from labor complications.


Heartbroken

In the blink of an eye, lives are changed and I try to be a help and encouragement to those are hurting so deeply. When time and inspiration permits I will resume posting. I plan to share a recipe Toni gave me years ago. I wish you could have known her. She would have brightened your day.

Amazing Grace

The words by John Newton in his beloved hymn, Amazing Grace never cease to move and humble with its message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed through the mercy of God.

Amazing Grace was sung at the service for Toni and baby Trey. It was most lovely. If you’d like to read all of the words, click my recent post, John Newton’s Amazing Grace.

Or listen to the song on YouTube by Alan Jackson as Toni loved country music.

    Oh, my dear friend, my heart has ached for you and your family since I first heard of your loss. Reading your words here again remind me that we need to hold each day as precious and time with our dear ones as more special than we usually do. I pray that God will continue to hold each of you close as you walk the hard road we face.

    Oh, Lorraine, I am so sad for you and this precious husband, her parents and all concerned. What a shock! We so often just take childbirth for granted as we do life. May the Lord bring comfort and peace during this tough time. Love and hugs!

    Oh, Lorraine, my own heart aches with this news! Yes, “unimaginable sadness.” My own daughter delivered a healthy baby son just a few days before this tragedy in your family . . . and I truly cannot imagine.

    Dear God, have mercy!

    You have my prayers for this dear girl’s mother and husband, this sweet baby’s grandmother and father, and all who loved them!
