Thank you I just lost my sweet boy 19weeks 3days
ReplyDeleteits been a week and nothing comforts me very much
finding these resources and songs bring me comfort
THANK YOU
Oh those songs -- just by some of the titles, I'm guessing that the singers/songwriters have known this terrible pain of baby/child loss. I don't know why that should still surprise me, but it does. But it also makes me feel less alone...and also more hopeful. God is in the business of making beauty from ashes, and I can't ever be grateful enough. Thanks for compiling this.
ReplyDeleteThank you for adding Eden's Wings! <3
ReplyDeleteI pinned it so I can remember to put the link in my next care packages. Thanks, this is such a great idea!
