How To Survive Baby Loss

erspective of heaven is a spark that can touch you, and the
Pjoy of God is what I pray you experience. King David from
the Bible lost his baby. David mourned and fasted while the
child was alive, asking for his life, but when his son died, he
faced the harsh reality of grief. However, the blow was lessened
when he knew that he would see him again someday. “I will go
to him, but he will not return to me” 2 Samuel 12:23. He had a
confident hope. So can you.

Every man, woman, and child, when they exist, always exist.
Your child is permanent and still exists. They are in Heaven to
stay. Do you have the confidence that someday you will have a
reunion?

My husband comforted me by saying, “We get to raise our
daughter, and He gets to raise our son.” I almost cried. “I wish I
could raise him!” As much as I desire this as do you, thinking
about the reality of what my child is experiencing right now
was heart opening! Our Creator and the angels are perfectly
capable of raising our little ones in Heaven. They have the best
Heavenly Daddy that never loses His temper, the best of the
best that we can offer to our kids if we could. They have joy,
peace and love in their little world. Heaven is everything.

The hope of our story is right there. All we could ever want
for our children is waiting for us and for our little ones who are
gone and are already there. In the last chapter of your story,
“He will wipe every tear from your eyes. There will be no more
death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things
has passed away” Revelation 21:4. You will see, hold, and cud-
dle that baby of yours for the rest of your eternal life!
Until then, hold on to moments of comfort. Write the prom-
ise God is speaking to your heart. Find a shoulder to cry on.
Listen to that song over and over. Look at your child’s pictures
and know they look perfect in heaven. Then when heaven is
here, you will behold your child face to face and know he/she
is yours. Take comfort that your child’s embrace will contain
more love then you can imagine.
