What mother wouldn't feel FURIOUS, angry, and completely overwhelmed by the loss of her child?<br /><br />Just feel whatever is there for you and ask for whatever help you need. You have a whole community of people ready to help you, but short of bringing Logan back, anything we can actually do for you seems woefully inadequate.Susan Dunneganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15129049965698021538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479229652117151526.post-1020778179144385532012-04-14T00:26:17.378-07:002012-04-14T00:26:17.378-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Susan Dunneganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15129049965698021538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479229652117151526.post-37034336970858744882012-04-14T00:20:37.934-07:002012-04-14T00:20:37.934-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Susan Dunneganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15129049965698021538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479229652117151526.post-75702451869613413252012-04-13T22:25:40.063-07:002012-04-13T22:25:40.063-07:00Oh Sherry, I wish there were words.

You have every reason to feel anger....Dear Sherry,<br /><br />You have every reason to feel anger. Just like Marilisa said above, anger isn't wrong, it's the ugly things we may do in anger that are.<br /><br />I know it feels unfair. I've never lost one of my own children, but I've seen a baby without breath and my attempts to revive him did not work. I couldn't understand God - and still don't completely - in that situation.<br /><br />But the anger. The anger was natural, but I let it go too far. And though the situation itself had already broken me, the things I did in anger broke my whole family.<br /><br />You aren't wrong to feel this. This is something, a stage of grief, that will eventually fade and move you into another stage of healing. Just please, hold onto the fact, the truth, that your boy is indeed okay. He is more than okay. He is fully restored and healed - just not the way you wanted. But I promise you, he is in God's presence, and wouldn't want to wait for you anywhere else.<br /><br />God loves you so much... He didn't take Logan away from you - He welcomed him home when his earthly body couldn't fight any longer.<br /><br />I am so sorry for the hole in your life. I don't know you at all, but I love you.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />JennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479229652117151526.post-82907119299590905602012-04-13T09:36:58.805-07:002012-04-13T09:36:58.805-07:00Sherry, I think Our Blessed Mother knows exactly h...Sherry, I think Our Blessed Mother knows exactly how you feel. And God has big enough shoulders for all your feelings. We're not told that anger is sinful itself, just the ugly deeds we may commit while angry. <br /><br />I didn't lose a child, but I lost two nearly-term babies. I know that frustration, grief, pain and anger. For a long time, going to church (or anywhere where pregnant women and babies would be) was agonizing. I was bitter, jealous and blamed myself for losing the babies. I felt life wasn't worth living (and I had four other kids). I had to work through temptations to check out.<br /><br />I realize now that those were normal, healthy, God-given emotions, sent not to tempt me (as we know God doesn't do) but to strengthen me. And it has. It was also my mind's way (designed by God) of protecting myself from complete despair. <br /><br />I say process your feelings. Work through them. Journal. Rage at the universe. Don't shut your feelings out. They're your gift from God, to heal. For some reason, writing poetry and playing loud music helps me. Do whatever you need to do. Nourish your mind, body and soul. Let your husband and kids grieve as they need to. God will be right there, grieving with you. Just my thoughts. I think of you very often and lift you up. love, marMarilisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153163314905846386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479229652117151526.post-37586714652875557562012-04-13T09:15:37.952-07:002012-04-13T09:15:37.952-07:00I probably would be going through the same thing S...I probably would be going through the same thing Sherry. xxoo Even Job in the bible had very honest conversations with God.
