"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phillipians 4:6-7
I'm reading a book called "Empty Arms" by Pam Vredevelt. It's hard to read because the first chapter is like reliving everything I went through last week. But the rest of the chapters have helped me undestand a lot about what happened and how to deal with what happened. The greatest comfort I can have it to turn to Christ. A friend gave me this book yesterday and although it may be difficult to read at times, it is comforting to read how other women dealt with their loss. It helps me by that I know I'm not going crazy when I all of sudden burst into tears for no reason and how I feel like eating all of time and just stuffing myself because I hurt so bad. It talks about how I can try to control this and how eating too many unhealthy things just makes my body feel worse. It also talks about how your husband may be dealing with the loss of your child and how you can help each other get through this.
I came across the above verse in the book and it gave me great comfort. May God use this experience in my life so that He may be glorified and so that I may bless others that may have also experienced loss.
