Hannah, this is beautifully written. I know intimately the grief of hopes being dashed month after month each time your period comes, and the pain of an ER visit to confirm that, indeed, the pregnancy is no more. I also know that advice and the well meaning, "it will happen at the right time" sentiments don't actually help. Just know - I see you and your pain, and far more importantly, God does too. This part of the story won't be wasted. :)
Thank you so much for that encouragement, Baylee! It is such a strange thing to have a deadline each month where you'll know if your prayer for a baby will be answered or not. Not many other situations have a repeating timeline like that. Anyways, thanks for sharing truth. I will continue to pray and trust that he sees, hears, and loves me.
Hannah, I feel all of this so deeply. Reading this essay is like breathing a poem, like saying a prayer, like finding myself in your words. You understand the pain of unanswered prayers and still believe that he is worthy. Thank you for giving voice to this.
