Dear Todd and Kathryn, my thoughts and prayers have been with you since I read this post. I wish I would've commented sooner. I pray that our God of grace has brought you his comfort and peace during these difficult weeks and may he keep you close to his heart.

I'm so sorry for your loss and the mass of conflicting emotions that accompany it. I understand Kathryn's anxiety — I am working right now not to assume that events that have caused me to fall off an emotional precipice will necessarily always have the same effect in the future. It is hard to do.

God be with you.

My prayer rise up before our heavenly Father on behalf of your wife, your family and you. The grace, mercy and peace of God, through Jesus Christ, be with you.

I lost a baby (and yes, "it" was a baby even though we were so very early into the pregnancy that many women would have just been suspecting they were pregnant) on Ash Wednesday, 2001.

You never forget. Ever. But the immediacy of the hurt does fade.

The Lord comfort you and your wife until you hold that sweet child in the presence of our Lord.

I'm sorry for the loss of your child. We, too, lost a baby at about 10.5 weeks in August. I rejoice that our Lord entrusted that child to my care as long as He did, and I look forward to meeting that baby (and another) one day in heaven. My prayer has been a constant, "I don't understand – I probably won't ever understand… but I don't have to. Be with us in our sorrow." I pray the same for you and your family.

Thank you for your courage and leadership and for sharing your journey with us. When I go out to congregations to talk about MH issues, I tell folks that 100% of us have issues. Just as all of us have physical health issues, it is a matter of degrees. As Martin Luther says, join the fellowship stay in community for recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with you

Having had one 8 week little one go to heaven all too soon, too, I must send my condolences to you and your family. God be with you as you grieve, and may your comfort come from the promise that God will never leave you nor forsake you (Deut. 31:6) in your time of need.
