But I may be able to offer some hope.<br />I recently read a book from the library called "Heaven is for Real", the story of a real 3 year old, Colton Burpo, who went to heaven during an appendix operation. He came back, and his parents had no idea that anything unusual had happened to him. Over the next few months they gradually figured it out by things he said, and answers he gave to their questions.<br />One of the most startling things he said was that he had met his "other sister", a miscarriage his parents had never mentioned in front of him. She was older than him in heaven, and was very happy to see him there. His parents asked what her name was (they hadn't agreed on a name), and he startled them again by saying that she didn't have a name, "You guys didn't name her." They hadn't even known that the child they lost was a girl.<br />Knowing that their "other daughter" was safe in heaven, and adopted by God himself, brought great comfort to Colton's parents. Maybe it would bring comfort to your friends to read this book. In any case, my prayers are with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-78225725826325576972012-02-29T16:23:58.699+11:002012-02-29T16:23:58.699+11:00I have lost twin girls at 32 weeks...

When I get to heaven I am going to ask the LORD why He took them without me even given the chance to say goodbye or see them. It takes a lot of faith to keep believing in a loving God, but really no matter what the reason was, I still would be asking "But why?" The hope that keeps me from going insane with grief even 41 years later, is the knowledge that I will see them in glory. That faith is all I have to keep me going until I go to the children to whom all I could give was a name. I will be praying for your friends..and for their family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-52919797693717327492012-02-28T19:26:32.038+11:002012-02-28T19:26:32.038+11:00Oh wow, how terribly, terribly sad.

I cannot imagine their grief and pain and like you I cannot fathom why their God would do this to them.<br /><br />As Sarah said - ' No one can understand this side of heaven' - what a beautiful thought.<br /><br />My nephew and his wife had 2 beautiful children then lost their next 2 babies mid-term. Time was running out as she has turned 4o years old - then came the news of a new pregnancy. Arlie J was born one just one week ago, pink, healthy and 7lbs.<br />I do hope your friends can have this happiness in their lives. God knows they deserve it.<br /><br />Joolz<br /><br />(I came over from Down to Earth).Joolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490462580345458546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-83008807642223140192012-02-28T13:28:52.030+11:002012-02-28T13:28:52.030+11:00Empty arms.......it tears my heart to read this......Empty arms.......it tears my heart to read this...<br />For anyone that has conceived a child to know that baby is inside them growing, if only for a few weeks, months...uno what, even a few days...and to lose it....it is a feeling you can not describe...I still grieve for a baby lost only months ago...the what if's, the plans, the dreams...my heart goes out to your friends...and may their arms be full one day so their hearts can maybe heal a little....Enchanted Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861732559521175206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649782126359701245.post-79607091725534277412012-02-28T08:43:42.534+11:002012-02-28T08:43:42.534+11:00I am speechless after reading our post.

If I didn't have faith in God I would really be in worst shape. Naturally I will be praying for them. Many things both terrifically bad and things wonderfully miraculous are hard to believe when they happen. .... but they do. No one can understand this side of heaven. I understand your bewilderment. I am so sorry for the loss they have again had to endure. SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
