Good morning ladies. Im sorry that I missed posting yesterday, but its been kinda crazy around here..
Verse.... "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us/" Romans 8:18 KJV
Thought for the day... God gave his one and only son to die on the cross for our sins. He knows how it feels to lose a child. He knows how we feel.
Dealing with anger..... I found this on a blog and had to share with you ladies. I am in the anger stage myself right now... I hope this helps.
Anger
It may not feel like it, but anger is a very productive stage of the grief process. Anger has the potential to consume you like a runaway train, however. When you lose a baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth or death right after birth you may be angry at many people and/or many things. It is very normal to be angry at medical personnel, your spouse, family members, other pregnant women, even yourself (your body) and God. You may think “Why did this have to happen” or “Why didn’t they do more to save my baby?”.
Many of us are taught that it’s not OK to show and/or outwardly express our anger (especially women). We often tend to suppress it. It is important to recognize your anger, and to have productive outlets to release it. Keeping your anger inside may cause it to build and create other problems for you both emotionally and physically. Here are some things you might consider doing to release your anger. Do whatever works best for you:
Hit or scream into a pillow, throw a ball (soft preferably)
Do some sort of physical activity like jogging, swimming or other exercise (make sure this is OK’d by your doctor first if you decide to do this shortly after your loss). I used to vacuum and pick weeds like crazy!
Have a fit. Cry, scream and/or yell. You can do this in your car or in the privacy of your home. (I used to sit in my car in our garage and let loose.)
Write about your feelings of anger in a journal. Make drawings or pictures of what your anger might look like, tear them up and throw them away (or keep them and throw darts at them- careful with the walls!).
Talk to someone who is understanding about your feelings of anger
Meditate, listen to soothing music, get in touch with your spirituality
In externalizing your anger, you may avoid situations that can be damaging to you or loved ones around you in the long run. If you purposefully express your anger, your grief recovery may be made somewhat easier to bear and you may perhaps begin to feel a greater sense of control over a situation that at times can feel completely out of control.

Poem..... I found this online I hold no rights to this poem..
Our butterfly
Its so hard to say goodbye
to our precious butterfly
so wanted and so loved
our hopes and dreams were fulfilled
but you were taken away so soon
before you go to grow and bloom
mournful tears fill our eyes
we look to God and ask him "Why"
what reasons could there be
to take my joy away from me
its hard to breathe and hard to be
our precious butterfly now flies free
