It doesn't get any easier - the Earthly side of grief anyway. When I focus on God, I can accept that loosing my daughter was part of His plan for my life, and I am not afraid to embrace God's plan because I know He has amazing things in store (1 Corinthians 2:9).
But the second I take my eye off of God and think only of myself and my loss, I feel as though I am buried under 1000 tons of sand. My life is overcome by sadness and I question how I can keep going without my daughter.
The only way I have hope is through my faith in the Lord. I know He is in control. God loves me and my family more than I can comprehend. God has our best interests at heart. So I trust Him. ALL of my hope and trust is in Him.
When Earthly ways don't work, I praise God that I have Him to look to. Because as Isaiah 55:8-9 states: God's ways are higher than our ways. That is why He can help us when no one else can.

thank you for your blog and sharing your journey in grief. We have lost two children to stillbirth, both cord accidents at full-term. For some reason this is one of those weeks when the storm seems more than I can bear at times, but finding your words out here was a quiet blessing. I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks for your thoughts on finding a place of peace.
Thank you for this post. I really needed it tonight. I've been having a really tough time the last week or so and your post has reminded me to put my focus on God and his plan for my life. I appreciate you honesty and openness.
