January 20, 2017 at 6:37 amOur first baby’s life: November 18, 2016 to January 18, 2017 (possibly one week earlier.)
We prayed for you for over a year, we knew God would place you into our life. Upon our discovery of the two lines on a thin piece of of paper, my brain exploded with what we need to do in our house. My heart filled with joy and my eyes flooded with tears, I grabbed your mother and kissed her. The celebration was instant and continued to grow every second we drew closer to your due date (August 25, 2017)
We told your grandparents on Christmas and New Year. The items in our house grew and grew with my new found shopping addiction to make sure you had the best stuff ready for your arrival.
Then the pain came, the spotting, the cramps, the “not feeling pregnant anymore.” I feared for only a moment and then remembered that God was in control and He loves us, and He would never let anything happen to our baby. The hormone levels were high, the feelings of pregnant nausea started back up, and we were sure you were fine.
We walked into the office, we were going to see and listen to your heartbeat. Take your first measurements, see your little form. The nurse said nothing to us, there was no “here’s your heartbeat, here’s your baby” she left quickly. We waited patiently for the joyous return to hear you are doing great, you are healthy, you are growing. We were greeted by “your baby died last week.” The shock, the pain, the doubt, the fear, the emotions, the denial. We didn’t come here to hear that, we did not come here to feel this. We came to check on you, just as if you were already in your crib sleeping.
My child, how naïve I was to think you were ours, God wanted you and He took you to be with Him. I rest in knowing that one day, I will be with you in heaven, glorifying our heavenly Father together. I am so thankful the first voice you heard and the first thing you opened your eyes to was our Father, who loves you more than I ever could.
I love you my child and I wish so very much I could have held you one time, kissed you one time, and told you that I am proud of you. You are with your mother and I always. We’ll see you soon.
Please pray for my wife Karissa and I. My heart is breaking and I am leaning on Christ with every breath I take, but the pain is still here. My wife is going through the miscarriage right now, pray she is able to go through this without issues and we are able to grieve together, grow together and seek Christ more and more.

January 20, 2017 at 1:35 pmMy Brother Tim and Sister Karissa,
I mourn with you on the loss of your beautiful baby. I too lost my baby ( 4th and final) in July 2015. Went for 1st doctor appointment at 10 weeks and the lady that was checking the heartbeat was very nice ( a muslim woman) . I did not for some reason understand why she left the room. When she came back she was accompanied by another senior nurse and they gave me the worst news of my life.
Just like you, I was in TOTAL denial. I refused to believe, had a 2nd ultra sound and the results were the same. My husband and I mourned for our Angel ( that is the name we gave the baby) .
God gave me the following assuarance
1. Your baby is with me and under the Best care
2. Your baby longs to have you here so keep walking the narrow path that leads to Eternal life
3.Do not blame yourself on the loss of your baby
4.Your baby will be among those who will receive you when you come into my KingdomThe assurance above gave me so much hope. We are still humans though so sometimes we cried a lot BUT GOD!!! Is so Faithful my Brethren! He sees every tear! He knows your Pain! He will give you your hearts desires. He has healed our pain!
As you mourn please remember your precious beautiful baby is under the BEST Angelic care. You baby will never get a bruise. He or she will be FLAWLESS! Your baby is in heaven and looks forward to seeing you one day, so please make baby proud by walking on this journey with Christ and have the assurance that one day you will see baby.
I pray right now that the Lord will in his GREAT mercy bless you with other babies in the name of Jesus!
I plead the Blood of Jesus over your marriage, and I know that you both will get closer and stronger! Love one another and by no means think that you caused this. The Lord wanted your baby in Heaven 1st so be assured the way has been made for you to one day be re-united to baby.
I believe strongly in my heart that the Lord will bless you with other babies.
Much Love from me.God bless you!!

January 20, 2017 at 5:52 pmI am so sorry for you. This is happened for me and my husband in early 2005 for our first baby. I am very sad and don’t know what to do. But God gives us another precious baby girl in August 2006. She is beautiful, healthy and cute. I think she will be all we have but God gives us another beautiful girl in August 2008. Now we have two girls. One is 10 years old and one is 8 years old. They are baptized in August 2016. My husband and I are so happy for them. God is too good for our imagination. His blessing is too many to count and keep coming everyday. I still don’t know His plan for us but I believe in Him. I am sure He has beautiful plan for your family too. I will pray for another baby for your family.
English is my second language and I don’t know if you understand my writing. However I love, believe and trust God and He is a good good father.

January 20, 2017 at 10:18 pmI am praying for you and your family, trust in God, put your faith in HIS power, He loves you. Here are some bible verses that will hopefully help in this time of suffering and fear. Cast all your fear and worry on GOD, have hope :
Romans 5New International Version (NIV)Peace and Hope
5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.jtylerk9Prayers: 1512Requests: 7

January 23, 2017 at 12:10 amDear Tim,
Thank you for being willing to share such personal, exquisite pain. My heart goes out to you and your wife Karissa in this depth of loss and sadness! I pray that God pours out love and protection for you both and drives you together to grieve, lean on each other and grow in faith. I offer you this scripture which has comforted me in times of loss . The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalms 34:18nunez_leeannePrayers: 3Requests: 5
February 1, 2017 at 4:06 amDear Tim and Karissa, I am so sorry for your loss. It’s very good that you are reaching out to a community of believers that can hold you up in prayer right now. Words cannot express the pain of what loosing a child feels like. My husband and I have unfortunately had 5 kids in total, only 2 living. We lost our first born son (as a still born pregnancy which means he was alive until a week before his due date, and had no heartbeat when he was delievered). We had two miscarrages after that. We have two beautiful, healthy children who we are very blessed to have. I know the road is lonely, painful, and uncertain at times. There are so many emotions that come with grief. God understands them all. Our hearts felt ripped out of our chests, and the pain and heartbreak we’ve endured makes us long for God’s kingdom to come now and bring us home. God will make everything right, there will be no more sadness, tears, or pain in heaven. We will be forever with God and our loved ones. Remember in the New Testament where it talks about grieving not like the world with no hope, but the hope we have in seeing our loved ones again in Christ.
I like to think of our kids safe with Jesus, and that gives me great peace. Even though, not a day goes by I don’t wonder why we have this experience to share and how God could allow us to feel so much pain on earth.
Keep focused on Jesus, love one another, never blame each other, keep reaching out and finding those who can walk with you, pray, and listen in this time. Don’t give up. Feel free to email me anytime. My prayers are with you. Take one day at a time. nunez_leeanne@yahoo.comsoundyaaPrayers: 3085Requests: 12
