I too have felt many of the same things. When we lost our 8 week old and then a few months later our precious foster daughter went to live back with her mom, every little thing set me off. I don't know why I continued to wear makeup because it rarely stayed on. I am still grieving. I am still angry and confused. I still fumble for words to express what I was and am feeling. I feel fear in such a real, untainted way. I am a mess in the hopes of healing. I love you my friend.

I didnt want to at first and found that my anger was gratifying, then i got tired and just quit. Went through the motions and just did was i was supposed to do. Then i ran into a friend from before. She didnt know any of the things i had gone through so she didnt feel the need to be sensitive. She told me i had changed, that i looked tired. It hurt, bad. But it caused me to be objective. To look at myself the way everyone else saw me. I needed to forgive, and i needed to be joyful. I still struggle so much, i even just lost my temper this morning. But the great thing about God is that he still loves me. And he will give me peace and joy when i am grateful for what he has given me instead of focusing so much on my babies that he for better words took away. I will be praying for you, for this helplessness to melt away, and for the joy to return. It is a long road but it does get better. Our Creator is great and wonderful, and while we dont understand there is rest with him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6922698531353636335.post-33512917462568287092012-03-13T10:56:06.085-07:002012-03-13T10:56:06.085-07:00You truly do have an amazing gift of putting onto ...You truly do have an amazing gift of putting onto paper what you are feeling, and expressing so well how we all feel.

Something we do not want to carry. But God in his goodness will allow us to be real to a world that is hurting. Because we have suffered, we like Christ, can understand the pain that others feel. In the long run you will be able to touch others with healing. His word will help bring that healing to you now. His word's are true. May you find comfort under the shadow of His wings.<br /><br />Aunt RobinMy Robin's Nesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08847520771049211573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6922698531353636335.post-75017299601956560852012-03-13T06:12:10.580-07:002012-03-13T06:12:10.580-07:00I know it may seem like you are alone, but you, yo...I know it may seem like you are alone, but you, your husband and daughter are surrounded in love and wrapped in layers of prayers of strength, healing, and peace.
