• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Revelation 21
18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can you just close your eyes and imagine what Heaven will be like. Walls of jasper and precious stones. Gods continual Light shining on us. No more pain or sadness. No more fear or hurt. What a glorious day that will be!!! Just think, our little children that have died are there. They will never have to expierence being sad or hurt or anything. They get to be forever in Gods Glory!!
You know, its sad losing a child, we will see them again though. In this time God wants to use us to help others and share our faith with others who may be hurting.
God is using me, how is He using you???
My prayer is that He uses you and your situation to wittness to thers and encourage others.

God Bless You

mrs todd,
I'm so sorry for your horrible loss. Miscarriage is a really difficult experience. I had one last month. I was shocked. I neverexpected that to happen to me...But I know that it happens. I have 3 other children. I guess it made me grateful for the chance I've had to be a mother to them. But I cried over all the years I will never have with this baby. I felt better knowing that Jesus will love my baby better than I ever could have, that he/she has a perfect home, and that I will someday meet him or her.

I share the pain of losing a child on different levels. I had 2 miscarriages first, then had my son which later lost to cancer at age 3. Then had a healthy daughter, she is 11 now, then had a tubal pregnancy-had to have surgery to remove the baby out of my tube- then I had my healthy son and he is 6 now.
I endured:
2 miscarriages
1 tubal preg.
the loss of my 3 year old son to neuroblastoma (cancer)
Thankfully I am close to God, I have a wonderful marriage and 2 healthy children here with me. I thank God for that and I will keep you all in my prayers. I do have very difficult days and have been diagnosed with ptsd. I refuse medication, I prefer the sunshine, family, friends and God's grace to see me through each day. This Sept 12 will be 10 years since I lost my son to cancer. I miss him so much.
Hugs to you all and God bless.

I wrote this letter about a wek after my miscarriage:

My Dearest Corey,

I only knew you for a few weeks, but in that time I learned to love you and want to see you. Your father and I were so looking forward to holding you in our arms come November, but that isn't going to come. I take comfort in the fact that you are with the wonderful God that I serve, I take comfort in the fact that you are not alone there, you are with your cousin that was to be born around the time that I lost you. I love you so much my dear sweet one. When we found out that you were no longer with us, we were so upset and terrified, confused and angery. I just want you to know that you are loved so much. Soon we will find out what could be answers to our questions, but even if we do not find anything out, just know that you will always be in our hearts.

When we have other children we will tell them about you. You were our first child and therefore our most dearest child. I just wish that time could go backwards and we could have you back with us. I know that that will never be possible so I will just wait until we are reunited in Heaven. I don't know how long that will be but I know that you will be well taken care of. You have lots of family there with you now. And I know that you are going to be watching over your father and me. I am so happy that you are in a wonderful place and I am so pleased that God chose for you to be with him. I don't know what trials and tribulations we are going to go through here on earth, but I know that you will be looking out for us. I will always carry you in my heart and I will always love you. I will never forget about you.

I love you so very much,

Mommy.
