A year ago, I couldn’t imagine making it through one full year mothering my babies from heaven. The waves of grief felt endless, and every reminder of what I lost felt like too much.
But here I am, more than 365 days later, still standing. Still loving. Still healing.
This past week marked Reign and Sovereign’s 1st birthday week & crazy enough two of my closest friends gave birth this year during that week. A year ago, I would’ve crumbled. I did not handle their pregnancy announcements well. I felt hurt, betrayed, angry, triggered, jealous, you name it… I felt it. But God gave me a peace that truly surpasses understanding when their babies were born. Instead of bitterness, I felt joy. Instead of comparison, I felt compassion.
Now, our twins get to share a birthday week with their two cousins on earth—and somehow, that feels like a beautiful full circle moment.
This grief journey is not easy, but growth like this… that’s a win.
