God’s design is that women would bear children. It also
means that we bear the hormones and the physical loss of our children. Our
bodies go through physical and mental torture.
One time I got really frustrated with Coach. I said what do
you do? Pregnancy only affects my body! (I am sure I screamed those words…) The
distress was evident on his face. He worried immensely about me during our
pregnancies. How can he keep my stress down? What can he do to help? He also
worried when I got sick. Every miscarriage has been accompanied by a cold. He
bared many invisible burdens, burdens I was oblivious to.
Over the summer Coach decided to get a tattoo. (The ribbon is
the pregnancy and infant loss ribbon joined to make a heart. The footsteps
represent our children: one unknown and two girls.) He wanted to get this
tattoo to help carry some of the burden of our loss. What a kind, gentle, loving
soul I married. Blessed be the Lord.
