i know many of you have been through this, so i wanted to ask for prayers for a friend who is losing her first baby right now. it is her first pregnancy and she and her husband are just heartbroken. my husband and i too lost our first baby and it is just a deep, dark grief that one must walk through. theres no way around it. pray for comfort, and for others to be sensitive. sometimes people say the worst things at these times.

I wanted to share a prayer written by Mother Angelica. I've had 3 miscarriages, and they still hurt! I put it up on my sidebar.
Prayer of Those Suffering Miscarriage
My Lord, the baby is dead! Why, my Lord—dare I ask why? It will not hear the whisper of the wind or see the beauty of its parents’ face—it will not see the beauty of Your creation or the flame of a sunrise. Why, my Lord?
“Why, My child—do you ask ‘why’? Well, I will tell you why.
You see, the child lives. Instead of the wind he hears the sound of angels singing before My throne.
Instead of the beauty that passes he sees everlasting Beauty—he sees My face.
He was created and lived a short time so the image of his parents imprinted on his face may stand before Me as their personal intercessor.
He knows secrets of heaven unknown to men on earth. He laughs with a special joy that only the innocent possess.
My ways are not the ways of man. I create for My Kingdom and each creature fills a place in that Kingdom that could not be filled by another.
He was created for My joy and his parents’ merits. He has never seen pain or sin. He has never felt hunger or pain. I breathed a soul into a seed, made it grow and called it forth.”
I am humbled before you, my Lord, for questioning Your wisdom, goodness, and love. I speak as a fool—forgive me. I acknowledge Your sovereign rights over life and death. I thank You for the life that began for so short a time to enjoy so long an Eternity.
-- Mother M. Angelica

We lost our third, and it was so painful. I can only imagine losing a first. Praying for them, Monica!

Praying for your friend Monica.
I didn't lose my first either but have lost 5 babies at different stages of life and it is something that was only lightened by prayers for Our heavenly Mother's love and desperate dependence on the Lord.
God Bless
