Stephen Ryan Zempel was born on June 7th, weighing only 7.8 oz. He was perfect and beautiful and we buried him next to his sister.
Right now, we are all grieving. Probably me, most of all. The tears come often, the questions are even more frequent. I don't understand why God chose to send us through this grief again. I don't know what to do with this hole in our family that didn't exist 5 months ago. Fear and worry threaten to overtake me at times and I'm devouring all I can find and read on grief. This time seems to be even harder than losing our baby girl. I think it is because we are mourning both now.
I don't know what this blog will look like over the coming weeks and months. I don't know if I will share more of my grief or if it will remain silent as I grieve. I guess you'll have to wait and see. I guess I will, too.

Hey, friend. Have you read "A Path Through Suffering" by Elisabeth Elliot? It's one of my favorite books of all time. It's beautiful and I think you'd love it.
No I haven't, Gret, but I will add it to my list of books to read. I'm working on 2 right now, then CS Lewis' "A Grief Observed" is next, then I'll look for your recommendation.
