I suffered a tragedy today
I received some exciting news this weekend that I was going to be a grandmother again. I was thrilled. I have been wanting a second grandchild for a while now. My kids had already picked out the names and It thrilled me to know that the boy's name was after my late husband. They wanted to keep it under raps for a little while but thanks to my granddaughter and me, everyone knows.I told them to forget about the gitls name because it was going to be a boy (a grandmother knows these things).
I went to the doctor myself today for a problem that I have been having and my son was going to call me to see what the doctor had said. Well, he called and immediately knew from the sound of his voice that something was wrong. They lost the baby. I tried to hide my emotions but they eventually came out later after a second call to them. She was in bed resting, so unfortunately, I broke down with my son. I didn't tell him this, but it was like losing my husband all over again. I've cried, listened to the Gaithers on DVD and have tried to stay busy here to keep from continuously crying. I know that God is in control and that this is in his plan. Why,? I'm not to question. I just ask for your prayers for my son and his wife, especially, as this is the second baby that they have lost. I will be ok. God has me by the hand through this valley.

Oh dear Charlotte, I'm so sorry. I know EXACTLY what that feels like. Still grieving over similar news I got from my daughter on December 22
You were so kind to me when I posted about my difficulties. You deserve peace and kindness. I am sending Grandma power your way, and am holding you in a great big hug right now.
Message me anytime! Rhonda
Thank you Rhonda. I thought about you Wednesday night when I found out. I thought, "This is what she was going through." Thank you for your support. By the Way, that was a very good post you made on how you are organized. I enjoyed the read and will try it out for myself. You mention that your use colored pens in your job as an office manager, do you use them in your WA business as well and how do you use them.
This is what is keeping me going right now, staying busy.
Take care

Thanks Charlotte. My thoughts are with you.
I don't use colored pens much in my affiliate marketing business, because I do everything on my computer. All my lists and things are in Word and Excel. I use the highlighting feature within those programs to note certain points, or "cross off" tasks I've done.
I love the use of color, as it makes things more interesting, and I can express my self a little more. Nothing jumps out at you more than a great big PINK "DO THIS NEXT!" on my to do list.
Hope this helps. Keep plugging away, one day at a time.....Rhonda
I am so sorry to hear about this. No words can do anything to help out other than you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. My sister had this happen a few months ago. Her son was born 10 weeks early though and didn't make it. Again so sorry and I hope that you can find some peace in talking about it with us all.
God bless

Thank you it was something that I never want anyone to have to go through ever. It was such a sad event to go to that funeral and be apart of it. But it was also a great experience as I got to help celebrate his very short life. He got baptized and got to be held for a few short days and that made it all worth it in the end. He still was and is a blessing from God for my sister.
God bless you.

Charlotte, it breaks my heart to hear what happened to your family. Loosing a baby must be one of the hardest tragedies to face. Especially when all the planning for the new arrival is taken into account.
In all situations we have to trust in God. He has a reason when bad things happen. That reason will be revealed in good time.
I will most definitely pray for your son and his wife and you too.
God Bless you and your family.

It is such a difficult time for sure. I'm so sorry for you as well as your son & daughter-in-law. You've lost a family member who you loved dearly even before you met them. Now you must grieve. It's part of the process, sadly. Know that your WA family is grieving with you and here to support you through these difficult days. Do you have someone nearby who can go out for coffee or a glass of wine and just pour your heart out? Don't be afraid to reach out and share. It does help. Hugs.
Thank you for your kind words and yes I do have a couple of ladies that I go to church with that I am extremely close to and believe me they have been getting an earful. I went to church today and thanked God for my blessing of my one grandchild. She was so precious to me today with her kisses and hugs as if she knew how much I needed them. God works in mysterious way.
Again thank you for your kind words.
Take care
Charlotte
