On July 18th, 2013 we found out that our second child had died a week before his due date. This came as a complete shock.
I had a completely normal pregnancy, no warning signs, and autopsy results gave no clues as to why he died. We still don’t have an answer to why but thankfully, with grace, I have come to peace with that.
Two days later, on July 20th 2013, I delivered him. We named him James and spent that afternoon soaking in the small amount of precious time we were able to hold and love him in our arms.
Writing became my therapy and you will find that many posts reference losing James and the monumental effect that had in my life.
Here are some of my favorite posts about him:
