And yet . . . knowing the soul endures helps us to endure . . . and wait.
Remember the Cobles, who tragically lost their three young children in a car accident. In their grief, the parents could hardly imagine that their tears of anguish would fall upon the soil of mercy to sprout new life in an amazing way.

They should tell you that it hurts. That your body goes into labor to get it out. They should tell you not to look. Not to hold a wadded up piece of toilet paper with your son or daughter's gelatinous form in clumps, because it will fuck you up.
They should tell you that life goes on. Our baby still needs bottles, food, diaper changes, hugs, smiles, kisses. The laundry still needs to be done. The dishes still need to be washed. His first birthday party needs to be planned for next week.
And then I think, with half a bitter laugh, how so far, all the Ryans have been born in November. And now I'm crying again.
Words are nothing, but I hope you know there are strangers on this planet who care for you and are here to share your pain. We're thinking about you Wench.
