The Due Date

Today was Deb’s original due date with Jacob. That is a tough fact to absorb given all that we have been through and for so long now. Today, we resist the temptation of wondering what might have been, and instead try to focus on what was, and is to come. Or, shall I say “who is and was and is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

And there’s the rub. One of the struggles with grief is spending too much time looking back. These milestones can hinder the progression because they cause one to pause and reflect; sometimes providing a punch to the gut just as the healing was taking shape. And yet, I won’t give up reflecting just yet. Our goal is to find that sweet spot of positively remembering our precious little boy while at the same time avoiding the mire – instead using the experience for good.
