Acknowledge Hidden
Grief
Day 229
Hidden losses-miscarriages, abortions, stillbirths-bring
deep grief that can be difficult to move forward from. You may feel that those
around you are reacting far too tightly to this loss. You may even try to hide
your grief, unsure of it.
Your grief is real and justified. Despite what others are
thinking or saying to you, you must give yourself permission to grieve. The
Bible holds all human life to be equally valuable-from the womb to the final
seconds of life and beyond.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my
mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your
works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of
the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were
written in your book before one of them came to be.” (Psalm 139:13-16).
Creator God, my pain
is deep, and I hide it from others. But, Lord, I acknowledge this grief to You,
and I pray for healing on my journey. Amen.
