5 Best Tips to Help Your Marriage Survive the Death of a Child
Marriage After Loss: 5 Best Tips to Help Your Marriage Survive the Death of a Child #marriage #survival Share on X
“We’re not going to make it.” I said aloud, through broken sobs.
I was both shocked and horrified by the words that had escaped my lips, that hopeless September day.
My husband and I believed in the sanctity of marriage.
We took our commitment to our vows seriously— for better or for worse.
Who knew that our worse would come so soon..
Visions of my daughter’s lifeless body, held in the arms of the man I loved, as she took her final breath, played repeatedly in my mind.
Her sudden death wreaked havoc on our family.
The wreckage was massive.
My husband and I loved each other, but neither of us knew how to navigate loss of this magnitude.
Our ability to connect became a major hurdle in our marriage.
We behaved like living zombies— operating the daily tasks of family life, while simply going through the motions.
Devoid of intimacy or joy.
Tension was high, and morale was at an all time low.
It is no secret that many marriages fall apart after such circumstances.
Tragedy, trauma, loss and grief all have a way of shattering lives.
Please join me at Messy Marriage where I am honored to be a guest this week!

Rachel,
As I’ve already expressed over on Beth’s site, this is such a powerful and vulnerable post. I pray your story of great loss continues to help others who are walking through that same dark season. And authentically and bravely telling our story makes us comfort ambassadors.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.” ~2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (ESV)

Thank you for sharing your heart. My husband and I nearly lost our newborn son and then received the diagnosis of Down syndrome. It affected our marriage because we handle things so differently. I have to constantly remind myself that he’s not going to be like me, and that I need to give him grace. Thank you for the timely reminder!

Hi, did you know there are spells to win love back from an ex. I have done it. I love reading about relationships and how to make them work, how to better the relationship, and how to keep the spark alive, even how to talk to them a certain way to get them to think a different way about the situation and you. If you need advice or want to win your ex back, try DR EMU copy and message on the following ( Email: emutemple@gmail.com ) or ( WhatsApp: +2347012841542 ) It will change your mentality and get you what you want.

I want to share my incredible experience with a powerful spell caster Dr Jumba who changed my life. After my lover of five years suddenly left me, I was heartbroken and desperate. Searching for solutions, I found a highly recommended spell caster online. Skeptical but hopeful, I reached out, and he assured me he could help. He performed a love spell, and within a week, my lover started reaching out again. We reconnected and our love reignited stronger than before. It felt like a dream come true. Amazed by his success, I mentioned my dream of winning the lottery. He offered to perform a money spell, and within weeks, I won a substantial amount, achieving financial freedom. The spell caster’s help transformed my life, reuniting me with my lover and granting me financial stability. If you’re facing similar struggles, I highly recommend reaching out to this incredible spell caster. His compassion, understanding, and powerful spells can truly make a difference. Thank you Dr Jumba , for your amazing work. You are a true miracle worker. If you need help you can reach out to him on his email : wiccalovespelltools @ gmail. com
