Losing Ellie Paige and our other two babies in the 3 years and 9 months we have been married has been absolutely heartbreaking. We have taken the loss of Ellie Paige the hardest because we were able to bond with her for 22 weeks. We gave her a name and made a nursery for her. We held her and counted her fingers and toes. Nothing makes sense now that she is gone but I have been able to find comfort and hope in verses and passages in the bible. So today I decided to share some of these verses with you in hopes that they may help give you peace with whatever you are struggling with in life.
