I Love My Shepherd 16 – Written in Iron Ink: Infant Loss

Special Guests – Rev. Geoffrey and Genevieve Wagner

In Memory of Sebastian

2 Samuel 12:15-23

Who pastors the pastor and his family when they are in need?

find a Father Confessor to be able to receive Christ's words of forgiveness from

also find fellow pastors and people who will share the Word of Hope with you in trial

pastor's wives and children also need people in the Body of Christ to support them

Helping your children process -

Older children giving space to be verbal and share

Younger children process through play

Grief and loss in your marriage -

spouses will process differently

people usually process in relation to their personality – internally process v externally process

being tender toward the way your spouse processes grief differently than you

Treasuring things in our hearts -

Luke 2:19

let your family know you are collecting up and valuing what they are saying and sharing as part of this experience

Impact of experience on others

the loss of broken expectations

the value of the support of the Body of Christ, the congregation and those in ministry around you

know that everyone around you has their own story of loss and we all process differently

Impact on the ministry

Satan likes darkness, so he likes struggle hidden

when we reveal our struggle to others, people come out of the woodwork with their own

death is real and imminent, but eternity is for us as believers also

the Gospel promise is heard in the womb

Don't hide your joy from those struggling or from those experiencing loss

Grief is an individual process, no judgement please!
