This journey of motherhood has a way of taking a turn at times that can become an all consuming cycle of pain and regrets if we allow it.

I've been there. I understand the shock, the confusion, the anger and the moments you can't breathe.

But because of the grace of Jesus, I have also experienced the moment when air was allowed back into my lungs and my thoughts became more clear.

My prayer, as you walk through my story and then the added stories of eight different mothers, is that you, my friend, may experience life giving peace that floods your lungs with oxygen and your spirit with hope.
