I've been listening to "Glory Baby" by Watermark a lot these past few days. I love this song because it tells so exactly the tension I have been living in since Eve died -- unspeakably glad that she is with God, whole and complete in Heaven, but devastated that we couldn't have her here in our earthly lives. I am happy for her, but so sad for me. I don't expect that that will ever change.
Every weekend I share a song that has been particularly soothing or healing to me since my daughter, Eve, was stillborn. I call these "sad hope songs," because they are usually melancholy sounding but also full of the beautiful hope that is born out of pain and suffering. To pass a song on to me, please leave your recommendation in the comments.
When I first found out that you lost Eve, I shared the news with a nurse I know, and she showed me this song. I didn't share with you then for it didn't seem the right time, and then I forgot about it. And I am so amazed and glad that Glory Baby found you anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Clare! I don't remember how it found me (ugh grief brain = bad memory), but I'm so glad that it did. And I'm so glad that you're home!!
ReplyDeleteI adore this song. It's what we used for Hannah's video. I remember hearing it years ago and thinking, "Oh, what a sweet song. How horrible it must be to lose a baby." And then we did and the song meant so much more.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!
Love this one too! :)
