Trusting Him Through the Tears

April 13, 2018 / Kim Nolywaika / Leave a comment

Guest Post by Missy Hinton My friend Missy Hinton shares with us today the reason for her hope. She reminds us we can trust what God says simply because it is He Who said it.  The Truth of God's Word is not in any way altered by our circumstances or by what we are feeling. … Continue reading Trusting Him Through the Tears

But God Got His Son Back

March 20, 2018March 21, 2018 / Kim Nolywaika / 4 Comments

Some among the bereaved feel that, because Jesus rose from the dead, God the Father did not experience the grief one associates with child loss or that the death of His Son, Jesus, was easier for Him because of His foreknowledge of the Resurrection. Was God’s pain less than mine? It humbles me to think … Continue reading But God Got His Son Back

Forgetting

March 12, 2018April 7, 2018 / Kim Nolywaika / 9 Comments

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; Isaiah 49:15-16 There are things about Hans I will never forget for as long as … Continue reading Forgetting

Why?

March 6, 2018March 6, 2018 / Kim Nolywaika / 8 Comments

Why?... Yes, there is sin in the world, and death and suffering, and so it will be until Jesus comes back. But Why me? many want to know. Why my child? The answer to that question is far too complex for us to understand. I do not think, in any loss, the answer could be simple, … Continue reading Why?

The Death of Children | George Mylne, 1871

February 21, 2018 / Kim Nolywaika / 6 Comments

Have you lost a child? Whether son or daughter, infant or of riper years, it is much the same — in any case, a portion of yourself is gone. How sharp the visitation! How short its work! The grave has opened and has closed again; yet closed it not before it received its tenant — … Continue reading The Death of Children | George Mylne, 1871

Re-Post: What Is This Thing Called Faith?

January 23, 2018January 13, 2018 / Kim Nolywaika / 2 Comments

Faith must have as its object something bigger than self.  Bigger than anyone or anything.  Faith must trust in something bigger than death. There is no point in having a lot of faith in something little. Click here to read the whole thing.

Re-Post: Trust God?! Why Should I?

January 17, 2018January 13, 2018 / Kim Nolywaika / 4 Comments

In the wake of child loss, it seems many parents, even believing parents, find their trust in God has been severely shaken.  They may become angry at God.  Or, they hold themselves at a distance from Him.  They are reserved in their relationship with Him.  They may stop praying or attending church.  They open the … Continue reading Re-Post: Trust God?! Why Should I?

Why?

Why? We want to know...why? Yes, there is sin in the world, and death and suffering, and so it will be until Jesus comes back. But why me? we ask. Why my child? The answer to that question is far too complex for us to understand. I do not think, in any loss, the answer … Continue reading Why?

Revised Post: Racket

September 3, 2017December 9, 2017 / Kim Nolywaika / 8 Comments

Originally published September 28, 2016 This summer, our first without Hans, has been like no other. In addition to Hans being gone, the rest of the family have been away from home for much of the summer work season. And it is very quiet. One of the first things that struck me after Hans went … Continue reading Revised Post: Racket

Survival is the Starting Point

August 9, 2017January 29, 2018 / Kim Nolywaika / 4 Comments

  Initially, the pain of child loss is so severe, that it is easy to wonder if it is survivable.  Many women say they know, if it happened to them, they could not survive it. I want to tell them:  Yes, you can.  If I can, you can. We just have to. But here is … Continue reading Survival is the Starting Point

Revised Post: Tenacious

July 24, 2017July 24, 2017 / Kim Nolywaika / Leave a comment

Originally published September 30, 2016 "The grass seed sprouted into a neat and tidy patch of lawn; the rose bush limped along through the rest of summer, fall, and then winter. Then January.  And a car crash.  And our Hans was gone." Read the entire post here.

Revised Post: Called

June 26, 2017December 9, 2017 / Kim Nolywaika / 4 Comments

"I do not believe in accidents. If I thought the crash was “just an accident”, a freak chance event, I might just lose myself in despair, in the pointlessness of it.   It would take an impossible amount of faith for me to believe the crash was an accident.  The precision of the timing and logistics … Continue reading Revised Post: Called
