I was reading something online today and came across an article written by John Piper after the loss of his granddaughter at 39 weeks gestation. She apparently died because of an umbilical cord accident. I'll quote part of what he said here: "This seems so preventable. By God and by man. Yes. So easy. But neither man nor God prevented this. Man, because he did not know it was happening. God, because he has his wise and loving reasons that we wait to learn with tears and trust. "
I think that is a beautiful description of how this experience has felt to me: so incomprehensible and preventable and heart-wrenching. That is the place where my faith and trust are tested; in the midst of that which could truly break me, will I believe?
