That’s a really dark place. I’m so thankful the comfort God offers is real.

Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry you went through this, but praying that your husband remains cancer-free!

Even though we had to adapt how frequently we had sex, how strenuous it was, and a couple other things, we made sure it happened as often as he was able. For the most part, that was a sad time in our lives, both of us were mourning a lot of things that the cancer had taken from us, individually and as a couple. Love-making was a huge comfort and bond for us during his illness and treatment. It was a time we could interact and touch as husband and wife, not as patient and caregiver. It was a time neither of us had to think about cancer, if only for awhile. It was some normalcy in the midst of insanity. It comforted us both to know that even as cancer and treatment ravaged his body, I still desired him sexually, and even as he was exhausted, he still desired me. Thank God our mourning was turned into a different kind of comfort when his most recent PET scan came back cancer-free, much to the shock of his oncologist and the rest of his team.

Oh, Shelly. I’m so saddened about your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. May you be filled with comfort!

We knew from 11 weeks into the pregnancy that we probably wouldn’t have him long. He had trisomy 18, a chromosomal abnormality that’s very uncommon. We were strongly advised to terminate but I carried him to 36 weeks and we had 2 short hours to love on him with our 3 other kids, ages 15, 17, and 19.
From just a few weeks after we lost him lovemaking has been one of my greatest sources of comfort. It takes away the pain for just a little bit. I’m 41 and while we were so very excited about this sweet surprise, we won’t have any more children. It’s just too risky no matter how much my arms ache for my little boy. But I’m so thankful God has provided this comfort for us both.

(And J you’re right that my sweet Nathan and any other baby can never ever be replaced.)
