Prayer: Incredibly sad

Postby Ilovebigcats » March 3rd, 2008, 10:50 am

I don't know if any of you follow my blog but I just finished nursing my last child... ever. It is truly bitter sweet. My body needs the break but my heart feels an emptiness. I am good at giving birth and taking care of babies. I feel a sense of loss like Empty Nest... only Empty Breast. LOL! Sad but true. Ben turned 2 this month. I stopped nursing him a few days ago. I nursed him 2 years and 1 week. I am usually filling in this gap with another baby. I really don't know what to do with myself.

cats, I know it feels sad right now, but your journey has only barely begun with your babies, with your life and with Jesus..

:) The best is yet to come!
..I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ took hold of me.

Y'know, the Browns Ferry nuke plant about 10 miles from here shut down one unit for 22 years and restarted last year. What that has to do with you I have no idea, but when I read your post, it just flew into my mind.
Maybe I was thinking TVA ain't got nothin' on you when it comes to producing energy. :lol:

You know I like to pick at you. I can't relate, of course, but I do hope you feel better soon.

I remember that feeling. It was horrible. I thought I would share this with you. (much to the guys chagrin)

Wean Me Gently
by Cathy Cardall

I know I look so big to you,
Maybe I seem too big for the needs I have.
But no matter how big we get,
We still have needs that are important to us.

I know that our relationship is growing and changing,
But I still need you. I need your warmth and closeness,
Especially at the end of the day
When we snuggle up in bed.

Please don't get too busy for us to nurse.
I know you think I can be patient,
Or find something to take the place of a nursing;
A book, a glass of something,
But nothing can take your place when I need you.

Sometimes just cuddling with you,
Having you near me is enough.
I guess I am growing and becoming independent,
But please be there.

This bond we have is so strong and so important to me,
Please don't break it abruptly.
Wean me gently,
Because I am your mother,
And my heart is tender.
There never was a horse that couldn't be rode and there never was a cowboy that couldn't be throwed.
