As I read Chapter 3, I came across the story of Eliza Partridge Lyman, who gave birth to a baby in a wagon on the plains in the heat of July. Later that winter, her baby died. I drew strength and courage from her story. I could certainly shoulder this burden of mine, which suddenly seemed bearable. I was so grateful for this new perspective, and I prayed and cried with gratitude. My baby was born almost 2 weeks late, which was a blessing, and a month later all my children were well. It was still a very difficult time, but I felt the love and encouragement of my sisters, here now, and those who had gone before.
What a great resource this is!
