Thank you guys for all the prayers, the support, and the messages! I will definitely do my best to respond to all of the private messages eventually. We were able to stay with Haven all day yesterday as the hospital provided a cooling bed for her body to still be preserved. We had a wonderful photographer and took lots of photos and some videos of as much as we could, including Havens little hands/feet. We wanted to preserve these little moments. We also were able to get a couple ink hand/feet prints, a 3d ornament of her hands, and a 3d mold of her feet. It was the hardest moments to say goodbye to her physical body before we left, but I reminded Sarah that this is Havens physical temple. But even though her body leaves us, she is still a part of us and spiritually in the best place anyone could ask for. We have had some incredible support and will be connecting with a grief counselor together too. We want to also document the postpartum process a little bit just to help other couples out in dealing with something like this, especially from a guys perspective and how we as men need to heavily rely on the Lord mixed with practical habits to provide strength for not only our wives, but also our own mental health. There’s a lot of things we have learned throughout this journey and will definitely share later on as time unfolds because we genuinely want it to help other couples. But I also don’t want to consistently post only emotional content especially considering my way of processing is actually through keeping busy with diy projects, the gym, and humor. So I will still be posting that kind of content again sometime next week, and of course, Sarah still needs a home office so she can work towards being a stay at home mom/wife so I will be continuing that series. Thank you again everyone. We appreciate you! Feel free to ask any questions, we will do our best to respond in due time. We don’t want to feel like this part of our lives has to be kept in shame or hidden because that’s what the enemy wants.
