Every once in a while, a post comes through our community that stops me in my tracks.
A foster mama recently shared about her sweet little one—let’s call him Aiden—who’s been with her since he was just a week old. He’s 20 months now. He’s her joy. And soon, he may be leaving.
Reading her words—about anticipatory grief, exhaustion, the stress of parenting multiple children with high needs, and a marriage stretched thin—I felt the ache that only foster moms truly understand. It’s the ache of loving a child you might lose.
Today I want to speak to that place inside of you—the place that loves fiercely and grieves quietly, that feels both called and completely undone.
