"The Lord takes away many, even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man and the sorrows and evils of the world. They are too pure, too lovely, to live on earth. Therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning, we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil and we shall soon have them again."
(Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp.196-197)
"...that the mother who laid her little child, being deprived of the privilege and satisfaction of raising it up to manhood or womanhood would, after the resurrection, have all the joy, satisfaction, and pleasure, and even more than it would have been possible to have in mortality, in seeing her child grow to the full measure of the stature of [her] spirit..."
(as quoted in Gospel Doctrine, p. 454).

Hi Michelle,
I got your email today and read back through your story of losing your sweet Jacob. It breaks my heart every time I hear of it happening again. I am so sorry you have had to experience this, but glad you have had so much love and support from your mom, your husband and your doctor. We are truly lucky to have the knowledge of the Gospel and to know that our sweet babies are waiting for us to raise them up to adulthood. If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to email me, jakeandceleste@gmail.com.
