Experiencing grief that leads to hope

Many of you know our best friends, Tom & Danae Hudzina. One of Tom's sisters just lost her 5 month old son yesterday. Jenn wrote this on Facebook yesterday, "November 2, 2012 at 8:21pm, our son, Roman Troy Bussetti, Jr. went to be with his father in Heaven. Baby Roro, well done good and faithful servent, your work on earth is done. Praise God!
Tonight, as our son prepares to give the gift of his heart, somewhere locally, a baby girl prepares to receive it. This miracle we were praying for, the Lord did it.
Sweet Roman, we will see you again but will miss you until that day.
As we give all the glory to God, great things he has done."

Jenn & Roman

Jenn and Roman found Roman Jr. in his crib on Saturday not breathing. He's what Danae (Jenn's sister-in-law) wrote, " He was found in his crib yesterday blue and not breathing after he'd been napping too long. He is currently at CHOP, in a comma and non-responsive. Pray for a miracle and that he would come through this!"

Jenn & Roman decided to do a study that they've been doing at CHOP for 2 year where they chill the baby's body and sedate him. After 48 hours they slowly warm up his body and take him off the meds. Roman was somewhat responsive, but he didn't totally come through.

My heart has been so heavy and affected by all of this. I prayed in faith with them that God could do a miracle and heal Roman fully. I had such hope that God could do it. Instead of all of this causing me to be mad at God for not being able to understand His reasoning, it has pushed me in a different direction. 

After I read Jenn's post last night I sat and cried so hard. I couldn't imagine going through this and how hard this must be for her. However, her perspective is what's pushed me in that different direction. (I know that the hundreds of people praying for them has helped her through this.)

I was blown away at Jenn's selflessness to give her dead sons heart to a baby girl, in order to give this girl life and her family hope. I know that is a decision almost all parents would absolutely want to do, but with faced with actually making that decision, could you follow through?

I was also moved by her eternal perspective. She knows and trusts that this life isn't all there is! She has hope in a loving God that will eventually restore ALL things to perfection, and death and destruction will be no more! Sin will no longer have a grip! It has really moved my thinking past this world. Think about this; what if this world was all their was. That thought is UTTERLY depressing. There is so much hardship and sorrow in this life that overcomes the joyful and happy times. Thankfully there is going to be a new Heavens and a new earth we can look forward to. Thankfully all things will be perfect one day. Praise be to God.
