NEWS: Ted DiBiase Jr. & Wife Kristen Lose Their Child During Pregnancy

NEWS: Tragic news to report here. Former WWE star Ted DiBiase, Jr. and his wife Kristen have lost their unborn child during Kristen's pregnancy. Their baby boy, who was to be named Jack, passed away this past October 21st. Obviously the family is grieving their loss and during their trial Kristen found time to post this powerful message via her personal Facebook account:

"Warning: long, indulgent post ahead. If you're just here for cute pictures, you may want to keep scrolling. Many of you know, Teddy and I lost a precious baby boy on oct 21 at 26 weeks pregnant. It has been devastating, heart breaking and life changing to say the least. I don't know why this happened to me and I won't spend all my energy on figuring that out either. But what I do know is what I'...m going to do BECAUSE it happened to me. I'm going to love people and hope they see Jesus through that love. I'm going to serve people and hope they see Jesus through that service. I'm going to pray for people and hope they feel Jesus through those prayers. I'm going to die to self and take up my cross and follow this crazy Jesus guy because he is worth it. Because I've tasted and seen that The Lord is GOOD. Not just because I've been "blessed" way beyond what I deserve, for which I am incredibly thankful for every blessing. But because he is just flat out GOOD and worth all the glory this little child of His can display. Because I've walked through gut wrenching loss that doesn't make sense and all I can tell you on the other side of it is HE IS GOOD. My heart HURTS, please hear me, but if He can be glorified through my suffering so be it (This is a risky thing to say, I realize this). He is good not just because of the amazing husband I have or the best 3 year old that has ever lived or the family and friends that have literally held me up the past 6 weeks and walked this out with me because all of that can be taken away in a breath- but because the same God of the universe that told the oceans where to stop ADORES me. And loved me enough to send His son to take on the sins of the world and died and y'all- HE ROSE. What?! Can we all just get over ourselves for a minute and think about what this means? HE LIVES and we get to live with Him. We get to walk through this broken, busted up, upside down world with a Hope. A Hope that this is not all there is for us. I'm a work in progress, I am taking one day at a time. I'm learning so much and yet unlearning so much at the same time. To say teddy and I have been through some rough patches these last two years is an understatement. I won't air our dirty laundry out here, but I was pretty certain I had been pruned, molded, and shaped enough. Boy was I wrong. And through all of this, I am totally on James' level when he talks about taking joy in your trials (James 1:2-4). If it hadn't been for the hard times leading up to now I don't think I would've been as prepared as I was for this. And as scary as it is, this may not be the hardest thing I'll have to walk through. This may be preparing me for something even harder. But I'm learning to be ok with that. I hope you don't have to walk through a fire like we have but I can tell you that Jesus is so so sweet when you hand it all to Him and lay it at His feet. Megan Mascagni said something to me yesterday that I have not stopped thinking about- she said He trusted us with these trials. That's a hard pill to swallow. But it got me thinking- He trusted me enough to break my heart because He knew I could go to Him to put it back together. He's trusted me with this deep pain and I won't let it be for nothing, He's about something here and I'm seeing His beauty one step at a time. He's waiting arms open through our good and bad. He wants us. We need Him. How good is that?"
