For the mother grieving from miscarriage…

 Over the years since we lost our little June, I’ve had so many mamas reach out asking about my personal experience with miscarriage. I’ve been very open with it all in hopes that my pain can be a comfort to other women experiencing the same heartbreak. Knowing you aren’t  alone is so important. 

When I was going through my own loss, I was searching the internet for stories of other women who had gone through it. I needed to know that I’d survive this because it was all consuming and breaking my heart to pieces I never even knew existed until that moment. The few stories I could find were filled with fear, trauma, and hopelessness. But what I knew about the Lord was that He was present IN suffering and that He promises to never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5) … so I knew deep in my soul that my experience could be different. I knew that hope was to be found, that God was with me and that the story being written would be laced with healing and redemption, even if I couldn’t see it yet. And I committed in my heart that I would tell my story out loud in the hopes that it would find the right mothers in their grief to offer hope, encouragement, connection and ultimately Jesus in the midst of total heartbreak. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

So this post is for the mother grieving…

My hope and prayer for you, mama, is that, even in your deepest wounds and darkest pain, that Jesus will meet with you, heal your heart and soul and body, and that His peace and presence that surpasses understanding will guard your heart and mind in Him.  (Phil. 4:7)

You (and your precious baby) are so deeply loved, seen, valued and held by the Lord Himself.
