Thank you for this. I am grieving the loss of my daughter as she was due today. I had a miscarriage in October.

Thank you for sharing you story. I have been struggling to find peace on my own path to healing and I greatly appreciated my words. I realized I had thought this was done to me… but truth is it was not. God has been here with me the whole time and even as ithers get pregnant and I don’t: God is still with me. I need to say “no” to fear and “yes” to hope. Thank you for reminding me where to turn.

I stumbled across this article today as I was on Pinterest. We lost our baby 2 weeks ago and it has been the worst 2 weeks of my life. We had plans to tell people this week as we were so close to the second trimester.. I’m broken and feel like Christmas was ruined because of this..but I know God has a plan and I trust that he will comfort and help me find my joy. Thank you for reminding me that I’m not alone in this and God will see me through.

Thank you for writing this, I’ve been reading your blogs/devotionals for a while. I’ve always skipped over the ones about miscarriage. It wasn’t anything I wanted to read or think about, but now I am so grateful you shared your story. Two weeks ago, after having 3 healthy full term pregnancies I experienced my first miscarriage. Reading this helped. Thank you for being a faithful servant and writing for God. Holding onto hope!

This is so beautiful. I had to stop reading a few times because i couldn’t see thru my tears. I have two babies in heaven, one was a spontaneous miscarriage (09/11/2015) and the other was just last month… this time ectopic. The baby was perfect, ALMOST into the second trimester, just in the wrong place. My heart is hurting…. I needed to read this today. Thank you so much for sharing your heart.

Wow. I’m at work. Sobbing. At my desk, trying to hold back. You bring so much reality, love, and peace all together in this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings on your sleeve. Years later and you’ve touched more. I needed this. To the core. It was this September that I lost my baby. Your story was sooo similar to mine. Even the “good news” call turning to frantic blurred calls that I still don’t want to remember. We named our little one Asher Xavier. We chose to name him with a blessing, it’s the moment that I finally felt peace that he will never be forgotten. My husband and I love him and are so grateful that we know we’ll be able to meet him again. Please keep sharing. I’ve only read 3 of your articles and all of them have helped my depression and expression. (This one, Learning grace through your son asking the man if he knew Jesus, and where your dad’s secret saved your marriage). You are incredible writer that has helped me feel that love of Jesus. Thank you so much for your light in the world.

In reply to Jennifer. Exactly what I wanted to post. Our babies are looking after us and can't wait to meet us either. I feel it.

THANK YOU for sharing your story. It was definitely inspiring and hope filled. Reading this provided me with a different perspective on my own situation and for that I thank you. I had miscarriage last December after trying to get pregnant for 6 years. My husband and I were devastated. Before we could process and revel in our new upcoming roles as parents it was cut short. Before my first appointment to confirm the pregnancy it abruptly ended. So, now we are in the midst of our first IVF cycle. If anyone has done this, it’s a roller coaster of an ordeal. We just found out that of our 8 embryos only one (1) will be transferred. Thinking we had a “reserve” (I realize how cold that sounds as I type) in case things didn’t go as planned. I was completely heartbroken when the doctor’s office called to say that only one would be transferred. Reading your post allowed me to do some reflecting/soul searching on our situation. I had a few concerns about the 8 embryos, well the whole IVF process…what do we do with the remaining if things go according to planned? Are we altering God’s plans for us? Maybe we weren’t meant to be parents…etc. Anyway, after reading this I think this is the Lord’s way of taking care of the other babies. Seven of the 8 had chromosomal deficiencies. The more I pondered, the more I don’t think I could handle birthing and burying a baby as most with missing or extra chromosomes don’t survive. I think this was God’s way of protecting us from THAT heartache. So, now I have to trust that this one baby boy will be transferred successfully. My apologies for such a long response. I really just wanted to say thanks for this encouraging post.

I just lost my baby on July 26, 2016. It was my first pregnancy and nothing could have prepared me for what happened. Thank you for sharing your story of faith and hope. I was so mad at God because I was standing in faith, speaking the Word over my baby, and standing on all of God’s promises. I knew God was good, and it was not His will this happened and it wasn’t even that He allowed it to happen, but I couldn’t understand. This Wednesday, August 3rd, I had hope again. Something broke off of me. Even though I still didn’t understand, I can honestly say, “Lord, it is well with my soul.” I still cry and miss my baby, but I know he or she is happy and healthy in the arms of Jesus! My baby will never hurt again, never have to cry, and the first thing my baby ever saw was the face of Jesus! Your story touched my heart, because I went through all of that, too. We have different experiences, but we’ve lost our babies. We’ve also seen the faithfulness of God
in the storm. Thank you!
