Finding Meaning After Miscarriage
[image error]
Why me? Why my baby?
These are common questions after you’ve suffered a miscarriage, stillbirth or the loss of your child.
Focus on the Family (FOTF) invited me to speak to this issue.
I open up in this 4 part series, sharing lessons I learned in the trenches after our baby, David, and sixteen-year-old son, Nathan, relocated to heaven.
One thing I know:
Finding meaning often begins in the dark.
To kick off the series, FOTF shares a video of our daughter, Jessie Vredevelt Schultz, reading a love letter to her baby Chloe, who left the womb for heaven a few months ago. Jessie honors her daughter’s precious life, and the God she loves who gives treasures in the dark.
I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the Lord,
Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.
-Is 45:3, NKJV
Monday, October 15th is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.
Scientific research shows that moms feel very alone after a miscarriage or the loss of their baby. There’s a good reason for this. People around them don’t want to bring up the subject for fear of saying the wrong thing. The topic is uncomfortable.
But every mom I’ve met who has suffered a miscarriage, stillbirth, loss of a baby or child, longed for someone to notice and remember.
Will you be that person?
Who do you know that might benefit from this series?
