10 years ago Clay and I had the awful experience of losing a baby to miscarriage. We had 5 healthy and beautiful children at the time which made the whole experience completely unexpected. The healing process was long and rocky. We learned a lot from that little baby that never spoke to us. I felt like the 10 year mark was a good time to share what we learned and some good resources for those that are looking for support. The 2 websites mentioned in the show today are;
Americanpregnancy.org
and
miscarriagesupport.org

I, too, agree – it was/is a beautiful thing to talk about, especially now. Happy Birthday Samuel, you have been in our thoughts for the last ten years.

That was such a well-thought-out episode. Thank you. I went through a miscariage within the first 6 months of our marriage, 15 years ago. The pain is still there some days…and I too dealt with it poorly…I’ve never even thought about how my husband dealt with it. Again, thank you for sharing.

I started to cry…..I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. I can’t imagine.
I’m so thankful for all your children, and that you and Clay have had the courage and strength to follow the plan that has been laid out for you. You both have been the best example, especially in your rough times, of how a married couple can and should love one another.
You are all in my prayers and I know He is praying as well.
I love you!

Thank you or sharing Jen. It was comforting for me to hear once again that it is ok to grieve the loss of someone so small who never spoke a word but whose impact on my life has been so great. It seems too common that we are expected to just move on so quickly after this kind of loss, with no thought to the impact this life had on us. My heart goes out to anyone who has had to feel this loss. The loss that our husbands feel is all too real as well. It’s been amazing to me to see my husband “soldier” on despite his deep sense of loss, because it is what is expected of him from colleagues and friends. God bless our husbands who stand by us so faithfully, and support us through our physical and emotional craziness. Their strength is truly a “God thing”.
Much love,
Celeste

Thanks for sharing Jen. Interesting to me that you spoke about miscarriage as my own has come up in conversation twice in the last week and I can’t remember the last time I talked about it. I liked that you mentioned the Dad, I know everyone asked Adam how I was doing but no one asked him how he was doing, sad when I look back on it.
Thanks again for sharing.
Love you.
