Have you lost a baby too? I know it is so so hard. And one of my biggest fears in the wake of loss was moving on and forgetting.

There really is no moving on, in a way. Your life is forever changed. I didn’t want my life to go back to “normal.” I wanted to honor the depth of my loss, but I also wanted to do it in a healthy way.

Here are some ideas for honoring your baby’s life, no matter how short in or out of the womb.

When I was in college, I read a book about what a Christian marriage should look like. I was so mad after reading it. It’s been a while since I read it, but what I remember thinking after reading it was “If that’s what marriage is supposed to look like, then I don’t want it.”

I’m not sure where I got my first copy of Voice Of The Martyrs Magazine growing up, but when I started reading it after losing my baby, I had a completely different perspective on it.

Yes, the stories are very different from mine, and yet there are similarities. The biggest similarity is the life-changing loss these Christians face.

Growing up, it didn’t matter how long or short the car ride was… I was singing. My big brother would moan, “Mom! Make her stop!” 😂

The truth is, music has always been a part of who I was.

Until my son passed away.

Hope after loss… you might be totally rolling your eyes right now. 🙄

Depending on where you are on your journey of grief after miscarriage or infant loss, hope and healing might seem impossible or even repugnant.

I hate when I hear on the news about another shooting. And it crushes my soul to read another story of a mama bereaved of her baby. So…How do we encourage people after a tragedy? What about when you personally go through something?

Losing a pregnancy or a newborn can be one of the most heartbreaking experiences a family can endure. Coping with the emotions and navigating the healing process can be challenging, but reading books on the topic can provide comfort and support during this difficult time.

Some weird things have been happening globally and locally. Have you been there? Are you there now? Have the headlines troubled you to the point of fearfully hoarding food and toilet paper? Do you fear if life will ever be the same again? Do you fear losing the comforts you’ve grown to love? ✋🏽 Do you fear suffering?

I know I have.

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11 (ESV)

Did you know that those who follow Christ will experience high-pressure waiting, discouraging circumstances, physical or emotional isolation, and a relatively harder life here and now than those who don’t follow Christ?

The truth is, I didn’t know…

Has heartbreak and waiting for adoption made you cynical? Have you wondered if there’s any hope for excitement and joy again?

We’ve been hoping to adopt for a while, and the wait has been long and wearisome.

I’ve tried to calm the pain by telling myself it’ll be worth it in the end. All the hard work and waiting in adoption will be worth it once I hold my child in my arms.

But is that the best thing to focus on?

Does your waiting seem long and unbearable? Girl, I’m in the same boat, so this is a prayer for both of us.

Have you seen the new hashtags going around? #iam #iamloved #iamworthy #iampowerful #iamenough Ok, so maybe it isn’t new. It seems nice and all, but -- I’m just gonna come out and say it -- this is dangerous!

I know firsthand, how hard it can be to relate to Bible verses that compare things to labor and birth and say something like…
