October is pregnant and infant loss awareness month. It’s a time when women bravely share that they are apart of the 1 in 4 women who experience the loss of a child to miscarriage or stillbirth. It’s when women seem to come out in droves, sharing that they too have experienced an unforgettable loss. Each of these women belong to a club they never signed up for.
The thing about clubs, though, is you typically know who else belongs to the club. And there’s camaraderie, there is sharing, there is togetherness, there is laughter, and there are tears. Unfortunately, there is a stigma around pregnancy and infant loss that often silences those who are suffering and therefore prevents others from coming alongside to support and encourage them.
With each of our four babies that were delivered into Heaven, the Lord birthed a ministry in our lives and mission here in Earth. I’m here to break the silence! I’m here to be the voice that says “you’re not alone.” I’m here to cry with you and pray for you and hope with you for the rainbow to come after the storm. Im here for you in solidarity. Who’s with me?
“Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.” Romans 12:15
