Lost Gifts

Grief upon grief. 

I felt life perish from within my body three times. I had children, I just never got to hold them or know them or kiss them. My life looked no different from the outside. But inside, I was heartbroken and confused. Losing a baby in the womb is common, but that doesn't make it any less painful. The grief of losing any child feels unbearable.

Lost Gifts: Miscarriage, Grief, and the God of All Comfort laments the grief of miscarriage, discovers God's gifts in spite of loss, and remembers our Good Shepherd, who weeps with those who weep. When we suffer, we are invited into deeper communion with Jesus. In the pain of miscarriage, we learn to treasure our suffering Savior who holds us.
