Miscarriage happens
a lot. And it’s painful. And it’s completely and utterly
heartbreaking. And my heart goes out to
anyone who has ever been in those same shoes that I was once forced to walk in.
In honor of
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day this Saturday, October, 15th, I wanted
to take the time today to remember our little one who we never got to meet. The one who we never got to hug or
kiss. The one who will never grace the
pages of this blog.
Was he a rough
and tumble little boy or was she a graceful and dainty little girl? Would he or she have had the green eyes that
I inherited from my own mother or would they have had their Daddy’s beautiful blue
eyes? Brian’s sandy blonde hair or my own
brown hair? Would they be shy like both
of us or would they be blessed with an outgoing personality? Would they be hilarious like our other two
babies turned out to be? Kind-hearted? Intelligent?
These are
things that I think about daily, and they are things that we will never know
here on earth, but God willing, they are things that we will find out one day
after we leave.
To all of you
mommas out there waiting for your little miracles, know that I am praying for
you on this day and every day. And if
you need some encouragement, or just need to know that somebody else has faced
the same struggles that you’re currently facing, feel free to read my story here:
I learned a lot because of my
miscarriage and if I can make a difference for even one person, then putting my story out there has served its purpose.
Love this post, my friend!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with all those who have gone through this.
Thank you, Stefanie.
DeleteI do not talk about it on the blog, but I too know this pain. Thank you for talking about this how important is is to be compassionate for those who have gone through this pain. Your 10 things article is spot on and I am sure many women will find it helpful and supportive. Thank you sweet lady!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Andrea. I'm sorry that you had to go through it as well. It really is crazy just how many women I know who have gone through this. Before I had mine I always thought it was very rare, but once I went through it people started coming out of the woodwork to tell me about theirs. It's shocking how common it really is. Thank you for your sweet comments.
DeleteBeautiful post Lindsay. Thank you for sharing. My best friend has had two and it's something that no person should ever have to go through. I'm so glad you shared your story and I'm sure it's helping others. :) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I too, know this pain. Luke & I every once in a while will talk about our favorite what could have been. How old he or she would have been, what color hair, would he or she be like Cash or more like Wyatt's personality. Hugs to you
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain Lindsay. I still think about our angel baby and what might have been. October is a special month and always will be. Thinking about you!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful thoughts. Big hugs to you and you wonder and reflect friend.
ReplyDeleteI also have green eyes that I inherited from my mother.. I was hoping my girls would have them too, no such luck.
I love this post sweet lady! Miscarriage is by far the hardest thing I think I have ever gone through. Sending you big hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dedication! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove to you my friend. I've walked the same path.
ReplyDeleteLoved this. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

Love ya girl! Thanks for sharing your story. 😘
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! I have experienced miscarriage, too, and it is such a hopeless, empty feeling! My doctor described it as "the club no woman wants to be a member of, but yet so many are." The only good that has come of my miscarriages, is the comfort I have been able to provide to my friends that have experienced it after me. It's kind of a hush hush topic, but people need to talk about it to let other's know they are not alone. Thanks for sharing your heart, Lindsay!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post! This is a subject that isn't talked about enough so I'm glad you did!
