Grief
February Favorites #4: What parents with a baby in…
A year or so after The Accident, I wrote What Bereaved Parents Want You to Know (But May Not Say). I received a huge response. A few weeks later I wrote about parents who have lost an infant, including those who loss was due to miscarriage or stillbirth. I have not personally walked that road, but have many friends who have. Close friends. I hurt with them. I prayed for them. I tried to love them. I had a few of them review this article before publishing it. If you have lost a baby, or know someone who has, I hope this article will help you.
What parents with a baby in heaven want you to know (but may not)
I write about my life, my journey, my family, and my faith.

I love this. Have counseled many who are grieving a miscarriage, or multiple miscarriages. I haven’t walked that particular road either, but the grief they experience is real and raw.
And if it’s their first, fear of never having a child is also very real. Platitudes don’t help.
Platitudes rarely do.
