Miscarriage
It’s heartbreaking to know that a significant number of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Many women feel isolated in their grief, like no one else understands. These posts provide stories of women who have experienced loss, encouragement and practical tips, and resources for grieving parents.
Sunshine Baby & Pineapple Rain (Reflections on Joy and Sorrow)
Rain showers and sunshine. Joy and sorrow. From our home in Hawaii, I often see afternoon rainbows while I stand at our kitchen sink. If I searched the sky, I could probably spot a rainbow every single day since Hawaiian weather mixes sunshine and misty rain clouds perfectly. I love the way that the sun frequently…
Gift Ideas After Pregnancy Loss

Pregnant at 40 – Baby Announcement (Our Story: Part 3)
Never a Guarantee Early in our infertility journey, a friend who had struggled to become pregnant said, “Motherhood is a privilege, not a given.” Her words echo in my head. As much as any of us desire motherhood, although we hope and pray, motherhood is not a guarantee. For 7 years (2010-2017) I only saw…
Barrenness in Beautiful Places

Grieving Twins (Guest Post – A Mama Shares About Miscarriage)
{Trigger warning: this mama shares some details of her miscarriage} As I (Betsy) sit down to post my friend’s story, I realize that exactly one year ago, I was working in a church nursery with her, discovering many things that we had in common.
