You Are Still a Mother: Finding Hope in the Midst of Miscarriage and Stillbirth
Losing a baby to miscarriage or stillbirth is a grief unlike any other. It can feel as though the ground has fallen out from beneath you. The dreams you carried for your child—hopes of holding, nurturing, and watching them grow—suddenly end far too soon. For many women, this loss brings not only deep sadness but also feelings of isolation, fear, and questions that are hard to put into words.
Losing a baby to miscarriage or stillbirth is a grief unlike any other.
The dreams you carried for your child suddenly end far too soon.
Sadly, this heartbreaking experience is more common than many realize. About 1 in 160 births result in stillbirth, and countless others are touched by miscarriage. In the midst of such pain, it’s easy to feel alone. But you are not forgotten, and you are not alone—God is near to the brokenhearted and promises to be with you in your grief.
We want to recommend a deeply compassionate resource: You Are Still a Mother: Hope for Women Grieving a Stillbirth or Miscarriage by Jackie Gibson. Speaking from her own personal loss, Gibson writes with honesty and tenderness, acknowledging the sorrow and loneliness that come with this unique grief. Yet woven throughout her words are reminders of the unshakable truths of the gospel—that God is good, that He is present, and that He will carry you through even the darkest valleys.
