Hope Blooms: Surviving Miscarriage Together

Send a text

A miscarriage is a significant physical and emotional event for a woman and her family. Often under prepared and under informed women experience miscarriages without the right supplies or information.

EPLA is committed to distributing our miscarriage care kits at no cost to families or providers. We seek to help bear the burden of grief for women and families suffering early pregnancy loss, and bearing the financial burden is one tangible way we can support families during this difficult time.

Our care kits provide essential sanitary items and educational resources to meet the needs of women immediately after loss.

To learn more about how you can join us to carry this burden please visit Zeffy!

This week we sit down with Jamilah Robinson, the co-founder and Executive Director of Missing Pieces Support Group in Houston, Texas. 

EPLA is excited to highlight this organization as our missions are quite alike! It is the mission of Missing Pieces to bring awareness to pregnancy loss by providing community support, resources, and care packages; forming a mindful community that bridges the gap for similar support services; and providing a platform that gives families the opportunity to share their stories online.

Only a few weeks into her first pregnancy, Haley Naida was surprised to discover she was experiencing a Missed Miscarriage. The following days, weeks, months, and years brought grief and confusion as she and her husband muddled through the spiritual, emotional, and physical suffering. But they also experienced great hope and healing through the gift of friendship. Haley's wisdom and grace shines through as she calls for doctors, women, the church, and our whole community, to step up and take care of those experiencing this loss.

As we approach Mother's Day many mothers are left grieving the children they never knew. Miscarriage not only robs us of our child's life, but sometimes it feels like it can rob us of our motherhood. 

You are a mother. Your motherhood began at conception. If you are suffering this time of year know that both Bereaved Mother's Day and Mother's Day are for you.

Ten years ago our co-host, Emily, discovered that her first child, affectionately known as Baby, no longer had a heartbeat. It was the end of April and she and her husband were looking forward to a new house, new job, and new baby, only to be told Baby had died. 

While Emily has told her story before this episode specifically remembers that first miscarriage and her short time with Baby. After 10 years her grief has changed, but it never went away.

Grieving is hard and when our friends are grieving we often want to fix it. But does that really work? 

So if we can't fix grief, how do we help women as they walk through miscarriage? 

We personally loved this little video about grief:
