Infant Loss & Finding Strength in the Hardest Moments
Former Indianapolis News Anchor Brooke Martin had no reason to believe her pregnancy would be anything out of the ordinary. Instead, it turned out to be the catalyst that changed the trajectory of her life in profound ways.
Brooke's daughter was diagnosed in-utero with a neural tube defect called "anencephaly." The condition means the baby's brain and skull don't fully develop. Many women miscarry these pregnancies. The vast majority of babies born with the condition die in the minutes or days after birth.
Encouraged to undergo a medically indicated abortion, Brooke instead chose to carry her daughter to term; her womb becoming a peri-natal hospice. And as a broadcast journalist, she was living out this long goodbye in front of the unflinching eye of the public.
It wouldn't seem it, but this is a story of hope, faith, and restoration. It's a story of good coming out of bad. And it's one Brooke is sharing because she's experienced the joy and peace on the other side of her mountain, and she believes it's available for you as well.
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month
