You may be surprised to know that approximately 1 million expectant mothers suffer a pregnancy loss every year just in the United States alone. 1 out of 4 pregnancies end prematurely in miscarriage, stillbirth or tubal pregnancy.
Why do some people bounce back after a tragic loss when others don’t? What is it that empowers the to keep moving forward through grief with a sense of hope?
Pam Vredevelt, Love and Loss Expert, Professional Therapist, and best selling author, wrestled with these questions after losing her first baby half way to term, and years later, her sixteen year old son following a car accident.
This is something that touches close to home for me. We lost two babies in between our daughter and son. I never realized how common miscarriages are until we went through that.
It is a devastating loss. Both for a mother and a father.
So my hope for today’s show is to give hope and comfort to those of you that have experienced a loss like this and also to give wisdom and understanding to those who haven’t in case someone you love goes through this.
Pam and I discuss:
* Our personal stories of loss.
* The importance of sharing our pain with others that we trust.
* Why mothers feel shame when they lose a baby during pregnancy.
* The role that facing our loss plays in healing our heart.
* What we can do to work through our grief.
* The moment when I told my children they have siblings in Heaven.
