While serving as a parish pastor for 15 years I was called for help by parents who suffered a miscarriage. Helping couples work through their grief prompted me to share God’s good message for those who grieve thus with the whole congregation (see below a page from our baptismal certificate).
After I spoke to the congregation about miscarriage, I was surprised by how many couples had suffered miscarriages but had never spoken to anyone about them, including me. Great good came from the sympathy and encouragement that was shared between so many people once they knew about their common experience. My daughter, Abigail, has written an article about her own experiences that is wonderfully therapeutic. We hope you will find her words helpful and invite you to share this article, linked here.
