Thank you so much for posting this! My firstborn was born sleeping at full term on the day before Resurrection Sunday in 2015. We named her Galina Faith, meaning, “God shall redeem by faith.” It still means so much to me to hear other people talk about her... just to know that we’re not the only ones who remembers her.

I have not lost a baby in pregnancy but I have lost my 19 year old son to heart failure and all those things that you talk about mean so much to any bereaved mother. Taylor has been gone 5 years October 15th and I miss him more every day but I know every day is another day that I am closer to seeing him again. As an enneagram 8 it’s hard for me to show my vulnerability but I am trying. Love to both of you and I will pray for your sweet little daughter Leeane 🥰

This video is so needed. I have been pregnant 19 times and have six living children ages 32-14. While watching I had tears as you can imagine. All through those years I became very stoic. Only in the past few years have I been able to really "deal" with those losses. If you don't you will regret it later. Some quick advice I learned: 1. It feels like falling into a dark pit as the hormones leave your body. Let it happen as this is normal and don't try to cover it up with other tasks. 2. Cry and not just pretty crying, allow yourself to be alone and cry from the bottom of your toes. Deep throaty, anguished crying. If you allow yourself this you will be stronger when the "leaking" happens for no apparent reason during the day. 3. Let people touch you. If I had physical touch I would break down so I avoided it. Not wise. 4. Your brain is scrambled so you don't know what you need and people will ask you. Have a friend write down for you something to tell people when they ask. Have a primary friend to take charge. You are in no mindset to know what you need. 5. People will say the wrong thing because they don't know what to say. Let it go. Later you can make a list of phrases to tell people when they ask you should I say to someone who went through what you did. Some days even "Hello" is the wrong thing. So don't be hard on yourself. I could go on forever with this. THANK YOU Ladies for this beautiful video. I wished it had been there for me. Write a book.

I wish I had a friend like her to do the research to know what’s best. I feel like even though we’ve been rather open about our losses, so many friends and family just don’t know what to do, and we’ve grieved and suffered the pain of miscarriage at home alone. This is so helpful and heartwarming to see the way their friendship grew in this kind of way. Thank you for sharing this!

I wish I had someone who was able to think of all those things for me...I would so love to have footprints or something tangible that was his...I didn’t think about it until it was too late...and I often feel like the only one who remembers him, even my husband didn’t realize that his due date was hit his month. My faith has been strengthened through this refining fire and I gain huge comfort from the thought that my little guy only experienced happiness and joy in the arms of his savior and never experienced any of the pain or fear or suffering that abounds in this world. We named him Asher because it means happy. He is! He is truly happier than he would ever have been on earth ❤️

This is so beautiful. Thank you for putting this out there. I lost my first pregnancy at 14wks and then lost several more earlier on. Our babies were real, they mattered. SO many people have no idea what to say or do or what NOT to say or do. It has been nine years since that first loss and I still remember the three big days: + test day, loss day, and due date. You'll always know in a second how old that baby would have been. I have since had a beautiful, funny, sweet little boy. He is my world. His existence does not lessen the grief and loss of his sibling. Coming to terms with that was a critical moment in my journey. Thank you for breaking the silence!

I spent most of this video in tears, both because of my two prior miscarriages (including one at 13 weeks), and because of the beauty of the relationship you two share. I'm the friend who plays the role of being a strong support to others, so I didn't even know how to ask for support when I needed it. Very few people beyond my parents even know that we were trying to get pregnant, so we didn't then share much when there was loss. Most still don't know six years later or haven't known how to react when it's been mentioned later. Watching this makes me wish it hadn't been that way. I have, however, been able to use my experience to support two former students who have suffered pregnancy loss, and I hope that they'll be able to pass along support to others in the future. May we all seek to emulate the love and support shown here. Thank you for sharing it with us.

This brought tears to me. On August 15th we went to the lake with our two teenagers and allowed each one to bring a friend. While there, my son’s best friend Noah was in a tragic accident and passed away. He was only 15 years old. The grieving between both of our families has been something I can’t describe. But God has picked up the threads and is making a beautiful tapestry out of it. Last Sunday 12 teenagers were baptized in Noah’s pool! You see, Noah loved Jesus and his friends saw that. It’s been tragic and wondrous all at the same time. I am so glad to hear of your faith. And the blessing of knowing you will see Marian again one day is a treasure. It doesn’t take the pain away at all, but it is a blessing! Hugs to you and thank you so much for sharing your story ❤️

Michelle, you're a wonderful friend and I can see that you're feeling her pain, too. I lost all three of my pregnancies. On the first one, I had no support whatsoever, the father was happy that I didn't have the baby. At least I had a strong partner for the other two. He wanted them as much as I did. I know what you mean about the pain never really leaving, but it changes. My first one was 40 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Thank you so much for sharing this.

At the end of 2020, my beautiful boy was born healthy and perfect, but my anxiety was so high throughout the entire pregnancy that it was hard to enjoy it. I don't think I really began to relax and believe that he really is ok until the past few months (he's almost 8 months old now!). No one ever talks about that part, and I'm not sure why, but I have to think I'm not the only one. Thank you for sharing this! This is a blessing to so many!

Thank you so much for this. I’m not going through anything of that severity, but I’m dealing with loss in my life and having to remove people in my life to help with my mental health. It hurts so badly because some of them are my closest family. And I realize that this is NOTHING like what your going through, but there are days that I can’t get out of bed and am so depressed and I just need to be held. And hearing you say to me through this video that if all I can do is sit in the grief and lean on my circle of people then I’m doing enough, it means the world to me. Thank you so so much. This helps me so so much.
