    Losing Our Baby, Heaven | Our Miscarriage Story, Faith, and Ways to Honor Your Baby

    This is one of the most difficult videos we've ever chosen to share. Recently, Will and I experienced the heartbreaking loss of our baby through miscarriage. We named our baby **Heaven**, because this precious child will always be part of our family. In this video, I'm sharing our story honestly—the joy of finding out we were pregnant, the heartbreak of learning there was no heartbeat, the grief of saying goodbye, and how God has been meeting us in the middle of our pain. My prayer is that this testimony points people to Christ, even in suffering, and reminds anyone walking through loss that they are not alone. I also wanted to create this video because, after our miscarriage, I learned there are ways some families choose to honor their babies that I didn't know about at the time. I share some of those options in the hope that other parents will have information we didn't have, so they can make the decision that brings them the most peace and best honors their baby. If you've experienced miscarriage, pregnancy loss, or infant loss, my heart is with you. Your baby mattered. Your grief is real. You are not alone, and I pray you find comfort in knowing that God is near to the brokenhearted. Thank you for watching and for treating our family's story with kindness, compassion, and respect. If this video encourages even one grieving parent to feel seen or helps one family make an informed decision about honoring their baby, then sharing our story will have been worth it. ❤️ In loving memory of our sweet baby, Heaven.
