Peace and comfort in the pain of Miscarriage
Early August of 2019... and January of 2020... were two of the hardest times of our lives. At the end of July we learned that we were going to have our 2nd child. We were scared but excited. When August came some signs indicated things weren't alright so we got checked and discovered my wife had a miscarriage at 5 and 1/2 weeks. I will never forget when we saw the empty ultrasound.
Later on we began having trouble with our church in East Palo Alto at the time and began to see how ungracious and toxic that community was. In the midst of figuring out whether or not we should leave, we had a second miscarriage in January. Thankfully we have left that community and are now part of a loving and gracious church family close to where we live.
What got us through this hard time was our faith in God. We found peace and joy and hope in the midst of such tragedy and loss. I decided to build this to remind myself as well as shed light on a very common and painful experience many families go through. Let's end the stigma of miscarriage and talk about it. If you have experienced a miscarriage I am here to listen and talk if you want to. I hope that this can encourage others through their loss. You are not alone and though it is painful and hard, there can be peace, joy, and hope.
