When It's Hard · Grief & Loss
Miscarriage & Infant Loss
For when you feel: miscarriage, lost the baby, stillbirth, empty nursery
Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me.
The MinuteSermon
There is a room you may still walk past, or a date you still count from, carrying a grief the world struggles to see. A life you carried. A name you may never have said aloud. God witnessed all of it. Before you knew, He knew, and knit, and treasured that little life. He says, "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands." Engraved means permanent. Your child is not lost to God, and neither are you. When David grieved his own infant son, he said, "I shall go to him," and that hope still stands. So grieve without apology. This was a real child and a real love, and there is a real God holding both of them, and holding you.
