One in every hundred full-term pregnancies ends in stillbirth-a heartbreaking statistic no parent ever imagines will become their reality. Yet, for me, it did. Losing my daughter, Kate, was the hardest trial I’ve ever faced, shaking the foundations of my marriage, my family, and my faith.
How would my marriage survive the weight of this sorrow? Could we find the courage to have more children? How could we ensure our son still felt loved amidst the chaos of our grief? And how could I, with a heart shattered into pieces, rise each day to face family, friends, and a community watching us navigate unimaginable pain?
In the midst of this darkness, I discovered one unshakable truth: with God, all things are possible.
Through raw and heartfelt reflections, I share the two-and-a-half-year journey that followed Kate’s passing-a journey marked by heartbreak, resilience, and ultimately, hope. My prayer is that this book offers comfort and connection to those walking their own path of grief, reminding you that even in your darkest moments, you are never alone.
For anyone who has experienced loss or knows someone who has, this story is a beacon of hope and healing.
