I was holding my cries in so my daughter wouldn’t feel my pain💔Being a mother means learning how to be strong even when you’re breaking inside. We do it out of love, so our kids don’t carry worries that aren’t theirs to hold.🙂 #fyp #healingjourney #childloss #misscarriage #trustgod

1/30 Edited to

... Read moreExperiencing the loss of a baby is one of the most profound and heartbreaking challenges a mother can endure. For me, it was a night filled with overwhelming grief the moment the doctors told us that our baby had no heartbeat. Holding back tears in front of my daughter was essential because I wanted to shield her from the weight of worry and sadness that did not belong to her. I found myself wrestling with complex emotions—heartbreak mixed with a deep desire to stay strong. One of the things that helped me was lifting my hands in worship despite the pain, reminding myself that faith does not erase suffering but provides a foundation of trust even amidst hardship. This trust in God gave me a source of comfort and hope that I could carry forward. Sharing this journey openly has made me realize how crucial it is for mothers enduring similar losses to find support, whether through community groups, counseling, or spiritual practice. The healing process is not linear, and it requires patience and compassion towards oneself. We learn that being strong doesn’t mean hiding our pain but acknowledging it and choosing to move through it with love. To any mother going through loss, I want to encourage you to lean on your faith and the people who care about you. It’s okay to grieve and simultaneously embrace moments of peace and gratitude. Our children, both born and unborn, deserve the best of our love and strength, and that often means finding resilience in ways we never imagined.

The hardest person I had to forgive was me.
Day 46 hit different. I’ve forgiven people who broke me. I’ve made peace with chapters I never thought I’d survive. But forgiving myself? That took surrender. There’s a difference between repentance and punishment. Growth doesn’t require us to keep reopening closed cases just to prove
