Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of miscarriage and infant loss. Please listen with care if this is a sensitive topic for you.

In this second part of our two-part series, we continue sharing the deeply personal spiritual journey we walked through after the miscarriage of our son, Basil, in January.

Miscarriage is often spoken about in whispers, if it is spoken about at all. In this episode, we open our hearts about grief, faith, and the ways God meets us in suffering. We reflect on the spiritual lessons we encountered, the ways our understanding of life and motherhood deepened, and how Christ carried us through a season that felt both devastating and sacred.

Our hope in sharing Basil’s story is to bring light into a space that many families walk through silently. If you have experienced miscarriage, infant loss, or any form of pregnancy loss, please know you are not alone.

Thank you for allowing us to share this vulnerable part of our story.
