Hi, sweet mama.

I’m so sorry that you’re here. You are in one of the most tender and vulnerable places you could be right now. You’ve just heard words that you never expected (and possibly never heard). You have probably looked up definitions to things you attempted to scribble down when your doctor called with your lab results. Maybe you replay that scene in the ultrasound room over and over again. You’re probably in shock. Lonely. And you have so many questions. Questions like: What do I do now? How do we continue to go forward? What’s going to happen?

You might not even know what questions you should be asking.

All you know is that you thought your pregnancy was going to end one way, and instead, it appears that your child’s life will look very different.  Anticipatory grief is deep, powerful, and confusing at times.  God says his grace is sufficient for you even in this (2 Corinthians 12:9), and even in the sorrow, we trust that you’ll also experience joy.

We hope that this is a helpful starting place for you as you walk this road. Imagine this like a conversation with friends – an opportunity to hold hands with many women who have walked ahead of you and have given ideas and suggestions for what made the difference for them in their journey.  We hope that they inspire you and help you make decisions as you prepare to meet your child. Mostly, though, we hope you know you aren’t alone. We are here with you.

You’re so loved… and your baby is, too.

xo,
Meg

P.S. You can hear the story of my son Jacob here.
