Description

Join us for a conversation with Sarah Philpott, author of Loved Baby, about how to navigate the painful journey of grief after pregnancy loss. Sarah shares her story of growing up as a rainbow baby herself and then experiencing multiple miscarriages while trying to grow her own family. 

Living a life acquainted with loss, Sarah discusses with Ashley how she grieved with hope and found joy in the perfection of Heaven. She encourages grieving moms to embrace Christ and use their spiritual gifts to shine His light after pregnancy loss.

In this episode, we discussed:

• Why you shouldn't feel guilty for grieving losses early in pregnancy
• Practical ways to navigate triggers such as baby registry emails in your inbox, formula packets coming in the mail, and invitations to baby showers
• How to protect your heart while you're grieving by putting up boundaries with social media and friends or family who are pregnant
• Breakdowns in marriage after loss and how to reconnect with your spouse
• Why our spouse cannot be our source of healing and how to rely on Christ instead (and give our spouses grace in the process)
• How to choose faith over fear when trying to conceive again
• Honoring our babies and our Father in Heaven by rejoicing in our suffering, shining the light of Jesus, and being sanctified to be more like Him
• Sarah's healing process of writing Loved Baby and how God used her spiritual gifts to comfort other grieving moms
