- By the time you see this, it'll have been a few weeks since I went through most of it, so I'm doing much better now. I wanted to add a huge thank you to everyone who came around me during this time and supported both me and this book release-you meant so much to me and you're very much appreciated. I may not respond to a ton of comments if I'm not emotionally up to it, but I wanted to send a huge to everyone who decided to pick up this book despite my not having time to promote it much, you're the best!

"I have no answers but I still am trusting God" is the most beautiful thing I've heard someone say.
I wish I could hug you. I'm so sorry that you're hurting. God bless you, your husband and Zion.
Thank you, I really appreciate that
Sending you a hug. I had I miscarriage in late fall of 2023. It would’ve been our third child. We were trying to conceive my third for four years, and this was the first time I’d been pregnant since trying for our third kiddo. It’s so hard to have a miscarriage, and I don’t feel like the pain is less because I’ve had two living kids prior. It still feels horrifically painful. It’s okay to feel all your emotions. Praying for you🙏🏾
Thank you, I really appreciate that. So sorry you had to go through this experience as well, thank you for sharing and for praying
You mentioned the phrase "do not be afraid" as God's message. Years ago I had a number of miscarriages ending with an ectopic pregnancy. The phrase that he sent me each time was "do not fear, you are never alone and you are always loved". It helped each time. Then, after the ectopic pregnancy I suddenly realised the messages were not just for me, they were for the little ones too. It did end up breaking me, but I knew the act of putting myself back together was his grace too. What you are doing as a response to your experience is helping others. Thank you ❤️
I’m so so sorry you had to go through the experience of losing a little one too, my heart hurts for you. Thank you for sharing and for the encouragement, it means a lot ❤️
Watching this has shattered my heart. I never leave comments but after following you for so long, for having you be the reason I chose self-publishing, being part of your amazing Patreon community...my god, it felt like watching a dear friend go through this and all I wanted was to give you a big hug. You are so incredible, Bethany and I can't even imagine the pain. We all send our love and will try our best to promote the Secret Curse for you
Thank you Tori, that really means a lot to hear
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel. Unless someone has gone through this, they could never understand the depth of it… Please stay strong and rooted in your faith. Sending prayers.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that
I lost a son at 18 weeks. There aren't words, but you're not alone. Wishing you peace and love
I'm so so sorry to hear that, that's heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing, sending hugs
From this writer to a fellow one, what you went through is something I can’t believe was done. I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to you and your family on the matter along with a virtual hug 🫂
And you are right. Something this heartbreaking would be something emotional people would hide, but it is better to let the thoughts and emotions out or else they would get worse, not just the mind but to the body as well. Seeing you recover with working on the book, taking care of your son (who’s so sweet and adorable! ❤), being _human_ as life is a roller coaster is nice. You don’t have to be all eager and happy when you don’t feel like it; it just shows how human you are. I hope the rest of the year will go well for your career and personal life with encouraging luck on your upcoming novel creation 👍🏾
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that encouragement!
I’m happy for your book release, but I’m sorry about your loss. 😢
I’m so sorry for your loss, Bethany. I have full compassion for how difficult this must be to go through. And I’m also very thrilled about your book release. You have continuously emanated love, light and kindness to everyone through all you do and I hope to send back that same goodness to you and your loved ones as you go through this healing journey. During our darkest moments, an unexpected light always appears. Sending the greatest blessings your way ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Hana, I really appreciate it!
It’s heartbreaking for sure 💔 Allow yourself to give from what you have and give yourself compassion. I’m in that club too… this too shall pass. Two miscarriages and three babies later - I’m a grandmother 🎉 It hurt so bad and I’m sending you a tight hug and encouragement. I’m glad you’re just being a human and sharing. It’s beautiful ❤
As a mom, I also struggle with going to bed. I am glad I am not the only one. It's usually procrastination on doing the dishes that keeps me up. It's like 1 am, and I'm so exhausted, but I don't want to do them, and I force myself to stay up until I do them. Those 4 to 5 hours of sleep are never enough.
Sending you so many hugs ❤❤❤ so proud of you and how you’ve pushed through and shared your story
Thank you Mandi ❤️❤️❤️
Praying for you during this time. Thank you for your honesty and sharing your faith and hope. ❤
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it ❤️
I'm so sorry you're going through this. I miscarried five times, with the last time being around 2008. It was heartbreaking and so difficult to process. Thank you for sharing this with us. I pray that you will find comfort and healing and strength. God bless you and your family, Bethany.
Oh Bethany. I know you may never see this post. But i want you to know that you are not alone. Not only is GOD with you, but many of us women have suffered this great loss. In 2016 I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks. And found out during a prenatal check up. Even now, after all these years, April ( when i found out my baby passed away) and the day he was due) are very hard on me. But I know that my baby ( Enoch) was just too perfect for this world. ❤. That same year I had a miscarriage, I attended my cousins baby shower whose baby was due a few weeks before mine was. And I was so happy for her, but I secretly hurt so much. However, I know that every situation whether its good or bad is a lesson for us to learn so that we can be a help to the following generations.
We live in a broken and fallen world. Satan will do anything he can to get us down. What matters is getting back up, clinging to Christ. Just like Job. Never losing the faith. ❤Keep shining, Bethany! Love you
Keeping you and your sweet family in my prayers. Thank you for sharing with us during such a vulnerable time. ❤️
Thank you Emma, I really appreciate that ❤
Sending you so much love and prayers as you navigate your healing. Thank you for sharing your story with us
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that
So sorry this happened, Bethany. Hang in there and keep the faith. Sending prayers for you and your family. 🦋🙏🏾
Thank you ❤️
Sending so much love to you and your family. It's amazing that you're sharing this with everyone because so often it's hidden and it shouldn't have to be. Your loss and love is so real and true, and those feelings shouldn't have to be suppressed. Well done on launching the book despite everything else going on.
Thank you Cassie, I really appreciate that ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers to you and your family 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you, I really appreciate that ❤
Bethany I am so sorry, sending you lots of love and healing prayers. So many blessings ahead for you and your family🙏
Thank you Amber, that means a lot!
Awww, hi. I love your videos. I've written my own book. I became an Author on 10/21/23. But...I am updating it, to a new cover and some changes to manuscript. You have taught me much as a writer/Author.
I'm praying for you Bethany. In 76, I had a C-section. My very first baby weighed 4lbs 61/2 oz. I had what they called placenta previa. I hemorrhaged tons. I woke up and was receiving blood.
I say this...cause I can relate. My daughter is a beautiful, successful woman today. I had 4 girls and a son. I had my son at 38 years old.
But. I wanted to mention. My aunt had multiple miscarriages before she had her full pregnancies of 3 boys and 2 girls. The doctor put her on strict bedrest, as far as I remember.
Bethany, your beautiful don't give up. Never give up.
Smiles n hugs.
Eva J Mejia.
Love you Bethany, you are amazing and I'm thankful God is holding you close through all this. I'm so sad you've had to go through this. Praying for you lots. You are deeply loved.❤
Thank you mama, love you too ❤
I've never commented before, as I'm usually very timid about doing so, but I felt your pain in this video. Still took me a couple of days to comment. Myself and my wife both lost our daughter back in 2005, when she was ten days old. It was the worst time for us both, but we did get through it. I'm so sorry you're feeling this pain right now. You've been very inspirational to me as a newbie author and I love watching your videos. You make me feel like I can actually be an indie author, and I always feel motivated after watching you. I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. You will find your way through it. Lots of love from us both, all the way across the Atlantic.
Thanks for sharing. Better days are ahead. Stay strong, that cute little boy needs you!
Thank you so much, I appreciate that!
Aww, Bethany, I'm so sorry all of this happened to you. Zion is the cutest boy, and I'm always praying for you just so you know ❤
Thank you, I appreciate that
I have no words. I am so sorry. Sending love and prayers.
Thank you Angela ❤️
Thankyou for sharing from your heart, Bethany. Sometimes the only thing we can do is pray and take care of ourselves and our loved ones. Somehow, you're going through it alllll and you've managed to keep your book-life afloat. Somehow that helps me feel like trying harder, in the midst of a very different struggle season. Congrats on your book release! Btw, you and Zion are sooo cute.
Thank you so much that means a lot to hear, I really appreciate it ❤️
My sincerest condolences on your losses. Pushing through to continue life as usual when there's nothing usual about it is rough. I'm glad you have your faith. Give yourself some grace with this release. You're so talented and genuine.
Thank you ❤️
God bless you, Bethany. Your faith is beautiful. Blessings and peace to you in all that you are dealing with. Thank you for sharing all the things…you’re so right, it’s important to talk about it.❤
I’m so sorry about the Bethany ❤. I’m here crying for you and with you. Sending you and your family hugs and love.
Thank you, I really appreciate that
So sorry for your loss 😢 I saw your IG post and sending love from a fellow mum. Congratulations on your book release ❤
Thank you Alex, I really appreciate that
There has never being a time that I wanted to crawl through my computer to give you a huge. Bethany, give yourself some grace, you are going to one of the difficult periods of all time. And nobody would blame you if you take a breather. Focus on yourself, your men and Penny. Read some of those romance novels, and watch those feel good shows. Now that the book is out, it is time to think about you.
Sending all the love. And I pray to every God/Goddess that would listen.
Thank you Nathalia, I really appreciate it
thank you for sharing, i've gone through this as well and this made me feel less alone. so sorry that this happened
So sorry to hear that you’ve experienced this too, it’s heartbreaking. I’m glad we can encourage each other and know we’re not alone ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss, and my thoughts are with you and your family.
Thank you Caroline, I really appreciate that
Sending you lots of hugs and healing vibes, Bethany. 🫂🙏 Congratulations on your book release.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that
Continuing to pray for you all. I think your transparency will help a lot of people. I’ve had two miscarriages, and I remember feeling all alone in the loss.
I’m also very excited for the omnibus and bonus chapters. I agree the secret curse is your best book yet ❤
Thank you Courtney, I really appreciate that. So sorry you’ve experienced this feeling as well and thank you for sharing so we can encourage each other. Also that means a lot to hear that about the story, thank you!!❤️
Sending you so much love and hugs. Cry it out. There are no words.
Thank you ❤️
I am so proud of you for openly sharing your faith through this. Isn't it such a comfort when God shows Himself to us in the heartbreak? My heart breaks for you and your family. I haven't personally experienced a miscarriage but I have had people very close to me go through it and I know it is not only a physically horrific experience but one that takes an incredible emotional toll. I'm glad to see that you found something to help you cry it out. I had a similar experience in 2020 by watching Zooey's Extraordinary Playlist while losing my grandma to cancer. I cried a lot for her and processed my grief with that show. Art is so fantastic in that way. We can share and experience grief and love and joy and pain together. Sorry this is long-winded. I hope your book release went well and you are seeing God's grace in your life every day of this journey. Praying with you
Thank you Bekah, that means a lot and I really appreciate the encouragement and prayers ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I know it must not be easy to be so vulnerable on camera and also in the "public eye." I admire you a lotttt and watching this also made me feel empowered, too, in a way that I can't really express in one comment. I hope you're feeling better and I can't wait to start this series
Thank you Kelley, that means a lot to hear and I really appreciate it ❤️ (and hope you enjoy the story too!)
I admire your bravery for sharing your story with us. As a mother, my heart breaks for you and I'm sending you a huge virtual hug.
Thank you, I really appreciate that ❤
There really aren't any words that do justice to the feeling that comes after a miscarriage. I've been through more of them than I care to count and one of the things that helped me through was that I had friends who understood (because of their own experiences) and they reminded me that it was okay to not be okay for awhile. It takes time to work through the grief. Some days will feel pretty normal and others might be rough. You can still enjoy a beautiful sunset (or a book release), even if you cried in the shower earlier. And it's okay to cry in the shower, even if you were feeling good before. You do the best that you can in any given moment and remember to be kind to yourself. Sending you a virtual hug and wishing you nothing but blessings for the rest of 2024.
Thank you, Lacy, that means a lot to hear. So so sorry that you went through those experiences. Thank you for sharing with me, I really appreciate it ❤
I have nothing but admiration for you speaking up and also showing your vulnerability in the process. As a member of your discord, I’m happy that work can be therapeutic and feel like you’ve given us so much via the membership that I hope we can give you a little back wit support in these times. Sending loads of love your way ❤
Thank you so much, that means a lot and I really appreciate the encouragement ❤️
Having lost our first... sending you huge hugs. There aren't any words. I can only send you the biggest, gentlest, kindest, warmest hug that I possibly can. You do what you need to do to take care of you. The writing will be there, waiting, and the healing to go with it. When you are ready.
Thank you Jenna, I really appreciate you sharing and that means a lot to hear ❤
Hi, I discovered your videos about two weeks ago and I’ve enjoyed them so much! This video though! Props to you for having the courage to do this!
My wife and I have been married for 15 years and while we might have 6 healthy children, it took us 24 pregnancies to get there! Being a husband to someone who had so many miscarriages I can somewhat relate.
Thank you for the video! I hope your book launch continues to do well and your kickstarter does also.
Keep the faith sister. Pray until you have nothing else to say! There is so much I would love to share with you, but I understand I’m a stranger. I pray for your success and hope you can find the happiness you desire.
I originally watched for some advice as I am trying to self publish this year with my debut novel. Thank you for your videos, and may the Lord continue to bless you.
Thank you so much, that means a lot to hear. So so sorry you and your wife went through those experiences, I can only imagine and I really appreciate the encouragement ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know sharing is probably very hard to do but I am sure you are helping someone else that needed to know they are not alone while hopefully unloading the load you are carrying. Sending you thoughts and love! Take care of yourself Hugs!
Thank you Nicole, I really appreciate that ❤️
Sending hugs. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you Beth ❤
I'm so very sorry for you. I always love watching your videos and don't usually comment, but wanted to say you aren't alone. I had a miscarriage about 5 years ago when I was about 9 weeks, as well. It's heartbreaking and confusing and so very painful, in body and spirit. Sending you a huge hug.
Thank you Sarah, I'm so so sorry you had to go through something similar as well. Thank you for sharing and for the encouragement
I'm praying for you and your husband as you walk through this dark time. As someone who also has pcos as well, i know that something like this can be all the more devastating.
Thank you, I really appreciate that ❤️
Im praying for you and your healing as well as your husband. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your heart with us. ❤ i have PCOS and am trying to conceive but have never had a miscarriage so i can only imagine what youre going through. Just know youre not alone and im praying. God hasnt forgotten you. Hes teaching me that He still listens even when we feel He doesnt hear our prayers.
Thank you Joanna, that means a lot ❤️ and I agree we’re growing stronger through trusting God during these times. I also have PCOS and it takes forever, and I found a lot of helpful info on the CZcams channel “Natalie Crawford MD” if you’re curious, I thought I’d mention it. Praying we both have a breakthrough soon ❤️
PROCESSING WOW YOU ARE SO STRONG RIGHT NOW Know that we are listening
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that
Sending prayers to you and your family. Feel better soon
Thank you Tracy, I really appreciate it ❤️
Again, my condolences. Thank you for being so open, but sorry, I could not make it through the video though. I hope the book release goes through well though.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that. And no worries.
Sending you love. Going through this is not easy. It should not be taboo to talk about this. Please take it easy in the gym. I would not do any kind of weights for a month. Walking is best. Being a woman with three children and had a miscarriage before having my last two. You will find the strength to try again. Side note my husband went through the grief of the loss as well and it amazed me how much love he had for me that he felt shattered for a while. Sending love his way too.
Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate the encouragement and reminder that we’re not alone in this ❤️
I had a miscarriage in 1988. I had a toddler and worked full time. I just sailed on through. 25 years later, when my mother died, I hired a songwriting coach because it felt like there was a song trying to get out. Turned out to be about my miscarriage, all those years later. II appreciate that experience so much, AND I appreciate that you're feeling the feels in real time. Good on you.
Thank you, I really appreciate that ❤
Sending hugs, Bethany. Just grabbed my copy of TSC. ❤
Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing this real part of your journey and life with us. It's scary, but like you say, it's real and better to talk about it than hold it in sometimes. Yes, make time for yourself however that may look for you depending on the day
Thank you Desirae I really appreciate the encouragement ❤
And oh my goodness yes, it's soooo good, I'm in season 3 now and it still makes me cry every episode, it's so well done!
❤
Ahh I just want to look up all the writers of that show and hear their process or see what else they've worked on!
Praying for you, Bethany!
Thank you ❤️
Sending positive vibes and sending so much love and positivity
thank you Beth!
Just hearing about this Feb. 1st. I am so sorry Bethany. I can't help feeling that you need to give yourself a good rest. Or find a nice balance between your writing life and your family life if possible. I don't know if you keep a diary or journal, but this could be a good outlet, so to speak for you. I wish you and your family the best! And I will keep you in my prayers. You seem like a sweet person and I admire your writing accomplishments!
Thank you Sherry, I really appreciate the encouragement and prayers ❤️
Sending hugs. You're not alone.
Thank you Debbie ❤️
Bethany when did Zion start talking and walking?!?!?! Lol
I just remember seeing him as a wee little baby for the longest & now he's growing like a weed!😭
I thank you for sharing your story in a way that feels right and safe for you. I have my own fertility struggles/issues so I just wanted to let you know how inspiring you are.
Outside of writing thank you for showing us your vulnerable/human side.
You're loved and God will lead the way
Sending love & hugs
I'm sending you a hug. Miscarriage can be so incredibly hard. I went through four and didn't feel like I could share what was happening with me and my mental health really went down the tubes from trying to hid what was happening to me. Telling us what you are going through is healthy and let's us offer you the encouragement you need.
Thank you, I really appreciate that and so sorry you went through that experience ❤
Sending you all the hugs and prayers. 💜💜
Thank you Sarah, I really appreciate it ❤️
I am so sorry you went through so much pain. I believe everything happens for a reason. Don't worry B, when the time is right, something amazing will happen for you. When you least expect it, something amazing will happen. :) God loves you, no matter what. :)
Thank you ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this heartbreaking time. When you mentioned the anchor, I thought about how you can be the anchor to other individuals who are going through the same experience. I don't know if that is something that you can do now or give it more time. I wish I had the perfect words for you. I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers.
Thank you Samantha, I really appreciate the encouragement
Oh Bethany, I'm so sorry that another sweet baby is in heaven. I lost my little one at nine weeks too. Sending all the love.
(Oh, and I love your current bonus scene, but I also love the idea of a scene from Koda's perspective)
Thank you Lesley, that means a lot ❤️and I’m so so sorry you had to go through a similar experience, that’s heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing with me so we could encourage each other that we’re not alone
Dear Bethany. I usually don't comment. I am sorry for you loss, what you went through sounded so terrible. I think you are so strong by focusing on your creativity through all of this. Sending you warm thoughts and light.
Thank you ❤️
Big hugs Bethany. I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks for my second pregnancy as well. It's so hard and you're right. No one talks about it and we should. Take as much time as you need to heal. The books will still be there when you feel better.
I’m so so sorry you went through a similar experience, thank you for sharing and I really appreciate that ❤️
Oh the overwhelming never ending reckless love of God 💜
Bless you, girl.
Thank you ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost twins years ago. One we lost at 7 weeks and the other held on until 17 weeks. It was such a painful experience. You are in my prayers. ❤
I’m so so sorry to hear that, that’s heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing and for the prayers ❤️
Dearest Bethany, thank you for sharing this vlog and being so transparent in your journey. It's the reason I LOVE your channel and will continue to show my love and support.
I have no idea why miscarriage is such a taboo topic and I feel like the more we discuss it and normalise its existence, the less women will feel shame and stigma surrounding it. Hugs from across the internet :)
My sister had my nephew when she was 31 years old and is now pregnant with his sibling at 36 (we will meet him or her in July) and as someone who is still single and childless at 43, I've feared miscarriage for both her and myself.
I'm also struggling with my faith journey but seeing you hold onto to hope - even if you don't know why - has inspired me to hold on to God in spite of my dire circumstances. This is realness and being a successful writer isn't just about writing and promoting books - it's about things like these as well which is also vital to document.
May God's richest blessings be upon you, your husband, Zion (who such a chatty lil cutie), and Penny :)
P.S. I've certainly done the twisted pamper leads to peeing all over the place schpeel more than I'd like to admit - no shame, we're all family here and this is a safe internet space.
Thank you so much Avi, I really appreciate that. So glad we can encourage each other through the hard times. ❤️
Praying for you, Bethany.
Thank you Dana
Hugs. I suffered 2 in 2022 and am holding my rainbow baby. Best wishes to you and your family. I was told after having pcos that my first one was due to low egg quality. Unfortunately it happens and it is so upsetting. Please take care of yourself. Its not taboo. People just don't want to talk about it because not everyone understands
So so sorry to hear that, thank you for sharing and for the encouragement, I really appreciate it!
Praying for you and your family Bethany
My heart broke for you guys. I've lost 2 little ones, one at 12 weeks and the other at 18 weeks. They crushed me. It took a long time for me to heal but I have 2 sweet boys now and while I do think of the ones we lost, the pain is not so sharp. Take care of yourself ❤
Thank you, so so sorry to hear you went through that. Thank you for the encouragement, I really appreciate it ❤
@BethanyAtazadeh thank you. It is definitely a hard journey but you will make it through to peace and healing. Hug Zion a little tighter and have faith 💕 wishing you the best.
Been there. 12 weeks. Started on Father's Day. Your body will try again.
I'm so so sorry Tiffany. Sending hugs
Still praying for you and your family
Thank you Tiffany
Praying the Lord provides you sunshine and a beautiful healthy baby once you have recovered.
Also- I just bought the series. I look forward to it!
Thank you
❤❤❤Prayers for you and your family. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much ❤️
I remember seeing your Instagram post. I wish you all the best
Thank you Julianne
@@BethanyAtazadeh of course :)
I miscarried twice, one before my first at 11 weeks and one before my second at 5 weeks.
I know the feeling ❤❤ my kids are 14 and 12 now ❤
I’m so so sorry you had to go through that, thank you for trusting me enough to share and help us both feel less alone in it. ❤️
Bethany, once again (I was one of the many people who replied to your Instagram post), I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It's absolutely heartbreaking that you had to go through this, but, at the same time, it's heartwarming to see so many people support you in such a difficult time in your life. -AAC
Thank you Aaron, I really appreciate that
Hugs! We luv u❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Sending love and hugs ❤
Thank you ❤
You have a God who sits with you in your grif and is there to help you stand up and walk though it when you are ready. We are standing with you.
Thank you Mary Grace
Praying for you every day, friend.
Thank you Sarah ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sorry... there's nothing I can say to take that hurt from you, but I'll definitely pray for you ❤
Thank you, that means a lot ❤️
Thank you, that means a lot ❤️
Zion got so big! When did the baby turn into that sweet chatty munchkin? You raised a whole baby into that cute boy mama. You remember that. It doesn't mean what happen didn't happen but Zion is here. He is beautiful and wonderful and you brought him into this world. Don't ever lose sight of that.
Haha right? He's grown up SO fast, it's amazing that he's already two. He's such a beautiful blessing during a hard time for sure. ❤
You are a strong and beautiful soul, God remembers you.
Thank you Esmeralda
Wow, this video Wow, this video brought up emotions I haven't felt in years. My first pregnancy was ectopic. After that, I went through seven miscarriages before finally having my seven babies. The ways of the Lord in our lives can be mysterious.
I vividly remember asking my doctor why my uterus couldn't hold my babies. He admitted to not knowing, suggesting that sometimes "Mother Nature" deems it an unviable fetus, leading to a miscarriage. This explanation always lingered in my mind, and I struggled to comprehend it until...
When my third child turned 19, he was diagnosed with a severe mental illness. Astonishingly, my fifth child faced the same diagnosis at the same age, despite no prior history of mental illness in our family. It's heart-wrenching to witness two high-achieving children lose their grip on reality. Fortunately, they have now found effective medication, but I wouldn't wish this experience on any parent. I mention this because, during a discussion with numerous doctors who ran tests on them, a few mentioned that such conditions might be detected earlier in pregnancy and naturally expelled through miscarriage.
While I don't subscribe to the concept of "Mother Nature," I believe in God and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, trusting in His perfect will for my life. We may not always understand why God allows certain things to happen, but we know He is in control, that He is the giver and taker of life, and that everything occurs under His loving hands if we are His children.
The last miscarriage brought profound sadness, compounded by the traumatic cleanup experience. Nightmares and night sweats haunted me for months. My mentor, Elizabeth Elliot, gave me her book, "Do The Next Thing." Initially taken aback by her gift and her suggestion for me to move on, I found its wisdom true. While I took time to grieve, I also immersed myself in other obligations despite the enormous void in my heart.
Allow yourself the time to grieve, find solace in prayer, cry out to God, listen, and gradually move forward. You may never fully overcome it, but you'll learn to live with it.
Please accept my sincerest condolences 😔
Thank you ❤
God bless your heart and your family Bethany. You have been inspiring me to write since 2020 and even though we haven’t met I have a protective nature over you. It might be because we’re fellow Capricorn sister idk lol but thank you for trusting us to see this side of you and inspiring me constantly. All the love and prayers 🫶🏾42:06
Thank you so much ❤️
Hugs n loves Bethany. I think we dont talk about it because women for hundreds of years was the glue of their family keeping everything running. There was no time to confide in others and grieve in that way.
Very true. Thank you!
Hi friend. I know that's what most of your followers think of you Bethany. You're someone near and dear to our hearts.Before my oldest was conceived, I had a miscarriage. I've always been open to share this fact. I remember the questions and uncertainty, and you're 100 % correct in that it's like birthing pains. Trust is never easy for some of us, and when you go through this type of pain and grief, it can make it even more difficult to trust. Even a God who we know loves us and wants the best for us. That being said, I encourage you to continue to place your heart in His hands and trust that His ways are higher than ours and His thoughts are higher than ours.
When I was going through it, my pastors wife told me that she had a miscarriage and she likes to think that she'll always have a baby. And one day she'll get to see them and meet and love on them. Maybe that's not as comforting as it was to me, but if it is... I hope you take it to be just that. A comfort. This time feels like you're alone, and your family is alone, but just remember, you are NEVER alone. Not even in this grief. Because, I know that I'm grieving your baby too and I guarantee others in this circle alone are feeling the pain with you. We may not be feeling it the same, but we are standing, and crying and falling on our faces before the Lord, with you.
Thank you Rachael, that means a lot and I really appreciate the encouragement and prayers ❤️
Also, funny story (because you twisted your baby's diaper), one time my husband one time forgot the diaper all together 🤣. I put it on backwards one time and was so confused about where the straps were.
I’m glad I’m not the only one haha, that’s awesome :)
I’m so sorry sweetheart. I’ve been thinking about you a lot since you talked about it in your newsletters. My religious beliefs are different, but I will be thinking of you xx
Thank you Natalie, I really appreciate that ❤

Thank you Jeremy, I appreciate that
