SUMMARY:

“The Faith Within” is my candid truth—plain and unvarnished—about my painful, devastating, and difficult journey of losing my (and my husband’s) first child. When you lose a baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or at or after birth, you can also lose your hope of being a mother. My sincere hope is by sharing my journey of losing a child, with its many winding and uncertain paths, the tools I sought out, adopted, and fully utilized during my journey to reach a place of healing and acceptance will bless, encourage, and enable the reader to embrace their journey of losing a child, conquer their fears, and begin a deep excavation into the bedrock of their soul to tap into their faith within. To the tired, weary, and faith-tested mothers (and fathers), “You are not alone.” In this book, I share one of the most difficult journeys of any parent—losing a child. This is my reality—no matter how hard I try to erase the thoughts; I lost my baby. I invite you into my reality. The information I share in this book, though difficult to pen at times, I hope leaves you in a place where you can find peace, healing, and the strength to move forward as I share from my perspective: 

- The feeling of loneliness after the loss 

- Walking through the grief 

- Starting the healing process 

- Educating yourself 

- Overcoming self-blame 

- Silencing the shame to share your story 

- Having hope after loss 

- Having the faith to move forward
