Heal Your Heart After Pregnancy Loss with Pam Vredevelt
You may be surprised to know that approximately 1 million expectant mothers suffer a pregnancy loss every year just in the United States alone. 1 out of 4 pregnancies ends prematurely in miscarriage, stillbirth, or tubal pregnancy. Why do some people bounce back after a tragic loss when others don't? What is it that empowers them to keep moving forward through grief with a sense of hope?
Pam Vredevelt, Love and Loss Expert, Professional Therapist, and best selling author, wrestled with these questions after losing her first baby halfway to term, and years later, her sixteen-year-old son following a car accident.
This is something that touches close to home for me. We lost two babies in between our daughter and son. I never realized how common miscarriages are until we went through that experience. It is a devastating loss. Both for a mother and a father. So my prayer for today’s show is to give hope and comfort to those of you that have experienced a loss like this and also to give wisdom and understanding to those who haven’t in case someone you love goes through this.
