For One Grieving Infertility

I recently came upon a site called The Rabbit Room, it was shared by our pastor. Another link was on that site to a site called “Every Moment Holy” – as I scrolled, the first thing I saw was something written on infertility, so naturally, it caught my attention. I’ll share the writing and link below…it speaks for itself and I pray it’s a help to you as well.

You search me and know my unbearable barrenness,the bitter shards of disappointment I carry,and each craving in the cavern of my heart. Time wastes away, my tears dry up, and still the ache remains.

INHERITANCE of TEARS

By Jessalyn Hutto When was the last time you heard anyone talk about the topic of “miscarriage”? Me neither! That’s part of what M.I.A.2Hope is trying to do – make this an “ok” topic to talk about – online, in public, with friends and family and in houses of worship.  Statistically, miscarriage occurs in 10-20% of all clinically viable pregnancies (March of Dimes).

I’ve not had much success.  Recently, I was told of the book Inheritance of Tears by Jessalyn Hutto. Mrs. Hutto authored this book in 2015 from her own life experiences and a deep study of scripture as related to grief and God’s goodness.

M.I.A.2Hope Interviewed by Lauren Magazine

M.I.A.2Hope’s website recently finalized a complete makeover! Literally, every page is updated, 2 online store fundraiser sites added, more resources listed – even this blog is new! We could not have done this on our own and we were blessed to connect with Mrs. Lauren Correa who undertook this huge task and completed it to perfection! While working through all the updates, we got to know Lauren. We saw that she’s got a huge heart for serving others and for empowering women. She provides resources, shares her faith and gives a platform for others to share personal stories about their journey through life. Much of this work is done via her online Lauren Magazine. In many ways, our mission runs on parallel tracks. As a culmination of our website update, Lauren graciously interviewed Wendi and Cliff to chronicle M.I.A.2Hope’s history and mission. She then published the interview in Lauren Magazine. […]
