Mom’s Raw Post Shows What You REALLY Lose When You Have a Miscarriage

Statistics say that 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage…which means if you haven’t lost a baby yourself, you know someone who has. I have never experienced miscarriage, but have several nieces or nephews waiting in heaven that I have never met here on earth.

This past weekend whilst scrolling through my Facebook feed, I saw a post by a mom, Rachel Lewis, that perfectly encapsulated the devastating loss that is miscarriage, and how it’s often misunderstood by those who haven’t experienced it. I LOVED her words, which have been shared nearly 9,000 times on Facebook, and I wanted to share them with you here. The photo of Lewis’ daughter Ellie, in ultrasound and in living color as a smiling infant, TRULY drives her post home, but the words that accompany it are powerful as well. She says:

When you lose a baby in pregnancy, some people act as though you’ve only lost potential for a baby.
