This is a very beautiful list and a wonderful resource. Thank you for collecting it here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for these, it is just what I need to read tonight. I found out this weekend that I am miscarrying and my heart is broken.
ReplyDeleteOh no. Oh, I am so so sorry for your loss. I'll be praying for you and your whole beautiful family as you go through this pain. My heart hurts for you. Under the "Pregnancy Loss" link at the top there are several great resources if they could also be of any help. May God bless you and carry you through this.
DeleteI am losing my baby right now too and my heart is breaking in pieces as we have been trying to conceive for so long. Feel so powerless
ReplyDeleteOh, Lucy. I'm so very sorry. It is such a powerless and vulnerable feeling. Sometimes it literally feels like you're heart is breaking. Lifting you up in prayer. May your precious little one rest in Him always and may we meet him or her there someday.
DeleteThank you for all you have written - it is truly helping.
DeleteThank you for this scripture list. I wrote them down. We just lost our sweet son, Levi Benjamin, 3 days ago. I was 20 weeks pregnant when our doctor found no heartbeat. An ultrasound confirmed that he had passed. Our hearts are broken but I thank God that we know where Levi is, in Heaven with our God. We know, without a doubt, that we will be reunited with him again one sweet day. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteOh, Eileen. My heart is hurting for you right now. I am so so sorry for the loss of your Levi. What a beautiful name you chose for him! I pray that these words of His will grant you some comfort in your pain. I'll be praying for you and yes, I share that same hope that you will see your precious son again.
DeleteThese verses speak to my heart. Thank you for sharing them. My husband and I went to our appointment today and discovered no heartbeat. We are heartbroken. This was our second miscarriage in six months. But we trust God in knowing that He doesn't make any mistakes. It wasn't our time. Our little ones, though taken so soon, are with Jesus. Praying for you all.
ReplyDeleteI'm so so sorry, Sherri. I'll be keeping you in my heart these next few days and weeks and praying for you. May your precious children be interceding for you now in heaven.
DeleteThis really blessed me. From Monday night to this morning i have been going through the physical pain of a miscarriage. This is my sixth one over the past 18 and a half years. Through each one I have asked why and although I get no verbal answer I feel deep down that the road to a perfect baby is being paved. I am somewhat of the older group. I am 38 years old and have two wonderful sons. My husband has been amazing through each pregnancy. I put my trust in Jesus.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry. That is so heartbreaking. I hope these can bring you some comfort and I will pray today for you. God bless you.
DeleteThank you for this wonderful list. I am suffering my first miscarriage after having 4 beautiful children. I am dazed, confused and devastated. I need the Lord's comfort. Your list is exactly what I need right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for your loss. I'll pray for comfort during such a difficult time.
DeleteThat's exactly what my husband and I are going through right now. We have 4 beautiful babies, and going through our 1st miscarriage. This is so hard!
DeleteI'm so sorry, Marie. It is so so hard. May God grant you comfort and healing and may that precious little saint be praying for your family.
DeleteLove these prayers had a miscarriage in July 2015 after trying for over 2 years I have 2 wonderful boys but wanted to try one last time & never thought these would ever happen to me feeling this pain in my heart of lossing my baby is very heartbreaking and don't know why God blessed us and then takes your baby away but like my little one tells me we have a angel watching over us but trying to conceive again and have just been praying and praying that our heavenly Father will bless us with a healthy baby.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, Lisa. The pain is so very hard sometimes. God doesn't will death but He does allow it due to original sin. But I have to remind myself that these moments on earth are only a blink compared to eternity. May your precious little saint be praying for you and helping you meet him or her again someday in heaven. I'll pray for you.
DeleteThis is my favorite list of scriptures for processing loss. We lost our daughter Hannah during the second trimester in August of 2014. I was at a teaching conference and with no warning I started hemorrhaging. There are moments when I still feel so shocked by the suddenness of it. Pregnancy after a loss is also rather terrifying. I found out in February of this year that I was expecting again. Our beautiful baby boy arrived in October, but this joy doesn't replace the grief of the loss. People think you are crazy, but you can experience both emotions at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for the loss of your Hannah. How scary and awful that must have been. But rejoicing with you in the birth of new baby boy! We can definitely do both <3
DeleteI just miscarried Saturday. This is my third one. I was nine weeks this time, 3 1/2 months last time and just four weeks the first. Where there was two hearts beating, there is now just one very broken heart. I have two beautiful boys, 7 & 3 that need me. This will make me a better mother to them, but I'll never forget the ones lost, it's like I felt them leave me. God will carry me through once again.
ReplyDeleteMay God give you comfort and peace, Lucinda. I'm so so sorry for the loss of all your precious babies.
DeleteHey Mary - thank you for posting this. My wife miscarried about a couple months ago. We literally found out we were pregnant a week after my father passed away. Then a couple weeks after that, she miscarried. These verses really helped me and I just shared them with her. Do you have any resources for husbands in terms of support advice, etc as we go through this journey?
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. That must've been so difficult to go through so much all at once. I'm so sorry. I asked around and a friend suggested the book A Grief Unveiled by Gregory Floyd. I haven't read it myself but she said although the author of the book lost his 6 year old, it would also be applicable to those who have lost an unborn child as well.
DeleteAnother blogger's husband also just wrote this (today!) and I thought it was really powerful: http://happilyevaafter.com/his-loss-my-husbands-take-on-our-miscarriage/
I hope these help a bit. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Hi Mary, this list of scriptures is a blessing. My husband and I waited and prayed for a baby for so long. Then one week after our very first OB appt we found we lost our very first baby. 7 wks, 5+days. They couldn't find a heartbeat. Our hearts are hurting but we are comforted. I know everything God does, He does well. Requesting prayers that we grieve w/peace and enter into our next pregnancy w/joy. Free from fear as God is well able to perform all that He has said..
ReplyDeleteI'm so so sorry, Kiara. I'll be praying for you and your husband. All the time God is good even when it hurts.
DeleteI went with my daughter to her ultrasound at one day shy of 13 weeks. There was no heartbeat . It is absolutely heartbreaking to see my child go through this, as a grandma, I am also suffering from the loss of dreams of who this child would be in our family. I believe God will take this situation and strengthen us as a family, and draw us all closer to the Lord. Thank you for the list of comforting scripture
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for the loss of your grandchild, Cindi. The loss of a baby certainly affects the whole family. May He use this cross to bring you all closer to His love and resurrection.
DeleteI am going through the worst 3 months of my life. Jan 14th I had a miscarriage. Today exactly 3 months later I went for a ultrasound at 9 weeks and was told my baby has no heartbeat but hasn't told my body to get the baby out. I feel horrible, lost, confused, and heart broken. I don't know what to do.. I've been crying since I left my ultrasound and I feel so lost. These scriptures are great even though I cry while reading every one.. thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so so sorry for the loss of your babies. Your poor heart must be hurting so much. I'll be praying for you. May those precious little babies be in heaven praying for you, too.
DeleteThank you for finding these. I am bookmarking this page. Just went through back to back early miscarriages (didn't have ultrasounds, just the + pregnancy tests) and am losing a foster kitten now. No one understand the grief like women who have gone brought it. Praying for all you women that God blesses us with a child soon. Thank you again
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for the loss of your babies. It's true that it becomes a sort of initiation into the group of other mothers who understand the pain and grief. May God grant you peace and comfort.
DeleteThank you for this list. When the doctor told me that I was having a miscarriage, the first thing that popped into my head was "I lift my eyes unto the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." Ps 121:1-2. I would recommend that whole chapter. Could you clarify what wisdom 1:13-14 is? And the 1 Corinthians 51:57 is actually 1 Corinthians 15:51-55. Not trying to be nitpicky, I just don't want anyone to get confused :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Not sure how that got by me! I love your suggestion and what a gift that that was given to you at such a difficult moment. I'm so sorry for your loss.
DeleteThe book of Wisdom is from the deuterocanon meaning it's one of the seven books recognized by the Catholic Church as Scripture but not by many Protestants. It's a beautiful book.
(If you're interested in the differences, this link gives a lot more detail on why the Bibles are different: http://catholicbridge.com/catholic/bible_catholics_apocrypha.php)
I'm going through a miscarriage right now and my heart is breaking. Yeah I know I'm young but it still hurts like he**.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. It doesn't matter how old you are, a mom is a mom and your heart breaks the same way. Prayers for you <3
DeleteThank you for these scriptures. I literally just found out hours ago that my fourth little baby will stay with Jesus. I am so heartbroken but we have three babies and continue to see God's blessings. I fear the process and the pain is great but the Word of God will see me through. Thank you and God bless you for this.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for your loss, Meshel. I will say some extra prayers for you and your family.
DeleteI miscarried at 23weeks a week ago. I felt like God hit me very hard thus time around. It is devastating I cannot go a day without thinking about my boy. Thank you for the scriptures.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry. So very sorry. I'll be praying for you. May your little boy be in the presence of God and watching over you.
DeleteHey, there, Mary...thank you for this group of scriptures. I miscarried 4 days ago after 12 weeks of pregnancy. We are crushed to say the least. My search for comfort brought me here. Blessings on you...
ReplyDeleteI hope they can help a tiny bit with the heartache. I'm so so sorry for your loss.
DeleteThank you for this post of uplifting scripture. On April 15, 2016 we went for our big 20 week ultrasound to see our sweet baby. Myself, my husband and our 2 little girls (10 and 7) only to be told that our baby did not have a heart beat. That might I delivered our precious and perfect baby boy....Ryker Kyle Smith. We were all so heartbroken but so thankful that we got to hold him and love on him and hurry him in the cemetery that is only a mile away from our home. Mid June I learned that I was pregnant again (even tho we thought we had prevented conception) but at 6 1/2 weeks I miscarried. We are all heartbroken again and I'm just so confused. I have grown up in a Baptist church but I really like the scripture that you put in from the Catholic beliefs from wisdom. I know that God doesn't take our babies but that bad things happen bc of the horrible sinful world we live in.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so so sorry for the loss of your babies, Juleigh. How horrible. May Ryker and his little brother or sister now be in the Presence of God. May God bring you comfort and understanding and peace. I'll pray for you.
DeleteI miscarried a few days ago for the first time. I can't seem to stop crying every now & then. I tried to stay positive & relax. I was so looking forward to my 4th pregnancy. I miscarried at 5 weeks. I am 36 years old. It really hurts. It felt like a piece of my heart expelled from my body. I felt like I am in a cold & dark corner away from everyone. Was once in a sunshine, happy & excited! Now came to a halt to throw me back in the cold & dark place where nobody is. I feel broken. I am having trouble eating. I am not taking this very well. I am supposed to be 6 weeks this Thursday. Empty womb that's all. More like an empty hole on my womb. Your Scriptures are helpful.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so so sorry. It does hurt so very much and everything you are feeling makes sense. I'll be praying for you. You will never forget but the rawness of the grief softens with time. Let yourself feel what you need to and let these Scriptures soak in your heart and work to heal.
DeleteThank you so much Mary. May God bless you!
DeleteI am currently going through my first miscarriage. I have a beautiful, perfect daughter, and have been praying to get pregnant for a while now hoping to give her a sibling close in age to her. I am 29 and have been a Christian since I was a child. I am even in seminary now and still have the urge to question why this would happen and what I could have done wrong. I know my baby is in God's hands now and I can't wait to meet them someday, but it doesn't ease the heartache and tears now. I don't even have an ultrasound picture to remember them by since I was only 5-6 weeks. Thank you for the encouraging verses that is exactly what I was looking for. I pray for all of you who are going through the same heartache of a miscarriage, I never want anyone to have to experience this.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for the loss of your baby. I don't think it's wrong to ask questions in our grief. For me, at least, the grief and heartache and sense of this not being how the world is supposed to work help prove that we are made for more than what this life offers and that there was an original plan that went wrong. (If that makes sense!) I'll pray for you. I'm so sorry.
DeleteThank you for this list of scriptures. We have had a 22 week miscarriage in the family this week and as the only Christian (that I'm aware of) I wanted to find a resource that I can hopefully share with the others, especially the mother, as I don't know if they have a faith but I want to do everything I can to encourage them and use Gods word to bring them comfort. Thanking God that he has that precious baby boy wrapped in his loving arms right now. Thank you Mary for putting this together. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I hope His words can bring all of you some comfort and healing during this time.
DeleteMary, thank you for this wonderful list! My husband and I just went through our second miscarriage in six months. With our first loss, the Lord told me we lost the baby before we found out at our 8 week ultrasound and His peace and comfort was great. But this time it has been much more difficult both physically and emotionally as we were further along. Such a heartbreaking thing to go through and wish it upon no one. Praise the Lord for His Word and the comfort it brings!
ReplyDeleteOne passage that the Lord kept putting on my heart during this was Psalm 139:13-17. "For it was You who created my inward parts. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I will praise You because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful and I know this very well. My bones were not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was formed in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw me when I was formless, all my days were written in Your book and planned before a single one of them began. God, how difficult Your thoughts are for me to comprehend; how vast their sum is!"
It brought me so much comfort knowing the Lord saw my babies before they were formed and they are written in His book. Although we did not have the privilege of meeting them in this physical life, God created them, they are named and they are a part of our family. We are excited to meet them one day.
Hi Erika, thank you so much for sharing that full verse. It's so beautiful and so comforting to know that even if the world never sees our babies, God knows them and loves them infinitely. I'm so very sorry for your losses.
DeleteThank you for sharing the scripture list. I just suffered a 23wk loss, last week. It came out of no where and shocked us all. I'm trying to find solace in these beautiful verses as to not blame myself for the loss. This is my first miscarriage. But we are hopefully and will try again to complete our family.
ReplyDeleteOh, Nina. I am so very sorry for the loss of your baby. How heartbreaking. May God grant you peace beyond human understanding. I will pray for you and your family.
DeleteSorry for your loss
DeleteThank u for sharing,I need this so much two weeks ago I had a miscarriage I was expecting twins!GOD BLESS UR LIFE
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for the loss of your babies, Berenice. I will pray for you!
DeleteThank you
DeleteI know this post is quite old, but I stumbled upon it looking for words of encouragement from the Lord. I just lost my baby at 20wks 5dys. He fought to the end. Doctors said I have an incompetent cervix I pushed and gave birth at 5mos but he didn't survive. I named him Zion. Thank you for posting these scriptures they have really helped me
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for your loss and heartache. I know we talked over email but I just saw this comment here, too, and I have been praying for you <3
DeleteThis is a beautiful list. And the verse from Wisdom is particularly helpful as I too have been confused hearing all about "God's will" after losing our little Matthew Joseph at 18 weeks a few days ago. I'm so sorry for all of you who have experienced this as well and pray that we all find some peace until we see our little ones again!
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for your loss and grief, Stacy. May Matthew be praying for his family until you meet again in eternity <3
DeleteI just had a loss around 8 weeks. This is our 2nd loss in 3 months. We are devestated! This time around I am so scared I’ll never hear a newborn cry ever again. I am struggling to understand God’s will in all if this and I feel so abandoned by God right now, but I keep reminding myself that He sees the big picture and that there must’ve been a reason for all of this that we may never understand in this lifetime. I am comforted by a thought that I’ll see my babies in heaven one day.
ReplyDeletePlease, pray for us! Thank you for sharing these scriptures....
Oh, I'm so sorry for your losses. I'll pray for you...for your comfort, for your hope, for the gift of future babies. I'm so sorry for your heartbreak. (As an aside, it might be a good idea to have your progesterone levels checked right away if you have another pregnancy just to be sure that it isn't an issue.)
DeleteThank you so much for your comforting words and, especially, for your prayers!!
ReplyDeleteJust a quick question aboout progesterone - I haven’t had issues with it in the past. Could I have developed it all of a sudden?
Yes, it's definitely something that can come and go. I obviously don't know if that's the case for you, but for some reason felt like I should bring it up, just in case it is. It's worth ruling out, at least. I'm so sorry.
DeleteThank you so much, Mary!
ReplyDeletePlease, continue to pray for us!
Thank you for posting this list of Scriptures, Sister. I have found some comfort in these words, and in the comments from others. My wife miscarried a bit more than a month ago, and I am still occasionally broken anew by the hurt of a lost little one. She was 10 weeks along when it happened. We do have 2 other children, and we are talking about trying again a little down the road.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, it is hard to be the rock for the rest of the family, even when you yourself feel like everything is crumbling around you. But Faith sustains us all, and Jesus takes all our burdens, so that we can continue to be about the Father's business, even when we can barely see through our own tears.
God Bless You!
I'm so very very sorry for the loss of your precious baby. May Our Lord give you comfort and peace and may your son or daughter in heaven be interceding for your whole family.
DeleteI am so glad i came across this page as i was searching for Scriptures to assist me with the miscarriage i experienced now in May. I was 26 weeks pregnant and Michaela stopped kicking. I eventually went to the Dr. and the scan showed no heartbeat. I am so broken inside, i have never felt such pain in my life. I cannot stop thinking of her lifeless body laying on the bed after i had to deliver her. Oh this hurts so much. I kept questioning how did God allow this to happen. I find comfort in knowing that God did not create death and that my babygirl is in a better place. I will have to find the strength to continue living as i have 2 other children that need me everyday but will always keep Michaela close to my heart. Thank you for the Scriptures...they will be helpful. I am also glad that there is more to learn from you website...thank you.
ReplyDeleteOh, your broken heart. I'm so very sorry for the loss of Michaela and that you have to go through this. Praying for you and your family today. May He give you His supernatural grace to get through this and bring all of you together again someday.
DeleteThank you Mary, God bless you
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, I just want to say I thank God for you and your obedience. It's hard because I was just praying foe mothers who have lost a child a couple of months ago and stating how I couldnt6 relate and really felt the need to pray for their comfort. Now, here I am dealing with a "possible" miscarriage per the ER. I am constantly showing symptoms that seem to only be getting worse but won't have further news until tomorrow. I am heart broken. I have received several prophecies for a baby. I can't wrap my head around why God would promise a child, give a child, and take it back so soon, it hurts. But, I love him and trust that he knows best. I NEEDED this blog because this pain I'm feeling is like no other. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so so sorry for what you are going through and will pray that it is a false alarm. I hope and pray your baby is all right but if not that our Lord will bring you comfort and healing in this cross. And I hope you can find a provider and the care you need asap.
DeleteJust today I went to my 12 week ultrasound and was told by a doctor that I never met before that my baby was only measuring at 8 weeks and they couldnt detect a heartbeat. I have no symtoms of a miscarriage and still have pregnancy symtoms but I think I am just not ready to accept this fait. Thank you for these scriptures I really needed to hear some of these to put my mind at ease. (At least a little bit).
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry, Mel. I will hope for the absolute best for you and your baby that maybe somehow the dating is wrong and that everything is fine. But I am so sorry if it is the worst case. It is so hard. May God bring you His supernatural peace and comfort during all of this.
ReplyDeleteI lost my baby last April 27, 2019 at 10 weeks. The physical pain was bearable but the pain in my heart remains forever. There was never a day that I didn't think of my baby.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for your loss and heartache.
DeleteThank you for sharing these beautiful verses. I lost my baby last month, my 1st pregnancy. And im so heartbroken. The physical pain i felt is nothing compared to the emotional pain. Prayers, though, give me hope. I take comfort knowing my baby is in heaven. I named her Grace. Salute to all the mothers who experienced miscarriage. You're superwoman!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss and sorry I am just able to comment now. May Grace be interceding for you and bring you comfort in your grief.
DeleteThank you for sharing this beautiful passages. I just had my 2nd miscarriage last week Thursday and we have been trying for 7years. My heart is broken and I came across your page and it lifted my spirit. God bless you
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for what you have endured and for just being able to comment now. May your precious children be interceding for you and may God grant you a child to hold in this life.
DeleteI'm going through a miscarriage right now, first pregnancy and was at 9 weeks 5 days. I already had my first Dr. visit earlier this week but was supposed to have my first ultrasound today. I'm so devastated. I've wanted to be a mother for as long as I can remember, but only got married about a year ago (met my husband about 2 years ago at church). We conceived as soon as we started trying so I believed this was the baby I had prayed for for so long. I am older (37) so I worry about fertility and being able to carry a healthy baby to term. I keep reminding myself that everything is in God's timing and that we can't see the whole picture. I know it was nothing we did to cause it and there was nothing we could do. Thank you for these scriptures, I was looking for some verses to give me some comfort and hope and peace. I am praying as well, for me, my husband, the child we lost and hopefully for a child in the future. I'm so heartbroken and these scriptures help.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very very sorry for your loss. I hope you are cared for well during this time and given all the information necessary to make decisions you need to. Offering a prayer today for your comfort and for a future conception. May your little one be interceding for you before the throne of God.
DeleteThank you so much for this post- I am in the process of miscarrying our 4th baby and as painful and heart wrenching as it is, it's so nice to see this community where I'm not alone. We trust God has a plan and KNOW His plan is greater. Clinging to that as we suffer through this.
ReplyDeleteI'm so so sorry for your loss. May Our Lord continue to carry you through this and one day reunite you.
DeleteIt's been four weeks since I lost my baby boy. I was 28 weeks when my placenta abrupted but to two days before that I had a Doctor's visit and everything was good he was healthy I was healthy. My baby was stillborn but he was born I have never felt as hurt and betrayed by God so finding comfort in him was hard, since I suffered from 2 miscarriages and I thought this was finally my blessing but finding these scriptures will help me work and find my inner peace and the strength that I need and keep praying that one day I will become the mother I always want to be.
ReplyDeleteOh Kira, I'm so very sorry for your losses and heartbreak. I will pray for your comfort and healing. May the God of hope and mercy hold you close to His Sacred Heart now. May Our Lady of Sorrows who also experienced the death of her precious Son comfort you in your grief.
DeleteI lost my twins two days ago. The pain emotional and physical got me so hard I barely ate anything, and laid around a lot. I almost went to the hospital. This is my second miscarriage.
ReplyDeleteThese scriptures worked great. Thank you. Bless you.
Oh, I am so very sorry for the loss of those precious babies. May they be interceding for you right now. You will be in my prayers in a special way this week.
DeleteI have some wonderfully sweet friends that are Mennonites, and they recently lost their little boy by stillbirth or miscarriage. My heart goes out to them & I hate that covid keeps me from hugging them. But it cannot stop my prayers for comfort and healing. They don't use computers or internet much, if at all. But I think it would be a blessing to them to tuck these verses in a card for them to read. May I have your permission to print this out to give to them? Thanks for your consideration. Your sister in Christ, Jody
ReplyDeleteYes, of course! The download and printable is free for anyone to use or distribute. Thank you for being such good friends to them. I'm so sorry for their loss.
