You’re here. Thank you for stopping by. You are welcome here with open arms. Love and grace are offered here. This is a safe place. LOVE ABIDES HERE.
You have found your way to this site for a number of reasons. You have suffered a pregnancy loss – be it recent or in the past. You’re ready to try getting pregnant again but you’re afraid that you’ll lose another baby. You want to support a friend or loved one who has experienced pregnancy loss but don’t know how. You’re just curious. You are looking for encouragement. You want to know that you are not alone.
LOVE ABIDES HERE was created in response to the very limited online resources available to women who have experienced early pregnancy loss. Since miscarriage is so common, why are there limited resources?? It doesn’t make sense – at all. This is certainly not a site where scientific information or medical advice will be doled out. Nope. It will offer a few different paths. It’s a personal journal where Dee Greene Hill shares her story about her multiple miscarriages as well as the complications surrounding her pregnancies. In sharing her very lengthy maternal journey, she hopes that it will help other women who are dealing with similar experiences.
There will also be lots of links to some great information that you may find useful (check out the Resource Center for that). Do you sometimes feel like you’re not getting as much information as you need from medical professionals? There are alternatives that we’ll share. Ultimately, the site is providing a voice to women who are suffering in silence or unable to speak openly about the topic of miscarriage. Sometimes people find it hard to even say the word. Let’s say it together. M-I-S-C-A-R-R-I-A-G-E. It’s ok to say it. If you’ve had a miscarriage, it’s ok to say that you’ve had one out loud. You are NOT abnormal. It doesn’t make you any less of a woman for having one. Unfortunately, miscarriage happens. To A LOT of women. So, why not start talking about it? This topic has been viewed as taboo for way too long. We want to debunk the myths and shatter the stigma surrounding miscarriage – FOR GOOD.
This site will also talk about the complications around why miscarriage happens as well as how you can attempt to heal from it after it happens. You may not be able to share your hurt, despair, brokenness, grief and anxiety to others because they simply don’t understand. We are here to shed light on these dark, silent journeys that so many women have faced and will continue to face for years to come. But, hopefully it doesn’t have to continue to be dark and silent. If society starts to truly understand how deeply pregnancy loss affects women (and men) and extend love when it’s needed most, healing can happen. Shame and embarrassment can be erased. In the meantime, we offer this space as a place where LOVE abides. ❤
The world loves to shout about success and good fortune, but we seldom speak of our secret sorrows. It’s time to break the silence and allow women the freedom to tell their stories. #metoo #loveabideshere
