A dear friend of mine found out yesterday at a midwife appointment that her baby’s heart has stopped beating. She faced that haunting news, staring at an ultrasound screen, with her two young sons nearby. Her doctors are planning to do a D&C on Tuesday.
If you’ve lost a pregnancy, you know how her heart is breaking right now. If you have little ones, you know that she is busy and stressed and doesn’t even feel like she has time to process her grief. If you’re a person of faith, please pray for Courtney & Ryan, and their boys Nolan & Simon, this weekend.
