115. Navigating Pregnancy Loss: Marriage, Faith & Pregnancy After Loss with Rachel Ramirez

The Joyful Mourning - A Podcast for Women Who Have Experienced Pregnancy or Infant Loss

Today I have the privilege of interviewing Rachel Ramirez about her story of motherhood. Rachel has experienced 3 miscarriages and walked through the subsequent journey of grief and in this episode she is sharing all that she’s learned along the way.

We spend time talking about what miscarriage was like for her and what she wishes others understood about pregnancy loss and what encouragement she would give to a woman who has just experienced a miscarriage.

We talk about marriage after loss and how to navigate the inevitable differences in the ways partners grieve. Her wisdom about marriage and how to love your spouse while grieving is incredibly encouraging and practically helpful.

We also talk about pregnancy after loss and how she made the decision to try again even after multiple losses.

We spend a significant amount of time talking about Rachel’s faith journey. Her answers to my questions about how to navigate faith after loss might surprise you and I am certain they will encourage you.

If Christianity and the Bible and God is something you have never thought about much or are exploring for the first time we have words of hope for you too in this episode.

Whether you are searching for answers about God, angry at God, confused by Him, disappointed in Him or running to Him, or some combination of those, make sure you listen all the way to the end of this episode to hear Rachel’s analogy of God amidst grief -- it’s incredibly hope-filled and encouraging.
