The healing journey of miscarriage and pregnancy loss with special Guest- Natasha Carlow- Episode #59

Today I have my special Guest- Natasha Carlow Author and she bravely shares her story of overcoming pregnancy and miscarriage loss in her book, "Happy Tears and Rainbow Babies". Natasha wants to create a safe space where families can openly discuss issues of miscarriage, loss, faith, God, parenthood, love, friendship, and even business. My family definitely isn't perfect but each day we pick ourselves up and start again.

My Story

While pregnant with my rainbow daughter in 2015, I began wondering if and how I would tell her the story of how we got here. Would I want her to know she wasn't the first baby that I held in my heart? Would that even be an appropriate conversation for us to have one day? For months I struggled with that question and even if I did, what would that conversation sound like?

All these questions seemed to fall away the minute they placed her in my arms. As I held her, I knew that I needed to tell her the story of how we came together. She deserved to know that she had brothers and sisters and that my love for them prepared me even more to love her.

However, even though the story lived in my head since that moment, it was not until I gave birth to my son in 2016 that I was able to put pen to paper (more accurately fingers to keyboard) and write. Happy Tears and Rainbow Babies which began simply as a love letter to my children became my very first children's book and I cannot wait to share it with everyone.

Someone out there needs to know they are not alone and that they can survive. Perhaps you are a parent or friend of someone trapped in an abusive relationship and need to know how to help. Message me privately for support or help. My goal is to share awareness, offer empowerment, and educate others about emotional traumas and domestic abuse.

This is the first of many episodes to come where I will share my story but also stories of courage and healing from Survivors, Coaches, to Therapists/Counselors.
