Cassie Everts, author of Nursery of Heaven: Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss in the Lives of the Saints and Today’s Parents, discusses her personal experience with miscarriage and stillbirth and resources available for parents going through these losses. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the grief and pain associated with pregnancy loss and highlights the need for support and healing.

Cassie also explores the role of the saints in providing comfort and hope to those who have experienced infant loss and offers practical suggestions for healing, such as naming the baby, having a prayer service or burial, and creating remembrances. Cassie encourages others to be present for those who have suffered a loss and to acknowledge the dignity and worth of their child.

Takeaways

* Pregnancy loss is a painful experience that often lacks support and resources, even in the Church.

* The saints can provide comfort and hope to those who have experienced infant loss.

* Acknowledging the grief and pain of parents who have suffered a loss is important.

* Being present and supporting those who have experienced a loss can make a significant difference.

Thank you to this week’s sponsor:

* Catholic Women in Business provides business owners, professionals, and leaders with the educational and spiritual resources they need to excel in their vocation to business.
