I wanted to answer exactly WHAT the purpose of my called ministry is.
I want to be an ADVOCATE for moms who are going through stillbirth.
I want to REDUCE the number of divorces/suicides caused by this tragedy, just by being there.
I want to reduce the amount of trauma this kind of tragedy can cause, by providing the mom with control over her birth, hope for her future, and resources.
I want to witness for them, witness the care they recieve, and reassure them that life goes on just by being there.. as my nurse was there.
I want to assist them in rainbow births... that is, the birth of a subsequent child... as the fears will come back during that time.. and PTSD tends to overcome during that time. I want to make their experience in labor PRECIOUS.
I want to assist parents and family member in grieving.
And more than that, I want to show them God's love, grace, and compassion.. just as my doula did for us.
Selfishly, I want to meet my daughters new friends, face to face... and I want to know them by name.
If anything... I want to give these families hope in HIM. In his plan for their lives.. plans to prosper, and not to harm... plans to give them a future..
If I can give that to ONE family... every moment of my life from now on, will be validated.

I can't WAIT for this journey.
