We had been trying to have a baby for a year when we found out we were pregnant for the first time. We were so excited but sadly that excitement did not last long which leads to why I am here telling this story. Almost to the end of my 1st trimester I got pretty sick, my blood pressure dropped, and we were worried so we went to the doctor to find out that I had covid, our first ultrasound was a week later in which the doctor very absent mindedly told us “there’s no heartbeat, come back in 1.5 weeks to check for viability” as she walked out the door leaving us no time for questions or to process what just happened. The wait was agonizing and I started spotting shortly after this appointment, deep down I knew things weren’t right but it was still another week after the appointment confirming miscariage that it happend at 12 weeks along, according to my records the baby only ever measured at 6 weeks and a few days. In the midst of all this, my husband’s truck broke down, we had electricity go out of half our outlets in the house, the dishwasher stopped working among other things, and I had two funerals to attend including that of a coworker and friend who was far too young. To top it all off, as I felt I was somewhat begining to recover emotionally (physically was a whole nother story that took 3 months) I found out that my company was being bought out and there were a lot more changes coming my way. I would not have made it through this season without the support of my loving friends and my loving God. Being given this pendant at this point in my life was a reminder that I was not alone nor fighting alone everytime I wore it. I pray for peace, strength, and blessings for all who have worn and will wear this very necklace and I hope that the next friend finds as much comfort in it as I did as it helps remind them they are not alone in their journey through this season. There is light coming again ❤️
