I recently had a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks. Our grief is compounded because of infertility struggles. This podcast, coupled with Abbey’s book Held, were resources I had come across just months before & didn’t know I would need for myself, but am so grateful to God that I was able to access them right away. In the initial shock & grief I really needed someone to help me move toward the Lord & the comfort he offers us in his word. I needed protection from shutting down or falling into despair or seeking comfort in unhealthy ways. Her tender heart & voice were such a comfort & it was really helpful to hear from many other women’s experiences. The end of last episode, with Irene Sun singing “Abide with me” over the listeners really moved me I can see how the Lord has “looked after” me these past weeks (especially through this resource) & I am so grateful!! Have already recommended to a few others & will continue to recommend.

I was able to recommend this podcast and Abbey’s book Held to two ladies I was ministering to who had lost multiple children close together. When I miscarried my fourth child, after three healthy pregnancies, I first listed to this podcast and then one of those ladies gave me the Held book. This podcast and book were such an encouragement in the grief of losing a child. You’re not alone. God is with you and as we lean into his church, others can walk alongside you. I’m grateful this exists and pray this will continue to be a blessing to others.

I just had my first miscarriage at 14 weeks after 2 normal pregnancies. I’ve been struggling with the shock and wrestling with why God allowed this to happen. These podcast episodes have been so helpful in leading me back to God. And, I haven’t felt so alone through this grief. I wish there were more episodes. I also highly recommend Abbey’s book “Held.”

I am so thankful I was given the Held book by a friend after my miscarriage. Once completing the book (get it if you haven’t already!) I was searching for a podcast and came across this one. All of the podcasts are still so relevant today and I am so grateful to have found this to listen about conversations with women who have all walked the same road.

I lost my baby at 20 weeks in December and I have been looking for resources to help me through this time. I am so happy to have found this podcast. I just received the book today and I’m glad to have found what I’ve been looking for.

I recently miscarried our third baby at only 5 weeks, and I have been completely devastated and deeply grieved by it. It truly is grieving the fact that I lost my child. This podcast was sent to me, particularly the episode about fear for pregnancies after miscarriage, after I talked with a friend about my fears for future pregnancies. I’ve listened to several of the episodes now and look forward to hearing the rest! What a comfort it is to listen to other sisters in Christ tell of their babies’ passings and things that helped them through their grief. Having that validation for being able to grieve and not feel strange about it is a wonderful thing. Thank you so much for making this podcast and the Held book! They truly have been such great blessings to me during such a raw, grieving time. ❤️🤱🏻

After reading Abbey’s book “Held” following my miscarriage, I am so thankful to have found her podcast. I highly encourage women walking through miscarriage to give it a listen. Thank you, Abbey.

I am currently going through the turbulence of emotions entwined with the experience of miscarriage. I’m grateful for the reminders of who God is and how we are guided as Christians to walk our path to Him in even these most trying of times. The contributors are well thought out and Abby offers comfort through her knowingness of what women experience through pregnancy loss. The questions are extremely poignant and helpful and the answers and biblical references offer a place to turn once the podcast episode comes to a close. Thank you Abby, and, especially, thank you God.

I have experienced God’s kindness and tender care through the conversations and encouragement shared on Abby’s podcast. As I listen to this podcast I just weep and I thank God for the courage, compassion, and wisdom of Abby and the other women who join her in speaking about their personal experiences with the sorrow of miscarriage. Rooted in the truth of the Bible and so deeply comforting.

I am not even being 2 weeks out from finding out that my 12 week old baby’s heart was no longer beating but some of the deepest comfort I have found has been the truth and stories shared on this podcast. Losing a baby before you can ever hold it is isolating, lovely and intensely painful. Through the words of the woman on these podcast it has given me community with complete strangers. Thank you, Abby!

This podcast is a must listen for anyone who has suffered a miscarriage. Abby uses each of these interviews to point us back to Christ in our suffering. While I’ve shed many tears listening to these episodes, it has not only helped me grieve but also further place my trust in the Lord’s hands with the direction of my life. I have been so reminded of God’s goodness and love in the midst of my sorrow and this podcast has been a true help in that.

Abbey has done a phenomenal job recruiting encouraging, Christ-centered ladies who openly share their struggles with pregnancy loss and how God met them in their sorrows. It’s a refreshing reminder to look up to Him even when you don’t have the strength to lift your head.

I can’t thank God enough for bringing me to this podcast. We need more biblically-centered podcasts for the griefs of life, like pregnancy loss. Thank you so much Abby, for this. I’m eternally grateful to feel less alone and understood when I listen. The words are taken out of my mouth. God bless you, Abby and all who listen. We have a Father who sees, knows, understands and walks with us in this hard valley.

This resource has been a blessing from God as I’ve walked through miscarriage. Thank you for sharing compassion and truth. It has helped me begin the journey of healing and I am beyond grateful. Each episode that I’ve listened to has been thoughtful, theologically sound, gentle, uplifting, and practical.

I ordered the Held book the day after I found out I was miscarrying. Eager to find immediate biblical encouragement, I came across this podcast and am delighted I did. It has been such a comfort in some of the hardest days of my life. Each interview has validated my pain, made me feel not alone, and pointed me to Jesus. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the episodes. Thank you for such a life-giving resource!

I am almost finished reading the book “Held” and was wondering where I could turn next then I found this podcast. These have been my dearest friends and companions during this trial. I don’t feel judged.. I feel validated and free to cry while I listen and not rushed to get better. It has been so comforting. I’m incredibly grateful

What a wonderful resource to hurting women and friends of hurting women! So thankful for this podcast and the Held book. God has used it to meet me in my sorrow and encourage, comfort me

I’m about a week in to the “Held” devotional book and this podcast has been a lovely supplement to listen to while driving or doing chores. I also love being able to now hear Abbey’s voice in my head as I read her words... She is so soothing.

I am so thankful for the words of Abby and her guests. They cry with us, relate to us and point us to Jesus. A welcomed balm in a season of grief and mourning.

I found this podcast recently and I am still grieving the loss of our baby that I lost in my womb last Christmas. It has been so encouraging and validating and such a comfort to know that I’m not alone in my feelings and my grief. I just ordered the Held book and I am hoping that it helps me to feel a little less stuck in my grief.

Walking through the loss of my first baby has brought more pain than I could imagine. Shortly after our loss, I discovered the Held podcast and book which met me with scriptural truth, understanding and compassion when hearing other women’s stories, and the hope of Jesus. This gospel-centered space has helped me process restless thoughts and worries brought on by my miscarriage in the context of Jesus’ sacrifice and redeeming story. I cry at every ending prayer because the intercession and covering of these words are felt deeply and very meaningful to me in my grief. Thank you, Abbey and Held podcast team for your ministry. It has been a gift to me.

Thankful for what Abbey shares. It’s given me a lot of peace and it’s an easy listen considering the harder topics.

This podcast has been such a gift for those who believe and who are suffering pregnancy loss and miscarriage. Such wisdom and biblical insight through so much pain and loss. I highly recommend.

After walking through two miscarriages, this podcast has helped me on my path to healing. It’s focus on Biblical truth is so grounding and needed, and I have so enjoyed the hearing the personal stories of the guests that are on the podcast. I would definitely highly recommend this resource to others facing pregnancy loss or who know someone who has gone through it.

After spending almost a year trying my husband and I were thrilled to discover we were expecting our first child last Monday. By Thursday I was miscarrying. I have known women who have lost at all points, and I could have never imagined the weight of grief that wrecked me at five weeks. I found myself battling an onslaught of emotions that ranged from embarrassment/shame (like I had somehow cried wolf) to absolute anxiety/fear. Like this loss was a precursor for for future losses. I felt my hope fo future pregnancies disintegrate with my first. Because of the early stage of my miscarriage I was gently informed by my doctor that it was what they call a “chemical pregnancy.” It felt like the term stripped me of my right to mourn the little person my heart so deeply anticipated. I also struggled with feeling fiercely alone with my invisible loss. I chose to share with my SIL for prayer. She recommended your podcast, and I cannot say enough how much the Biblical truth and hope has encouraged me, while also validating the depth of my sorrow. Thank you for having the courage to share your story, and create a community of women who can come along others grief with understanding and a practical and biblical hope for the future.

My miscarriage began about 2 weeks ago and I’m still very much in the thick of it. Abby’s book, “Held” and this podcast have been so timely and exactly what my heart needs to hear at this time. I am so grateful for the truth these resources bring and how they make me feel seen in a lonely season.

This podcast has brought me a lot of practical comfort and encouragement as I walk through my second miscarriage this year. I appreciate how it is intentional in lifting our eyes to Jesus. This week’s episode (episode 9) was especially encouraging as I struggled accepting help in the wake of our second miscarriage, feeling guilt for needing help again 6 months after my first miscarriage. I’m thankful for the reminder that we are created to need help and that it is even good for the person helping us. And I’m thankful for the reminder that God is our ultimate Help (it reminds me of Psalm 121). I will surely recommend this podcast (and the book) to other ladies who walk through the sorrow of miscarriage.

Abby, thank you for this podcast. It has ministered to my soul and helped me heal. I’m hoping and praying for a baby soon , but trusting God’s timing. Thank you for episode 7!

I’m so thankful for this podcast. I have not experienced pregnancy lost, but I do have friends that have experienced it and I have found this podcast helpful as a friend wanting to support them in any way possible. I am dealing with infertility though, and this podcast has reminded me to trust in the Lord and His sovereignty. Thank you Abbey!

Thank you, Abbey, for your book and for this podcast. Two weeks after my second miscarriage, God is truly using your words and guest interviews to minister to my heart. Our God is still good and still trustworthy, and I am encouraged by those truths every time I listen. Thank you!

I can’t say enough good things about this podcast. We went through our 3rd miscarriage 6 weeks ago, and the pain has been so heavy. This podcast gave me an outlet to think through a lot of my emotions, and pointed me straight to the cross. This was such a needed resource because miscarriage does too often feel like a lonely grief.

I am incredibly thankful for this podcast. I lost my son at 21 weeks on August 25th of this year. I am still reeling from this recent loss. But this podcast is part of navigating the grief I am experiencing. And I am so thankful for godly wisdom that is specific to my loss. It was hard to find a podcast that was specific to both Christianity and pregnancy loss, but Held is exactly that.

After miscarrying days ago I can say this podcast is a resource that is needed. I’ve been searching google for a sound, realistic, and Biblically sound resource to help me, and was shocked to find not a lot out there. Even more shocked that there are barely any podcasts, much less one that is fully devoted to miscarriage. I was amazed at how many times Abbey or her guest nailed a thought I’m having or a feeling that’s being felt. It makes me feel less alone, and gives words to my grief. So thankful for this podcast as I walk through this and look to Jesus.

Every episode of this podcast is so saturated with hope and strength. Every topic is so thoughtfully chosen and every guest offers companionship through their story and the truth of what helps them have hope in the suffering and grief. I am so grateful this podcast exists and the book that accompanies it. Thank you, Abby for creating something so beautiful and good.

I’ve never had a miscarriage, but I understand the waiting and longing for a baby because of infertility. This podcast is a beautiful platform founded on the Truth. The episode with Gretchen Saffles was wonderful. It was full of scripture to use when you are struggling with understanding God’s plan for your family. I didn’t know how much I needed to hear what was laid on her heart by God. I definitely will be relistening in the future!! Thank you!

So incredibly thankful for this podcast. The Lord has used it to help me remember the truths of His Word as I continue on this journey of healing from the loss of my baby!

After losing two babies in the past year, I’ve struggled with thinking that I needed to be “over” or starting to move past these experiences more than I have. Hearing how other women, years later, still tear up and talk about their children that they lost with such love, has helped me understand that there isn’t a timeline that needs followed. After our loss, it was so hard to find things to point me to the truth and character of God and this podcast has been such a helpful resource. Can’t wait for the book!

This podcast is such a gift. Abby and her guests speak honestly and openly about miscarriage in a way that helps the listener feel seen and loved. She also points to the truth of scripture at every turn. Miscarriage is so isolating and heartbreak, but Held is a show that has come alongside me in my grief and reminded me what is true. I can not recommend it highly enough for women who have experienced miscarriage and for those who are seeking to love another touched by this type of loss.

I deeply needed this resource and am so happy that this podcast started. There are very few practical resources for women that have experienced miscarriage, especially for Christians. My heart had been healed tremendously through listening to this. Thank you, Jesus.

I am currently in a season of loss and grieving. This podcast has given me a glimmer of hope during this difficult season. Thank you so so much for this podcast.

Wow. I began listening to this podcast right before bed. It got late and I had to turn it off, but when my rainbow woke up around 4am I was excited because I got to finish the episode! I’ve experienced two losses back in 2015 and 2016 and have been blessed with two rainbow babies since, so by the grace of God, I am no longer in that deep season of grief that I once was. But this episode had the most beautiful way of taking me right back to the pain and finding some healing and validation I didn’t even know I needed. Early losses are so isolating, in my experience there often aren’t as many resources specifically for this kind of loss, so this podcast is a gift to all of these grieving mommas! And the icing on the cake is that the host has the most soothing voice. I wish I’d had this to listen to right after my own losses, but so thankful to have found it now!

After losing a baby to early pregnancy loss several months ago, I have struggled greatly with the overwhelming grief that comes with miscarriage. I’ve also been amazed that almost half the women I know have suffered one or more losses (something I was completely unaware of during my first two pregnancies prior to our loss). “Held” is a huge comfort to me and a much needed resource for the almost 1 in 2 mothers who have suffered a miscarriage.

I am so grateful for Abbey’s ministry and the gift of this podcast + book. She is humble, wise, and caring as she tackles a very tender topic. After experiencing the loss of our first child to miscarriage I have found myself searching for biblical resources on the topic and coming up somewhat short. Held feels like a gift from my loving Father as I continue to walk this road of healing. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you, Abbey!

I walked through miscarriage a year and a half ago and this podcast beautifully encapsulates the sensitivity and the vulnerability miscarriage needs. Abbey speaks and listens and asks with such tender God given grace. What an incredible resource to share with others as we walk alongside others deep in the trenches of grief from loss of life in the womb.

This is such a valuable and much-needed resource for women walking the heartbreak of miscarriage. It speaks biblical truth woven within real stories from real women. Although I haven’t personally experienced this type of loss, I have walked alongside many who have. I grieve with and ache to love my sisters well. It is a relief to have a tangible resource that offers biblical hope while addressing real, hard questions. Abbey brings a gentleness and tenderness to this subject that can’t be overlooked. You hear it in her voice and in her guests’ voices. I highly recommend it to those who have experienced miscarriage and to those who want to love women walking through this trial.

Thank you for creating this resource. After losing our identical twins last month, listening to this podcast feels like a balm to my hurting and tender heart.

This podcast tackles a topic that is raw and fragile for many women. Abbey is graceful and comforting as she navigates miscarriage & loss of life in the womb with her guests.

This podcast is packed with the freeing truths of scripture, and the gentle compassion of friends who have been there and know the way out. What sweet comfort to listen too as I continue to process my own miscarriage almost a year later.

Miscarriage is such a raw, vulnerable, and taboo topic. I am thankful for a Podcast that is willing to be open about the heartbreak of miscarriage and walk alongside women in the process of healing.

The book is such a needed resource and the podcast is just so special to be able to hear more details and specifics about the struggles and encouragements surrounding the experience of miscarriage. The podcast brings everything to an even more personal and relatable place.
