Rebekah’s Story
After experiencing two miscarriages and struggling with infertility, I knew I needed help working through my grief. However, I was hesitant to meet one-on-one for support. My pride kept getting in the way. I’m a Christian and have a degree in counseling, so I should be able to handle this on my own, right? I ultimately knew that attitude was completely wrong so I decided to follow God’s leading and ditch the pride. I came to Piedmont Women’s Center and joined their Child Loss through Miscarriage support Bible study.
I went to the first meeting thinking that it would just be a one-time thing. I wasn’t really sure how helpful and practical it would be. However, by the end of that first meeting I was overwhelmingly excited to go through the six-week Bible study the PWC support staff had prepared for me. I realized that this was exactly where I needed to be and what I needed to work through my grief.
I was able to be vulnerable and real with no fear of judgment. I was open and honest about my thoughts and feelings. The support staff member was too, which really helped me feel at ease. The Bible study was so helpful. It allowed me to see things from a new perspective and brought questions to mind that have led me to a new and better understanding of who God is. I had several “lightbulb” moments and God has used the staff to bring more clarity to my life. They helped me make sense of my thoughts and emotions as I walked through this difficult time of grief.
I am extremely thankful that God led me to Piedmont Women’s Center and the Child Loss Support program. It has changed me for the better and I now view life through a more positive lens.
