I survived having five miscarriages. This is what all that pain taught me about hope
Fox News
When you’ve experienced pain or trauma of any kind, it can feel safer not to embrace joy than to hold something that might break.
One of my griefs amidst the chronic loss I experienced was not only the sting of the loss itself but also my refusal to embrace joy when it came. Hope is not a denial of the cost. It honors the painful reality but does not fall to fear because it knows that what we can see is not all there is. Hope celebrates God’s promises and delights in what is possible with Him.

What if my dreams only lead to disappointment? What if my hope only leads me to heartache?
