How would you treat a friend during pregnancy loss? My guess is that you would treat her with love and gentle care!! This episode helps you to understand why it is important that we get to the route of our feelings, so that we can in turn show ourselves self-compassion!  You can find our e-book at www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis

You are a mistake maker - yup, I said that. As we go into a new year, embrace who you are in Christ and not your mistakes or failures. You won't be perfect. You can't be perfect. BUT you serve a God who IS! I also let you into a little secret about my name and the girl I am embracing in 2019!  www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/her_soulpurpose www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis

Sound harsh? We all have them. We can't ignore it. Let 2019 be the year that you give yourself permission to do your THANG, accomplish your dreams and do NOT quit because of your nay-sayers! This is your year! www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/her_soulpurpose www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis

The Christmas season can be a stressful and chaotic season. It can be a time where we remember grief and can get a little down. Remember to show yourself self-care - it isn't selfish to care or yourself. It's actually Biblical! www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis www.instagram.com/her_soulpurpose

It's easy to get so caught up in trying to conceive that we ignore the blessing of marriage that God has given us! I hope this encourages you to enjoy the season of marriage and having your husband ALL to yourself! :) www.hersoulpurpose.org

The holiday seasons are a great time to invite God into our season of life. Whether it is a barren season or a fruitful season, invite Him in. Allow God to bring purpose into every area of your life! All glory to Him and for Him! www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/her_soulpurpose

This time of year can be difficult. We have kids dressing up on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner. HSP wanted to remind you that your pain is understandable and welcome with God. www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/her_soulpurpose

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month can be a painful month, but take heart and know that God is with you! Let this be a month where you remember that you are not alone in this dear friend. www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis www.twitter.com/cryssieaddis

Discussing women who never had children, either because they chose not to or because they were physically unable to. There is no room for shame or guilt between women of God. www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/her_soulpurpose www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis

You are precious in God’s eyes and called for a purpose. We have to be ready for battle. Join me as I talk about Ephesians 6:12-18, putting on the armor of God.

The past few weeks, we have been discussing the five stages of grief. We are on the final stage, which is acceptance. You might always carry a bit of pain from your miscarriage, but you will come to a point where you have accepted the loss. This is the stage where you will begin to feel whole again and will be able to look back and realize how far in the grieving process you have come. www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis www.instagram.com/her_soulpurpose www.facebook.com/hersoulpurposepage www.twitter.com/cryssieaddis www.pinterest.com/hersoulpurpose

Bargaining is a stage that can bring on guilt and pain, but there is hope for you. Know that God is good and that you are not at fault for the past, present or future. It is hard to hear in the midst of bargaining and grief, but you must know that God loves you and is with you! www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis www.facebook.com/hersoulpurposepage www.twitter.com/cryssieaddis

Anger can be a dangerous place to be, but there is hope! Listen in as I discuss some of these ways on getting through this stage. • Confess your anger. • Analyze your anger and ask yourself why you are anger. • Remember whose you are. • Submit to God. • Find ways to release anger with positive activities. I also talk about five scholarships for 1:1 Pregnancy Loss Grief Coaching with me, and how you can apply. www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis www.facebook.com/hersoulpurposepage www.pinterest.com/cryssieaddis www.twitter.com/cryssieaddis

Let God give you what others in your life can't or won't. Allow Him to fill those empty places. www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis www.facebook.com/hersoulpurposepage www.pinterest.com/cryssieaddis www.twitter.com/cryssieaddis

Denial is normally the first stage of grief. It is the refusal to believe that the pregnancy loss is true. It is wanting to believe that either there is still a chance for the baby to make it or that the baby is gone. www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis www.facebook.com/cryssieaddis www.pinterest.com/cryssieaddis www.twitter.com/cryssieaddis

Children are a blessing from God, and that blessing is for you too friend. Infertility can weigh on you and make you feel worthless. BUT God has a plan and a purpose. Hope isn't lost. He has placed that desire on your heart friend. Stay strong and know that He is good! www.hersoulpurpose.org www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis www.facebook.com/hersoulpurposepage www.pinterest.com/cryssieaddis www.twitter.com/cryssieaddis

Thank you for listening. This episode is my story of pregnancy loss, both as a 20-something single girl and a 30-something married woman. Both losses were painful, and in this episode I share how God helped me get healing. The pregnancy loss with my husband, gave me permission and wisdom to finally grieve my very first miscarriage. There was purpose in the pain of my miscarriage with my husband, to heal from my past. My past brought me full circle to here today, speaking with you. I found healing and purpose in the pain of pregnancy loss! I pray to be somebody who can help you in your time of pregnancy loss grief. www.hersoulpurpose.org www.facebook.com/hersoulpurposepage www.instagram.com/cryssieaddis www.pinterest.com/cryssieaddis
