Connect with a Pastor
I'm Pat Damiani, a semi-retired pastor in Tucson, AZ. My son, Peter, and daughter-in-law, Amber, are the founders of We Miscarried, which means that I have personally been impacted by their miscarriage. I'm here to help, so if you need someone to talk to or you'd like for me to pray with you, please let me know.
​
I've also written a Biblical perspective on miscarriage on this page that I hope you'll find helpful.

A Biblical Perspective on Miscarriage
When we experience a tragic loss, like a miscarriage, one of the first questions we tend to ask is "Why did this happen?". There is no easy answer to that question other than to acknowledge that we live in a world that is impacted by sin which has corrupted God's perfect creation. What we do know is that God does not take away our loved ones from us as some sort of cruel punishment. God mourns over the loss of your child just as much as you do.
​
And yes - it is a child - not merely a "fetus" or a "piece of tissue". Jeremiah 1:5 reveals that God knows each child even before he or she was formed in the womb. Psalm 139:13 makes it clear that God knit that child together in its mother's womb.
​
And for those who have put their faith in Jesus there is the glorious hope that we will one day see that child again. When King David was told by God that his unborn child would die, David fasted and prayed that God would spare that child. But once the child died, David went to the house of God and worshiped. When his servants asked how he could do that, here is how David replied:
​
He said, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’ But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.”
2 Samuel12:22–23 (ESV)
​
David was confident that one day when he died, he would go to that child, who was now in the presence of God. And we can have that same confidence, too.
