79. Honoring Pregnancy & Infant Loss Month: Faith, Grief, and Miscarriage Support with Cate Purvis
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, and today’s episode holds sacred space for the women who have walked through that pain — and the friends who want to support them better.
My guest, Cate Purvis, is a birth and miscarriage doula, childbirth educator, and author who has walked through sixteen miscarriages and four miracle babies. Through unimaginable loss, Cate discovered that God doesn’t cause our pain — but He never wastes it.
In this powerful, faith-filled conversation, Cate shares her story of loss and redemption, how she found peace after years of heartbreak, and the truth that changed everything: “God can take it.”
We talk about what it means to grieve honestly with God, how to support someone after miscarriage, and why faith and grief are not opposites. If you’ve ever felt angry at God, questioned His plan, or struggled to understand why loss happens, this episode will remind you that He is still faithful — even in the dark.
You’ll hear:
How Cate’s sixteen pregnancy losses deepened her faith rather than destroyed it
What it looks like to be honest with God in anger, grief, and heartbreak
Why “God’s will” is often misunderstood in conversations about miscarriage
How to support a friend walking through pregnancy loss or infertility
The redemptive hope that comes when we let God turn ashes into beauty
This episode is a tender reminder that even when heaven feels silent, God still sees, loves, and redeems.
