  Life After Miscarriage The Day I Gave Birth to Goodbye Foreword by Coach Jaleesa: Some stories are hard to read because they touch places we don’t talk about enough. This is one of those stories. The day that was supposed to bring her the sound of a heartbeat instead brought silence. Yet in that silence, God was still present—and so was her strength. I admire this woman immensely. She’s not just telling a story of pain—she’s telling a story of power . The kind that comes from choosing to deliver a baby with no heartbeat. The kind that allows you to grieve and still believe.
