BRINGING UP BATES’ Lawson Bates and wife Tiffany announced they recently suffered a miscarriage.
“We were expecting our first baby. We’ve never been more happy in our lives,” Tiffany posted in an Instagram video. “Our loved ones were so excited with us.”
She continued, “After unexpected cramping and spotting, we went to the ER. After hours of pain and ultrasounds, the doctor confirmed a miscarriage. We have never been more heartbroken. We continue to lean on God for peace [and] strength as we know God is still good.”
Tiffany elaborated in the caption, writing, “Our hearts have never been more broken. As we take time to grieve, we continue to praise the Lord for all His blessings, including our miracle baby. God is still good. We can’t wait to hold our baby one day! We’ve read all of your comments and are so encouraged by your kindness. The stories you’ve shared with us about your personal journeys have truly touched our hearts, we are praying for you!”
“We know that God is the author of all life, and we felt absolutely privileged to have been in-trusted by Him with this little angel,” she wrote in an Instagram story. “Even though it may have been for a much shorter time than we hoped, we will forever cherish those moments of excitement and joy!”
In October, Tiffany shared a message about grief and holding on to faith.
“As holidays approach, it can be difficult for some as it brings painful memories – or – perhaps with the state of the world, your relationships, or a personal struggle you’re feeling heavy, confused, and lonely,” she wrote. “The one thing I will always hold steadfast too, is God is ALWAYS good. In every season, every tear, and every celebration – God is worthy of our praise.”
Please keep Lawson and Tiffany in your prayers as they continue to navigate this difficult time.
