Well, every situation is different, right? So to someone who is experiencing miscarriages, and I can only speak from a man's perspective. I can't speak for a woman who really, their perspective is the most traumatic. But I can say that, first of all, you're worthy. I don't want you to think you're not worthy.

I don't want people to think that because they have a miscarriage that they're inadequate or that they're broken. I think that this life is complex and there are things we do and don't understand. And I think there's beauty in everything that's meant for you. And instead of trying to control exactly how you want your life to be, accept that it's going to be the life that is meant for you.
