Carried: How the Lord's Prayer Holds Us Through Pregnancy After Loss

by Ashlee Schmidt

Pregnancy after loss is a journey marked by both miraculous hope and deep sorrow. It is a tender and complex thing to hold the joy of new life alongside the ache for the baby who is no longer here. With compassion and unwavering faith, Carried invites grieving mothers to walk hand-in-hand with the Savior through this sacred and vulnerable season.

Rooted in the timeless words of the Lord’s Prayer, this nine-week devotional gently leads women into deeper communion with God as they navigate the fears, uncertainties, and longings of pregnancy after loss. With rich theology, honest storytelling, and space for reflection and prayer, each chapter steadies the anxious heart with the truth of God’s character helping you see His nearness, His sovereignty, and His unshakable love with renewed wonder.

Whether your grief is freshly felt or long carried, this book is a faithful companion, pointing you to the One who holds it all—your sorrow and your hope, your baby and your heart. In the midst of uncertainty, may you find peace in surrender, strength in Scripture, and comfort in the God who lovingly carries every part of your story.
