## Resource

Losing a baby doesn't just break your heart—it can shake your sense of who you are. In this episode, Jennie Parks and Kristin Hernandez discuss the ways miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss often reshape our sense of identity. Together, we reflect on the "before loss" and "after loss" versions of ourselves—the parts we miss, the growth we've seen, and the good fruit God has brought from deep sorrow. We talk honestly about the pain of change—how loss can affect our relationships, personality, confidence, and even our walk with the Lord—and how, even in all that shifting, our identity in Christ never changes. With Scripture and personal reflection, Jennie and Kristin remind us that while grief may change aspects of who we are, it doesn't change whose we are.
