Her husband, 22, added: “It really was a hard time for our family going through this right after we got married. And all the dreams of getting to see our little one and hold it in our hands dashed before our eyes.”

The couple, who tied the knot in June 2018, chose to talk about their miscarriage so others would know that they’re “not alone.”

On Mother’s Day, Josiah honored his wife with a sweet Instagram tribute. “To my dear Lauren… Happy 1st Mother’s Day,” he wrote on May 12. “I have seen you love, protect, and how much you have given without getting anything in return. I wish our sweet baby could’ve seen just how wonderful a mother you are. Not all mothers arms get to hold their little one, or get to hear their baby’s laughs and cries. You may have missed out on these things since our baby was called home to be with Jesus, but you ARE a mother. I love you Lauren! … #mamatoanangelbaby.”
