In this third chapter of Cup Half Full, Lauren Abendschein shares her story with honesty, vulnerability, and quiet strength.
Through her experience, she opens up about the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, the weight of unanswered questions, and the reality of walking through grief while still showing up for the life around her. She speaks to the dreams that begin the moment you find out you are expecting and the silence that follows when those dreams are suddenly gone.
Lauren reflects on motherhood, resilience, and the tension between fear and hope. From loss to healing, her story is a reminder that even in the darkest seasons, love endures and the possibility of light remains.
This series exists to hold stories like this with care and compassion. Not to fix or rush grief, but to create space for it, to honor it, and to remind us that connection and hope are still present, even here.
If you have a story to share, we would be honored to hear it.
Your story matters.
Special thanks to JDs Waco for creating a space where stories like this can be shared with care.
