Bettinna Carlos spotlights the crucial role of her faith in helping her cope with the heartbreak of miscarriage.
Actress-host Bettinna Carlos has shared her grief as she revealed having recently suffered a miscarriage.
She bared the news on Tuesday, February 1, confirming that she and husband Mikki Eduardo were initially expecting their first child together.
“We were pregnant and then no more. To all the mothers who have lost their children before they could even hold them, feel them, see them (in the flesh or [through] ultrasound), may you, too, find peace in this: God's purposes for the lives of our unborn children were fully fulfilled however long or short they were in us. Their lives did not go to waste,” she wrote on Instagram.
Bettinna also reinforced her belief that one's life is a journey towards fulfilling God's purpose.
“If you are still breathing, that means God's purpose for you is not yet fulfilled. Hence, your very life and every breath.”
She then expressed how grateful she is to have still been given at least a short amount of time with their child, saying, “Lord, You were so gracious in giving to us and You are still good even in taking away. Thank You for the fresh hope and new joy [that] You gave us even for a very short while. Thank You for the assurance that one day, in heaven, we will see and be with our child. Thank You for what You give when You take away. What we gain from this loss.”
The former Idol sa Kusina host coupled the post with photos of her positive pregnancy test, their baby's sonogram, and an excerpt from Vaneetha Rendall Risner's “To Anyone Who Has Lost A Child.”
She highlighted sections from the article which read, “The Lord has a purpose for each human life, and so a child who dies in the womb has fulfilled his purpose just as fully as someone who lives to old age…This child's life, however brief, was full of meaning and purpose.”
Bettinna and Mikki tied the knot in December 2020. She has a 10-year-old daughter with her former partner named Amanda Lucia “Gummy” Carlos.
