Healing Vlog: On Grief And Gratitude | Laureen Uy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Last November, I’ve faced one of the hardest moments of my life. But today, I want to focus on something else-on gratitude. I’m grateful to be alive, to wake up in a warm home, to have a husband who stands by me with unwavering love and strength. He’s truly my anchor. We’re thankful for my family and friends, who have carried us through our hardest days, reminding us we’re never alone. I’m thankful for my followers who sent me endless DMs praying for us and also those who shared their experiences similar to mine. One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means finding a way to carry love forward, even in the midst of loss. And that’s what I’ve been doing-carrying love, gratitude, and faith forward. We love you Mile and we miss you everyday.
i saw an ig reel months ago, it says grief is like a butter, heavy and solid until it eventually gets folded in. it is still there, integrated in and perhaps a little less intense, but forever flavoring our experiences. eventually, there might be something sweet and lovely folded into life too. that grief butter remains, though, sometimes hitting us in unexpected and powerful ways. we taste it all. and grapple with its complexity. but holding both at the same time - the heavy and the lovely - is precisely what makes life so full and beautiful.
grief has been there in my life since i was 7, im now 23. it doesnt get easy. but there will be more amazing things to look forward too. miles, you are loved, and will always be loved.
That is a beautiful way to put it, thank you for sharing.
Being able to share your story is very brave. When I had a pregnancy loss, I was fearful of being judged because there weren't a lot of related literature out there at the time of my miscarriage. All I could see were happy baby bump photos, pregnancy updates, and women holding their bundles of joy after birth. I am grateful for my Mom and Grandmother who stepped in, gave me words of comfort and reassurance. Personally, it really hits different when comfort and care come from family.
May you take one step at a time. Parenting/motherhood/fatherhood is quite a journey that needs to be realistically paced. For some reason, society has placed so much unbearable demands on itself that it risks harming things that are meant to mostly grow naturally/organically.
Prayers for healing and strength. All the best and all the love to you and the family you already have (parents, sibs), and have just created with husband Miggy.
when one mama cries all mama's are crying. hugs lau
Walang salita , walang payo , walang kahit na ano . Mahigpit na yakap lng para sayo ms. lau 🫂🙏🏻
I cried. My heart goes to both of you. Been there 2 years ago. Most painful thing I ever felt but life goes on.
We had 3 angels before we received our biggest miracle. God will give it in his perfect time. Continue to strengthen your faith and be a blessing.🙏❣️🙏
Romans 8:18....
The pain that you are feeling cannot compare to the joy that is coming....
My favorite verse...
I just survived also a year of struggles in my family... And now..slowly gaining peace and joy...
We will be happy ,laureen...
In God's perfect time....
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your precious baby Miles. You are both incredibly strong. I don't know you both personally, but please know that you and Miggy are in my prayers. Sending you love and strength.❤❤❤
Well written! 🤍🥲
Thank you for choosing to heal, for stepping in with faith. That as even pain exists, you carry on with hope. Sending hugsss for you and Miggy ❤❤❤
I have been you that situations before. I got a miscarriage on my first baby. I was full of disappointments, jealousy and saddness. I was blaming myself for what happened. But i am thankful to God he leads me back to the right way. I dwell on his presence. After a couple of months i got pregnant again and have my first born son. We are very happy and thankful to have him. Got pregnant again last february and again had a miscarriage. But reminded me of his love, faithfulness and his promises. He reminds me of his words on Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. He will fullfill his promises to you and your husband. He will comfort you in times of sorrow. He will never leave you. Keep Gods words and his presence in your life and you will find peace, happiness and love.May you find peace on him.
Hi ms laureen...i feel you and your journey, really. Because it takes someone to have been in your shoes for you to realize that what i am about to tell you isn't cliche...losing someone we really love is hell...to say the least, esp if its your first born supposedly, had circumstances turned out differently...but everything really has its own time. I had 3 consecutive miscarriages before my greatest miracle, my daughter...and after that i had another 2 abortions, making it 6 pregnancies with only 1 alive....not to mention im an obstetrician 💙 so feel your emotions, dont get frustrated that after mustering a courage and moving 1 step forward only to fall down 3 steps behind again...💙❤
You'll get there...believe me...trust the process...small baby steps...difficult winding roads lead to better destinations than we originally planned 💙 happy new year 💙
❤
Just watched this and found myself in tears. 2024 was not that friendly to me, but it was an eye opener for me that yes, pain, sorrow, grief, and gratitude can come together. "Healing doesn't mean forgetting," I really feel this. Thanks for this, Ate Lau! Virtual hug🥲
Praying for you and Miggy. From one mama to another, you will get through this together. I had my first miscarriage 3 years ago but the Lord has always been faithful despite what happened. Last 2024 I gave birth to a beautiful boy on my birthday. If He brings you to it, He will get you through it. ❤ for now, cry it out, feel the emotions of loss, it’s okay. Surrender your tears to the Lord and let Him be the one to heal you, in His own perfect time ❤
I am so sorry for your loss Ms. Laureen. I was one of the happiest upon learning of your pregnancy, like literally naiyak talaga ako sa vlog mo when you announced your pregnancy. Rest assured your baby will come back to you soon. I am praying for you and your husband.
The moment I found out that Laureen and Might were pregnant I was also so so happy and even cried for their happiness as if I am one their family members. But the moment I saw her post about her miscarriage it’s like your carrying her pain as well. Just endure the pain, Ms. Laureen and I know God hears and sees you. Always remember that you are not alone. ❤
Very well said.
.very timely for our family .
My niece lost her still born (first baby) baby at 9mos already last Dec 29..he should have been the first grandson. But we all know God has his plans why this thing happened..
Prayers of healing and comfort for my niece and for you Laureen and for all those who are in the same situation ❤❤❤❤❤
I am an avid fan from Canada. Hi Lau, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Experiencing the loss of a baby is an incredibly challenging and emotional journey. It’s a relief that you have the support of your husband during this difficult time. In my case, I faced a similar loss, but without the support of a partner, and the situation was further complicated by interference from my ex’s family, leading to our breakup.
Navigating such emotional turmoil is undeniably challenging. It’s crucial to allow yourself time to grieve and seek support from friends, family, or professional counselors. Remember, you’re not alone; many have faced similar experiences, and sharing your feelings can aid in the healing process. recovery.
mahigpit na yakap! mahal kita 🤍
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your story. Sending love from the Philippines! ❤
I am sorry for your loss, Laureen and Miggy. It's been a while since I've watched your vlog. I feel you, I had a miscarriage twice and it was painful - God has an answer to all my questions and grief - I trust His plans and what He has in store for me and my husband. Now, we live each day with gratitude because we know our two angels watching us. Our tight hugs you are not alone. God's plan is perfect.
BANGON AT LABAN… ❤
Mahal namin kayo, ibalik ang energy at saya.
Sa tamang oras.. dito lang kami para sa inyo!!! ❤
Been through this and the pain and anxiety I carried even after having two kids..But you are right there is so much more to life to be grateful for
Hi Laureen been a followers of yours since, was also even of happy that I found out pregnant after you announced your pregnancy. My hubby and the whole family was truly happy for the both of us. Unfortunetly we lost our baby at 2 mos on Nov 13. Mommy please don't be sad. We are in this together and God has better plans for us.
I’m so sorry for your loss too, sending you a big hug. ❤️
To every mother who went through this same situation. I give you guys a warm hug and a prayer always. It is hard but just like a quote/line from John Dutton of the Yellowstone series: "Peter lived a perfect life, All he saw in this planet is you and all he knew was you loved him. That boy lived a perfect life, Monica. Were the only ones who knew it was brief. All he knew was you. That you loved him" Whenever I would feel the sadness of losing my angel I would always watch this clip back and someway or somehow it gives me comfort that yes all my baby knew was my love for her. We may not have them physically with us but we just gained another angel looking down from above for us. The pain and hurt will always be the same but we owe it to them to live at least a good life. 💕💕💕💕💕
Hi Laureen, I don't often watch your vlogs but this broke my heart to the core. In fact, I was crying all throughout. I don't know what it feels like to lose someone you carried in your own strong body and I can only feel for you from afar. I admire you among the many other women who have gone through this, including my mother. I wish you so much healing.
And while I know I can't relate, my holidays were incredibly difficult as well. I'm shattered because I lost my dad on October, on my birthday. It's the most painful thing I've ever dealt with and I can't comprehend it until today, I don't really know how I'm supposed to get by in life knowing that he won't be around. But I thank you for reminding me that I should be grateful for what I still have and the memories I got to share with him as well. It's hard, but I'll try.
Sending you and your hubby so much love!
This was absolutely beautiful.
I faced infertility for 4 years through the pandemic, which included 2 miscarriages. Our rainbow baby was born via IVF in 2023. Now, I can look back at all the moments I lost hope and faith and understand why God placed those moments there. Infertility and our losses was the hardest chapters to live through but without it, I wouldnt be the woman i'm meant to be today.
Thank you for showing your viewers what life can sound and look like after hitting rock bottom.
I wish you and your husband all the best with continued healing and more love. May your journey continue to prepare you for all that lies ahead. I am cheering you on.
❤🎉

I’m crying the whole time. 😭 I am so so so so proud of you both, Lau and Miggy! There will always be a place of gratitude even during the times we are blinded by pain and loss. I am praying for your healing! 🙏🏻 Stay strong.

I remember the pain, it will always be there, together with the love that we will feel for our unborn child 🥺 Sending you hugs and healing, Lau & Miggy! 🤍
A woman full of wisdom and strength 🥹💕
This hits hard. So very very very sorry for your loss. I understand and feel all of it. We lost our triplet babies, boy,girl,girl, at six months in utero, in the year 2012. I have lost my mother, my father, got super sick, have had a kidney transplant, all in the last 10 years, but the pain of losing my babies was by far the worst pain i have ever experienced. It has left me shattered, and broken, and took everything out of me to try to build myself back up. But my dear Lauen, time will be your friend. With it comes the understanding of why all of it had to happen. With time comes the grace to be grateful for the precious moments you had with her. Grateful to know that you are capable of a love so strong, so pure, and so noble. A love you will never ever see or know ever again. And to have known, and felt, even for just a minute, is worth all the pain. Hold on to your faith Lauren and Miggy! You have a precious little angel up in heaven. My three little ones have been with me and truly been my angels in this life. We are in fact the priveleged ones. Praying for you while writing this with tears going down my cheeks. Sending you both love and light.
Thank you so much for sharing your story and your kind words. Sending love and light back to you. ✨🙏🏻❤️
So very well written. Prayers for you and Miggy. Even in our lowest moments and worst times, our Lord could turn everything into a blessing. Soon, you will realize why it all happened and when the right time comes, the Lord will make it happen for you and Miggy. Lets be hopeful this 2025. Thankful for another year.
Iniiwasan kong panoorin toh ilang araw na. Now paano mattulog,masakit sa heart. Hugs Ms. Lau.
You are blessed, kung tutuusin napaka Blessed talaga. Always pray fr the next child to be healthy. God's ways are not our ways ika nga....
Sending love Laureen 🫶🫶🫶. This may not be the time yet but your precious baby will definitely come back and will show and give you more love than you ever deserve. In God's perfect time.
You're a strong mama, Lauren! Everything happens for a reason 😢❤
This too shall pass Ms Lau
I admire you and your attitude.You are an inspiration to many❤

Praying for you Laureen! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ your baby Miles is so proud of you already!
Thank you Laureen for your vulnerability, you are helping us all ❤
Big 🤗. I also lost my 2nd baby last November. We were super excited when we found out because after 12 years we are going to have another great blessing from God but I guess He has another plan for us. Stay strong. He will give us what our hearts desire. ❤
For your rainbow baby, please keep it a secret for as loong as you can. People ruin beautiful things. Hugs

Thats Soo sad😞💔 Hugs & kisses for the both of you She will be back Someday. There's a reason why this is all happening. Just trust Him 🤍❤️🤍❤️
"There is always something to be thankful for." Amen to that. God bless you.
Mahigpit na yakap po 🙏 Praying with you as your journey through all this. Sabi ko nga ng mawalan ako ng anak na napalaki ko na then it was her time to join our creator but I also came to ask myself pano din ang sakit na pinagdadaanan ng mga ina na naghihintay sana sa kanilang pagsilang. Grief is certainly unexplainable when losing someone you love.
I lost my baby last November 04, 2 hours after I gave birth to him at 33 weeks. He has this rare condition called Bilateral Renal Agenesis. Both kidneys did not develop and it affects the development of his lungs. We found out upon having Congenital Anomaly Scan at 20 weeks prenatal.
We were left with no choice, no other option but to just accept that the baby will not survive. Our Doctors said it happens to 1 out of 4,500 usually happens with boys. And the survival rate is Zero.
I was carrying him the entire time, until we reach 33 weeks, went into labor and gave birth to the most handsome little angel I have ever seen.
A who lost a child doesn't heal unfortunately, we just get used to it. No matter what we do, the pain is always there. The longing is always there.
Laureen, I pray that you'll go through this process with a hopeful heart, together with your husband and your family. I wish you well. Please know you are not alone. Your Angel is watching over you.
hugs Laureen & Miggy🥺❤️ praying for God to give you strength always🙏🏼
I'm crying for the whole 5 minutes. Stay strong Lau and miggy 🙏
Praying for your healing....I miss your vlogs, now you're back! best of luck to both of you this 2025!!
Laureen and Miggy, your resilience and strength are truly inspiring. Many couples have walked a similar journey, and it’s important to remember that yes, you are not alone. At the heart of it all, you have each other, and that is an incredible blessing to hold on to.
I’m sending heartfelt prayers for both of you during this time. Trust that in this season of grief and waiting, God is crafting a beautiful story for your lives. He is working through you both to be a beacon of hope and faith to others.
Believe that in His timing, your baby will find her way back to you. Hold on to hope, and continue to lean on each other and on His promises. So many are here lifting you up with love and support.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
- 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Thank you for your kind words and prayers, we truly appreciate it.
I''m so sorry for your loss. May the Lord heal your hearts.
You don’t know me but I started to watch your vlogs since your wedding day. I’m crying the whole time watching this video. Hugs Laureen. I haven’t experience miscarriages (I hope nope) but we are in the baby making stage for over a year now and still hoping that somebody we will have our miracle baby 🙏🏻 We are not giving up but instead our faith to God becomes stronger everyday. Praying for you and Miggy. Sending virtual hugs 🥺🫂
Praying for you Ms. Lau and Sir Miggy! May the Lord wraps you both in his comfort and heal you both 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi Ms.Lauren. Sending hugs and prayers for you and your husband. Please keep the faith❤️🙏. God has greater plans for your family❤️🙏. I just wanna share our journey. We had ectopic pregnancy in 2021 (my left fallopian tube was removed) and we lost our baby January last year on my 22weeks of pregnancy where the histopathology report was inconclusive why the baby died. There was no heartbeat detected during our anomaly scan.We were very devastated with that news. I couldn’t believe it happened to us. There were full of whys and what ifs. We just continued to pray and let God do His plans for us. Now, God has redeemed His promise. We are 36weeks pregnant and waiting for the right time our baby will be delivered safely.❤️❤️🙏🙏I will surely include you on our prayers Ms.Lauren❤️🙏❤️
Felt the sadness but at the same time happy coz I can see your love for each other..All the best to both of you❤️

Thank you so much! 💖
hugs hugs hugs to you... It's not very easy, but let your body heal, just focus on healing....let grief takes its course don't prevent it, nor stop it and cry it out.... let it guide you to make you more stronger and let time be the judge when it's time, to bring another one when it's time again.... when your ready God will take care of it, when it's time again... take care & Godspeed...

hugs to you Laureen, stay strong.. your baby will be back.
it happened to us too...when I went to the clinic to hear the heartbeat of my baby, my husband was in the car (because of Covid protocols) I was doing video of my check up and when the doctor said "there's no heartbeat" I stopped the video and everything went blank. Everything my doctor said was a blah. I run down the car park and hugged my husband right away. I texted to him what happened because our 4 years old was in the car and we dont want him to hear it. We drove somewhere and stayed in the parking lot just talking about what happened. I posted in FB and then went away from anyone, family, friends and online. It was painful emotionally and then after 2 days the miscarriage happened. I was in pain in the bathtub, crying in soft voice and cant scream just blank...
Love you Lau and Miggy!! ❤ God bless!
Hugssss and prayers ❤
Hugs Ms Lau and Miggy. You are loved! ❤❤❤
I lost my son on 24th Oct 2023 due to complications during labour. It’s very tragic and painful! Until now I can’t believe it happened. I’m still navigating how to move forwards from our loss. May this year give us strength hope and healing 🫂
Sorry for your loss
But I’m sure God will give you another one
Be strong
I am one of your fan
As you’ve said you are not alone
God has a purpose
God bless you and your hubby
