I successfully told the two women in my church about our loss. It was easier to spit the words out than I thought. They were so kind and loving. One woman had 7 babies lost to heaven before her 1st born. The other woman has had two daughters have miscarriages in the past year as well. It was a huge relief to let someone of my faith in my congregation know about our recent struggle. They both also validated my feelings that my baby had a soul and is in heaven. Even though our faith doesn't have specific doctrine on this topic (just about once the "quickening" occurs) they both feel that there was a soul there.
They just left my home after an hour and a half visit and I feel a calmness and peace that I haven't had in a while. I hope it lasts.

Of course your baby has a soul & is in heaven. That is a small comfort in your loss.
