David Platt once said, “There’s a unique pain that comes from preparing a place in your heart for a child that never comes.”
For Trisha Long Bell, she knows that pain all too well.
Seven times her heart was prepared for the bundle of joy growing in her tummy; and seven times, her heart was crushed by the weight of losing yet another unborn child.
Trisha and her husband of six years brought a beautiful baby boy into the world three years ago, but since the arrival of this living miracle, their struggles to have another child have been almost unbearable.

But when Trisha heard the heartbreaking news about her newborn son Ezrah, she refused to allow the pain of her past miscarriages to swallow the hope for her son’s future.
She would fight for him ’til the end.
Ezrah was born with no heartbeat, no oxygen to the brain and no pulse. After incurring severe brain injuries, the doctors advised Trisha to give up and “pull the plug” on him. They said he would have no quality of life.
