I Have Six Children In Heaven: When Does Life Begin?
Have you ever wondered what happens to a baby when they pass away in their mother’s womb or soon-there-after? I’ve had the privilege of meeting six children who passed away before birth.
Those who know me, know that I am a pretty private person—an extrovert but also a private one. The reason why I’m sharing this life experience openly about my six children is that I have come to acknowledge for some time now, that our testimonies aren’t meant just for us and also to understand the significance of human life. (please read until the end):
By 2007, I suffered my fifth miscarriage. Ed and I lost yet another child. It hadn’t really been a shocker to the doctors at this point.
The Dream
One night, in early Spring of that year, as I laid myself down to rest for the evening, without a thought in mind, I was given an unforgettable dream, to say the least:
The moment I closed my eyes, I was walking in Heaven! To the left of me was a beautiful gazebo, which looked as if it was made from the finest pearl. Around this gazebo were children—six, to be exact.
There were two girls and four boys. The five younger ones were playing with one another around the beautiful gazebo, the youngest being a baby. The eldest was sitting on some type of rock or stone listening to music. He was very handsome and had a slight resemblance to my Uncle Jeff, who passed away in 1996—tall and slender, with neat, curly, black hair.
As I gradually drew closer to the children, somehow, I grabbed their attention and they all came flocking towards me…smothering me with hugs! Some around my legs, others around my waist because that seemed to be as high as they could reach, except for the eldest. I wondered who these children were.
“Mommy!”, they called out. “Mommy!”
These were my children! They were so beautiful, happy, and very well taken care of. My husband and I had six children in Heaven!
Ed always wanted a son, now he had four. The eldest we lost around 2003, the year we got married. What’s interesting, is that he’s the only one who I noticed would have been around the age he would be currently.
The Revelation
When I woke up the next morning, I was still in amazement and didn’t tell my husband until hours later. But I pondered within myself how I could possibly have six children in Heaven if I’d only had five miscarriages.
Well, about a week or two later, I miscarried for the sixth and last time (hence, confirms the baby at the gazebo)!
Soon after that, my husband and I were able to conceive again, and I gave birth to our second daughter, born healthy, happy, and beautiful. I guess that makes me a mother of EIGHT!
The Kicker
Here’s the “kicker”: Every last one of my children that I lost, were miscarried at TWO MONTHS OR LESS! Two months or less! That’s within the first trimester.
I know that so many people question whether human life begins at conception or birth, and I have found the answer to be at conception.
I got to meet my very own children who I lost after they were only days to weeks conceived—and they knew who I was! I was ‘Mommy’! My children actually let me know that I was their mother!
You see, God assures us that He knew us before He formed us in our mother’s womb (Jeremiah 1:5), which means, that little life inside of that mother is a SOMEBODY, who was well crafted and has a purpose.
If you’ve had an abortion, God will forgive you if you ask Him for forgiveness—your child is waiting for you and knows you by name. You are STILL a mother, just next time choose a better alternative. If you’ve miscarried or lost a child at a young age, still, your child knows you by name and is waiting for you in Heaven. Life is the greatest gift.
Both beautiful and powerful.
I never wanted to have an abortion – I always wanted a big family. It’s taken a lot of work to heal from it. I wrote about what happened on the blog several years back. Thank you for sharing…

Your child is waiting for you in Heaven. Not only is he or she waiting for you, but they’re also EXPECTING you🤍
This I believe. Several yrs ago – when I asked Yahuah for Peace about the domino of events – He allowed me to hear my little one’s voice. The Spiritual Realm (what I think of as 5d) is an amazing & beautiful place.

Wow! I love that! God is so faithful. His supernatural nature brings us so much comfort!
This was a blessing. Thank you for sharing your story.
You’re welcome, Vickie.
Jennifer, my heart goes out to you for the pain of your losses (felt at the times they occurred). Your faith and acceptance of Father’s blessings through you is inspiring. I would like to refer you to two blogs that address the pains we feel in this life and the hope we have for Eternity. The first deals specifically with the theology about infant salvation.
The second addresses what your blog brings up as an unstated question: if all babies go to Heaven, why should we oppose abortion and not just give the kids a fast ticket there?
love and prayers,
c.a.
See you in Heaven, if not before! 😊

Thank you, C.A. I have so much comfort in knowing that they are well taken care of. Jesus is such an awesome parent 🙂 Also, thank you for the links.
Thank you for sharing this. The beauty and wonder in your words are amazing.
You’re welcome, Rebecca!
Thank you for sharing. I’ve believed that my miscarried child would greet me. But even more importantly, you touched my husband’s heart because he had a girlfriend decades ago who had an abortion and it has haunted him. We look forward to seeing our additional two children (we have 7 on earth) in heaven some day!
You’re welcome, Laura! I’m glad my testimony was able to bring comfort to your husband. Your family will meet that beautiful child one day. Btw, I love seeing big families. God bless you and your family.
What a beautiful picture and testimony of God’s love for His children, thank you for sharing
You’re welcome, Steve!
One day we shall greet our lost infants in the care of Christ. Our earthly death will open the door to joyful, everlasting life with Him and all we hold dear to our heart.
Absolutely! Amen.
A beautiful testimony! Thank you, for sharing something that once brought you discomfort! I am sorry for your loss.
Thank you for sharing this. So beautifully written. Indeed, heaven must be a lovely place!
You’re welcome, Susan! God bless you
May God bless you, too. Take care!
Thanks so much. You’re welcome. I have comfort in knowing that they’re well taken care of. Jesus is such an awesome parent!
THIS IS SO POWERFUL ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Amen!
Very beautiful and powerful–a sweet assurance… Blessings to you and your house!
God bless you, Mario. Thank you!
Beautiful! I’ve had a least one loss , but most likely two miscarriages (if my doctor was correct)
, and the thought of meeting those babies is quite wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your dream. A nice thing to wake up to it today as I get ready for a long day with my family. I hope you have a wonderful resurrection Sunday!
I’m glad my story was able to bless you! Your children are waiting for you in Heaven. I hope you had a great time with your family! God Bless
Jennifer, I believe that life begins even before we know it for ourselves. That is what Jesus said – Before I formed u in the womb, I knew u! I hope and pray your story brings healing and comfort and peace to all who have lost their babies. God bless your blogging ministry.
Amen!!!
Very Informative post!!
Thanks for sharing this post here with us. I loved to read this blog
You’re welcome, Eva!
Thank you for sharing this testimony. I have two living children and have had two miscarriages and just lost twin girls at 22 weeks. My husband and I are in such pain and searching for peace and encouragement so that our family may walk through this with grace and hope. It’s encouraging to me that you continued to trust in Gods will and plan for your family.
