"Anxiety, miscarriage, and the faith that brought me back." — Mary Rutherford
If you have a personal story about motherhood, mental health, hormonal struggle, or faith journey — we’d be honored to feature it and amplify voices of recovery and resilience.
Hi Mamas! My name is Mary Rutherford! I am 39 years old and an incredibly proud mother of two boys and two fur baby girls! My sweet boys are 100% boy – wild, crazy, loving, and oh so fun! They are full of joy and I pray they continue to hold onto their sweet innocence for as long as possible. Not only am I a mom, but also a wife. I am incredibly lucky to have been married to my best friend for 16 years and counting. He loves and supports me unconditionally.
As a child I struggled with anxiety and even the most simple situations would cause my heart to race, my stomach to turn, and my body to tense up. I was making myself sick in order to avoid situations that triggered these feelings. Over time, I learned to manage, but never had the full escape from anxious feelings. Fast forward many years to my third pregnancy that was completely unexpected. We weren’t financially prepared, the stress built up, and we worried endlessly about what the future would hold. But, in all things, faith and love got us through and we were excited for the slight change of plans. That is until I lost the baby 12 weeks into my pregnancy. As the most heartbreaking thing I experienced, my anxiety went through the roof and I blamed myself. I read books, got a new dog, and tried to escape the heartbreak. I had all the love in the world from family and friends, yet somehow still felt internally isolated.
I know how it feels to struggle, break down, and feel lost. I also know that there are ways to be supported, uplifted, and feel like you belong no matter what you’re going through. It took time for me, and I still struggle, but I have a beautiful community to stand beside.
Motherhood is constantly changing and I’m blessed to share this journey with so many amazing women!
