Tiffany Thornton took to Instagram on Dec. 23 to reveal she suffered
a devastating miscarriage after 5 weeks. Read her heart-wrenching
story.
Tiffany Thornton, 31, was five weeks into her third pregnancy — which would have been her first child with her new husband, Josiah Capaci —
when she learned she had lost her baby. The Disney Channel alum
revealed the heartbreaking news in an emotional Instagram post on
December 23. “In the early hours of this morning [December 23] I
miscarried a 5 week pregnancy,” she wrote after quoting the Bible.
Tiffany did not disclose the details of what happened or why she exactly
miscarried, however, she alluded that her child may have had an issue
where he/she could have suffered after birth.
Tiffany explained: “I’m still in a bit of shock about it but there is
one thing I know: God has His hand of protection over me and my husband
and children AT ALL TIMES. And I know it was a form of His protection to
only allow my body to carry this tiny blessing for 5 weeks. I am
grateful that I wasn’t further along in the pregnancy. I am grateful
that I didn’t end up having a child who would suffer once born. I can’t
imagine a child in pain and no way for me to help them. I am grateful
that my body does what it is supposed to do even in the most difficult
situation.. I have always wanted to be a mom, no matter what challenges
that would bring.” Read Tiffany’s full message, below.
“Transparency = Testimony. When King Agrippa asked Paul what he had
to say for himself to convince the King to spare his life, he responded
with all he had: his testimony. He had no riches to offer, no land, no
persuasion even. Simply his testimony. In this same way I feel led to
share MY testimony with those who will listen so I can give others hope
through tough times in their lives. Some people would say I shouldn’t
share so many intimate details about my life but if I don’t use the
platform God has given me to tell about His unfailing love and grace in
my life then what is the whole point of the platform in the first place?
So today I am going to be incredibly transparent as I ask for
prayers. In the early hours of this morning I miscarried a 5 week
pregnancy. I was always the person that thought this wouldn’t happen to
me. Until it did. I’m still in a bit of shock about it but there is one
thing I know: God has His hand of protection over me and my husband and
children AT ALL TIMES. And I know it was a form of His protection to
only allow my body to carry this tiny blessing for 5 weeks. I am
grateful that I wasn’t further along in the pregnancy. I am grateful
that I didn’t end up having a child who would suffer once born. I can’t
imagine a child in pain and no way for me to help them. I am grateful
that my body does what it is supposed to do even in the most difficult
situation. And my heart breaks for any mom who has gone through a
miscarriage. I have always wanted to be a mom, no matter what challenges
that would bring. And I know, just like this picture, that
there is always something beautiful and bright after a dark spot in
life. So I will persevere and continue on in hope that the Lord will
eventually fulfill our desire for another baby. I’ll go ahead and thank
you all now for the prayers as I know they will be coming in like a
flood. As you read this I don’t want you to feel sorry for me but rather
feel emboldened to share your mistakes, hurts and truths to others so
that they can see God through u. My fans + followers: you are more than
that to me. You are family. The body of Christ and my equals. And I love
each of you. Thank you for loving me too.”
Tiffany and her second husband, Josiah wed on October 7, 2017; two years after her first husband, Christopher Carney was killed in a car crash
in Arkansas on December 4, 2015. He was 35. Carney was a passenger in a
vehicle driven by his friend, who swerved the car and crashed into a
tree, according to reports, which claimed the driver also died. Tiffany
and Carney were married for nearly four years when he died, and shared
two sons, Kenneth James, 5, and Bentley Cash, 3.
