Rapper Big Sean is offering words of encouragement for individuals who have experienced miscarriage.
Sean offered the encouragement to other when he opened up about what it was like for him to process the miscarriage, he experienced with his partner Jhene Aiko.
Before welcoming their rainbow baby, the couple opened up about losing a child.
Appearing on On Purpose with Jay Shetty to discuss his debut book, Go Higher: Five Practices for Purpose, Success, and Inner Peace, Big Sean narrated how he got over the miscarriage trauma.
“Every situation is different,” he began. “So to someone who is experiencing miscarriages, and I can only speak from a man’s perspective— I can’t speak for a woman. Their perspective is the most traumatic, but I can say that, first of all, you’re worthy. I don’t want you to think you’re not worthy.”
The rapper added “I don’t want people to think that because they have a miscarriage that they’re inadequate or that they’re broken. I think that this life is complex, and there are things we do and don’t understand, and I think there’s beauty in everything that’s meant for you.”
Encouraging listeners with a positive sentiment, he continued “You may get blessed with a child later on. You may get blessed with a child that comes into your life a different way,” he shared. “Sometimes we get so set on a goal, we don’t keep the rest of our doors open, of how the universe could bless us in that way, to not only fill that void, but even make it even greater.”
He then urged others to “keep an open mind,” but if you’ve also dealt with “such an insufferable loss” then you should “go through it, express yourself, deal with that grief, [and not] let it consume you.”
