I don’t fully know anything about 5 of those experiences… but one that I lost at 17 weeks, and who is classified as a miscarriage, and yet had a heartbeat… I know this son of mine had a spirit assigned for sure. It’s harder to say with earlier losses, but I think the reason we may not have much information is that it may not be a hardcut line… it may vary depending on situation. This one son of mine has appeared me as a spirit.. spoken to me. and I know he is real and will always be my son, and that he chose to be. The best thing any grieving parent can do in these cases is to seek personal revelation because with enough seeking, the Lord reveals many things especially to the grieving hearts of parents.. they are often some of the sweetest tender mercies.

It is apparent that they already had their spirits in their bodies at that time.
