FIVE MONTHS APART

Five Months Apart is not just a story about overcoming the odds, but a personal account intended to provide hope, healing, and peace for all the women who have grieved over an unborn child.

In 2005, Kerstin Lindquist suffered through her first miscarriage while delivering the Saturday morning news for San Diego's ABC affiliate. While one in four women will experience a miscarriage at some point in their lives, most don't have their struggle broadcast directly to American households. For the next three years, Kerstin and her husband Dan tried every fertility treatment under the sun while attempting to keep it together at work and on air. Their path to form the family they'd always dreamed of seemed an unending uphill battle, and the constant bumps in the road began to take their toll, straining both their relationship and their faith in God.

In the midst of their arduous journey, something amazing happened. As Kerstin shared her personal story with her viewers (taboo in the world of local news), she began to hear from hundreds of thousands of women across the country who had similar experiences with miscarriages and infertility. It's not a secret: this story has a happy ending. Kerstin is now the proud mother of two girls born five months apart, one from adoption and one via assisted fertility treatments. Five Months Apart is not just a story about overcoming the odds, but a personal account intended to provide hope, healing, and peace for all the women who have grieved over an unborn child. Most importantly, it's a story about enduring grace and a reminder that God's plan is always better than our own.

Kerstin Lindquist is a program host on QVC and an adoption & infertility advocate. She eventually did get pregnant through IVF and has two daughters born five months apart.
