Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
Psalm 91:1-4

Lynda

Lynda Salisbury

Lynda, the current leader of the Loved Baby Pregnancy Loss support group, lives in in Northern Indiana with her husband and rainbow daughter. She works as an elementary school Instructional Collaborator and is a certified Stephens Minister. Her family enjoys camping together and her favorite days are spent in the sun and sand at the beach or the Great Lakes.

Lynda has three children born in heaven through miscarriage, and each loss defines separate chapters of spiritual growth in her life. Trying to conceive for four years with complications through endometriosis, she prayed daily with fervent hope through two miscarriages in 2008.

At age 40 Lynda gave birth to their rainbow baby, yet struggled with the reality of only having one child. At the age of 44 she lost a surprise baby to miscarriage again.

It is Lynda’s pleasure to be a part of the Loved Baby team. Each member is genuine in their love for the Lord. Their sincerity and wisdom is rooted in their own story’s of loss, grief, and new found joy.

In 2015 Lynda started The Blessing Fence, a place for anonymous giving from our community and followers as well as, anonymous receiving for any family in need.
