Days after vloggers Sam and Nia Rader posted a pregnancy announcement that went viral, the couple posted a heartbreaking video to announce that they've suffered a miscarriage.
"We were so happy... and you could see in our vlog from yesterday, we were just so overjoyed," Nia said while crying. "And it was like a huge celebration. And then it – bam – it just hit us like a bomb."
Nia also reached out to other women who have experienced miscarriage, saying, “I just want to say, too, that maybe there’s someone out there that’s going through this with us. The Bible says to weep with those who weep and mourn with those who mourn, and I am mourning with those of you who are feeling this.”
She also added that it was the first time in their marriage that they grieved together.
"Nia and I mourning together like this has made us stronger," Sam said in the video, "And it's made me appreciate my children more... this morning when I woke up, I loved on them so, so much..."
The pregnancy announcement that was posted on August 5 where Sam collected some of Nia's urine from the toilet to use for a home pregnancy test and then surprised Nia with positive results has already received more than 12 million views.
The post about the miscarroage has not been without controversy. Many people are saying the pregnancy was fake and that the couple uploaded the video with the title, "Our Baby Had A Heartbeat" just to gain views and earn money.
Their tear jerking revelation has already been viewed more than three million times and viewer comments are running the usual gamut for these kinds of videos.
