Wow, that's really inspiring. You seem to have the right attitude to faith and loss. Did you feel like God didn't cause your hairloss but was there to help you through it, or did you feel like He did cause it for reasons that you couldn't quite understand but which you trusted were loving and for the benefit of your soul?

Oh yes, I did not blame God or believed in him any less.  I felt then as I do now that God does not put grief in our path, but gives us the strength to go on, to lean on him for that strength.

In the beginning it was not easy, but for me in the beginning I had a newborn to take care of, so I had to look outside myself and be a good mom.  Not that I did not shed tears, oh I shed lots of tears, but in the night in my husbands arms, never in front of my child, I felt I had to be strong for her.

Hi, I'm new both to alopecia and to faith. Instead of noticing hairloss and beginning to seek God, I began to look for a connection with God because of my fiancé and his faith, then I began losing buckets of hair. Personally, I struggle with this. It can be hard for me to be joyful and giving when I feel so scared and devastated. How do people feel thankful and open hearted in for/in spite of their alopecia?

Hello Everyone! I've had alopecia since I was 8 and I'm 20 now. I'm just now realizing I'd like to know more people in the alopecia community! I also just posted first picture without a wig so today is a lot of firsts! I've learned over the years Alopecia is a blessing from God that has made me who I am today. Just looking to talk and meet more people with Alopecia!

Had recurring bouts of AA for over 20 years and then a year and a half ago lost it all (AU). It has been a very difficult time for me, but praise God He has walked with me through it all and given me a strength I didn't know I had. Can't imagine being on this journey without Him.

Yes, but I don't post much. Have had AU almost 41 years now, been a Christian all 58 years of my life.
