Beyoncé’s Miscarriages Pushed Her to Seek a “Deeper’ Purpose. In a recent interview with ‘Elle,’ Beyoncé candidly spoke to fans about her past pregnancy losses and how they affected her outlook on life. When asked if she was “disappointed” that she didn’t win more awards for ‘Lemonade,’ Beyoncé spoke about how her miscarriages taught her to “search for a deeper meaning.”. I began to search for deeper meaning when life began to teach me lessons I didn’t know I needed … I learned that all pain and loss is in fact a gift, Beyoncé, via ‘Elle’. Her miscarriages specifically taught her about motherhood, in terms of herself. . Having miscarriages taught me that I had to mother myself before I could be a mother to someone else, Beyoncé, via ‘Elle’. She then referenced Blue, her first child, saying her birth ultimately caused her “quest for purpose” to become “deeper.”. Rather than being number one, Beyoncé now found herself focused on creating a “legacy.”. I died and was reborn in my relationship, and the quest for self became even stronger. It’s difficult for me to go backwards. Being “number one” was no longer my priority. My true win is creating art and a legacy that will live far beyond me. That’s fulfilling, Beyoncé, via ‘Elle’
