In this episode, Jennie Parks is joined by Kelly R In this episode, Jennie Parks is joined by Kelly Ransdell and Brooke Schuelke for a thoughtful conversation about navigating Mother’s Day after the loss of a baby. Mother’s Day can be one of the most tender days of the year for grieving mothers. While the world celebrates motherhood with flowers, brunch, and family photos, many Hope Moms are quietly carrying the ache of a child who is missing from their arms.

Together, Jennie, Kelly, and Brooke talk honestly about the tension of holding grief and joy at the same time. They share how the Lord has met them in quiet moments on Mother’s Day, how our identity as mothers is not erased by death, and why Scripture offers a firm foundation for the motherhood of women whose babies are in heaven.

They also talk about approaching the day with honesty and grace. From giving yourself permission to rest and grieve, to making simple plans for the day ahead, this conversation offers gentle encouragement for navigating a day that can feel both meaningful and painful.

For the mama approaching her first Mother’s Day after loss, this episode gently reminds her of something the world often forgets: Your baby’s life mattered. Your love matters. And your motherhood is real. Even when your baby lives in heaven and not in your home, the Lord sees you, knows your story, and holds every part of your motherhood in His hands.

In this article, Kelly explores the concept of Heaven, the New Earth and what we can know about them from Scripture. 

If you need to take a break from grief and set your eyes on things above today, read on. These truths are His gift to you. Click the link in our bio to read. >> https://hopemommies.org/what-does-it-mean-to-be-in-heaven
