Snippets of Books we recommend:

"To pray in pain, even with its messy struggle and tough questions, is an act of faith where we open up our hearts to God." p. 31

"Our hope is not in a change of circumstances but in the promise of a God who never stops being merciful--even when dark clouds loom." p. 114

Honoring Him This Father’s Day As Hope Moms, we

Honoring Him This Father’s Day

As Hope Moms, we carry our grief in ways that are often seen—our tears, our words, the way we hold onto memories. But for our husbands, it’s different. Their pain is quieter, often unspoken, but no less deep. Hope Dads often bear the weight of loss in a way the world doesn’t always recognize.

That’s why I want to encourage you to honor him this Father’s Day.

Maybe it’s just a simple “I see you. I know this day is hard. You are a father, and you always will be.” Maybe it’s setting aside time to talk about your child—say their name, share a memory, or just sit together in the quiet, knowing you both love someone the world doesn’t get to see. Maybe it’s giving him space to grieve in his own way, without pressure or expectation.

In our latest podcast Eric Schumacher @emschumache

In our latest podcast Eric Schumacher @emschumacher shares his personal story of fatherhood and loss, the challenges many men face in expressing sorrow, and how cultural expectations can silence grief. We hope you’ll join us as we look to the lasting hope found in the gospel—especially through the lens of the Gospel of Luke—and the promise of resurrection in Christ.

Episode 45: Gospel Hope for the Grieving Dad is now available wherever you listen to podcasts and at hopemommies.org/podcast.

Sometimes, when we’re grieving, even kind words

Sometimes, when we’re grieving, even kind words for those closest to us can be hard to find. Parenting a child in heaven is a heavy burden. Not just for us, but for our husbands, too. With Father’s Day approaching this Sunday, here are a few resources as a starting place.
