Feed Your Soul: Between Now and Eternity {The Holy Spirit & Assurance)

My husband and I went to sit at a Lake Michigan beach while we were still in deep grief after our daughter’s stillbirth. We sat in chilly air, looking at the endless blue. This was the closest that we could come to an ocean, living in the Midwest. Looking out at my version of the ocean, I mused about themes of eternity in that endless view. We sat on our folding chairs and swatted at a few pesky flies, mostly in solitude together except for a few passersby in the distance whose frames eventually faded into the long stretch of sand. For me, this subtle act felt bold. It was one of my first attempts to return to the “real world,” meaning ...

Choose Hope for 2015

Every year on October 15, nations all across the globe come together in order to recognize Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.  What started in 1983 with a few volunteers from the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Center (PILC) turned into a movement around the world.    PILC began by calling out to other groups and organizations to join them in raising awareness of infant loss during the month of October.  As the movement grew they set about to petition the Governors of each state to follow them as well.  Soon many states had declared October as Infant Loss Awareness Month, and their campaign continued to gain attention, support, and success ...

A Note From The Director: Questions have come up several times since Hope Mommies inception, “What about dads?” or “What help do you offer for dads?” Similar questions have also been posed like, “What do you offer for couples going through infant loss?” or “Do you have retreats for couples and families?” Worry not, we have a heart for the whole family and the Hope Mommies Board of Directors and Leadership Team considers these questions often.

The sunrise represents God, full of Light, shining on her and shattering the dark of night, bringing forth a new day full of hope. Phung Ngo Martin, Artist                   (more…)
