Hebrews 6:19

"We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul."

What if this Advent, instead of trying to do more… What if this Advent, instead of trying to do more… you gave yourself permission to rest? 

For a grieving mom, the holidays can feel especially tender. While the world is celebrating, you may be feeling the weight of who is missing.

The traditions.
The expectations.
The noise.
The ache.

Sometimes what we need most isn’t another thing to add to the season—but a place to slow down, breathe, and draw near to the One who meets us in our grief.

This Advent, Hope Mommies is creating a new space just for grieving moms.

A place to remember.
A place to study His Word.
A place to breathe.
A place to Rest.

✨ Our first-ever Advent Mini-Hope Group is coming this November.

More details are coming soon, but for now, consider this your invitation to slow down and make room for rest.

Because there is a rest that can only be found in Him.

Registration opens October 18.
October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, and we’ve created resources to help you remember, honor, and care for your heart throughout the month. 🤍

Whether you’re looking for something meaningful to do with your family, a way to remember your baby, or words to help you navigate the hard days, we have resources for you.

On our PAIL Resources page, you’ll find:

🕊️ Prayer prompts and Scripture as well as a devotional
🤍 Prompts for writing a letter to your Hope Baby

You don’t have to do all of them. You don’t have to do any of them.

Take what feels meaningful to you this October and leave the rest.

However you choose to remember, your baby’s life matters, your story matters, and you don’t have to walk through this month alone.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the moment of los Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the moment of loss.

It’s what comes after.

In the delivery room, God’s presence can feel unmistakable. Holy ground. Surrounded by His presence, surrounded by people, held in a way that feels almost tangible.

And then the days and months pass.

The prayers feel quieter.
The comfort feels harder to find.
And anger begins to settle in.

“Where are You, God? Show me where You are.”

If you’ve ever experienced that tension—the nearness of God in one moment and the painful silence that seems to follow—you’re not alone.

Episode 78: Compassion in the Hardest Moments
From Grieving Mom to Bereavement Doula with Ryley Chestnut

Grief doesn't need to be fixed. It needs to be car Grief doesn't need to be fixed. It needs to be carried alongside.

This Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, we're reminded that one of the most meaningful ways we can love a grieving mom is simply to stay.

To make room for her grief.
To remember her baby.
To speak her baby's name.
To remind her of what is true when she can't remember for herself.
And to keep pointing her toward Jesus.

“I want her to have people who make room for her grief instead of trying to make it go away, who are willing to walk alongside her without rushing her toward being okay, who remind her what's true when she's having trouble remembering for herself, who speak her baby's name when no one else does, and who keep pointing her toward Jesus, our only true and lasting hope.”

Ultimately, He's the One who holds us all. And sometimes, in His great kindness, He uses the hands of the people beside us to help hold us up.
