Hebrews 6:19

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

They had a plan to honor their son’s life by donat They had a plan to honor their son’s life by donating one machine each year in his memory. But what they discovered on the day of their very first donation changed everything.

Six months after his birth, they walked into the hospital ready to make a difference, only to discover that the hospital already had a machine—but it wasn’t working.

In that moment, their mission grew. It wasn’t enough to donate the machines. They needed to make sure hospitals had the parts, service, and ongoing support to keep them working for the families who needed them.

In this episode, hear how the Herman family’s heartbreaking loss became a mission to help protect and care for other families.

There are days when grief makes it hard to find th There are days when grief makes it hard to find the words to pray.

Days when the questions feel bigger than the answers. When opening your Bible feels difficult. When all you can seem to do is sit with the ache of missing your baby.

I'm so grateful God gave us the Psalms.

In them, we find words for the questions, the tears, the waiting, the fear, and even the praise that can feel so difficult to find in the middle of grief.

You don't have to have the right words. You can open God's Word and let the words He has given us help you pray.

We've gathered a list of Psalms for a Hope Mom's grieving heart, with a passage for the days when you feel forgotten, overwhelmed, afraid, brokenhearted, or simply need to remember that the Lord is your Shepherd.

As we approach the holidays, save this post somewhere you can return to when your heart needs the reminder.

We were never meant to walk through grief alone. We were never meant to walk through grief alone.

At Hope Mommies, we believe in the power of community. Hope Moms need a safe place to grieve alongside others who understand, surrounded by the love of Christ and rooted in the truth of the gospel. They also need a circle of people who will continue to show up, remind them they are not forgotten, and walk alongside them long after the hardest days begin.

That's why the Circle of Hope matters.

When you become a monthly donor, you're doing more than giving financially. You're offering a tangible reminder of love and care to a grieving mom who may feel overwhelmed by loneliness.

Your faithful, monthly support helps sustain this ministry and makes room for more Hope Moms to find the community and gospel-centered encouragement they need.

Will you join our Circle of Hope?

Your monthly gift is a way to keep showing up for grieving families, one month at a time.

In this episode, Jennie sits down with Katy Herman In this episode, Jennie sits down with Katy Herman, mother, infant loss advocate, and founder of the Born Sleeping Foundation. Katy tenderly shares the story of her son Wesley, who was stillborn in April 2021, and the ways she can now see God’s gentle presence woven throughout the days before, during, and after his birth.

Katy also shares how her time with Wesley inspired her family to begin providing CuddleCots to hospitals, giving grieving families the precious gift of more time with their babies. She now also helps equip labor and delivery nurses to care compassionately for families experiencing loss, reminding us that parents will always remember how they were cared for.

Together, Jennie and Katy talk honestly about mothering a baby who is no longer here, making room to speak their names, and discovering that grief and beauty can exist together. Katy shares how she came to know the Lord as gentle, present, and faithful, and how surrender has helped her continue walking forward in hope.
