Grief can make the path ahead feel uncertain. The Grief can make the path ahead feel uncertain.

There are days when simply putting one foot in front of the other feels like enough. Days when the weight of what you’ve lost makes you wonder how you will keep walking forward when your heart still feels so far behind.

But God is faithful to meet you there.

He does not ask you to walk through grief without Him. He holds you when your feet feel unsteady. He strengthens you when you feel like you cannot take another step. And He gently leads you, one step at a time, toward the light of His presence.

Walking in the light of life does not mean forgetting the darkness you have walked through. It does not mean your grief disappears or that you stop missing your baby.

It means that even here—in the ache, in the questions, in the remembering—you are not alone.

The God who has carried you this far will continue to carry you.

Today, you may only have strength for one small step.

Take it with Him.

He is near. He is faithful. And He will not let your feet fall. 

“For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.” — Psalm 56:13
“I know You’re sovereign. I know You’re good. I ca “I know You’re sovereign. I know You’re good. I can see Your faithfulness… but I don’t believe it in this situation.”

What do we do when what we know about God and what we are experiencing feel impossible to reconcile?

In this episode, Susan shares about wrestling with some of the hardest questions of her faith after loss—and how the Lord met her in that wrestling.

Through lament, she learned that bringing our rawest questions to God isn’t a failure of faith. Sometimes, it’s part of how we draw closer to Him.

Rather than giving her every answer, God began to show her something deeper: the profound brokenness of this world and the reality of redemption—not only now, but the final redemption that is still to come.

Because grief reminds us that this world is not as it should be.

And our hope reminds us that this is not how the story ends.

If you’ve ever wrestled with God, questioned His goodness, or struggled to believe what Scripture says in the middle of your deepest pain, this conversation is for you.

You can come nervous. 🤍 You can come wondering if You can come nervous. 🤍

You can come wondering if you’ll know anyone.

You can come not knowing what to expect.

You can come with tears already close to the surface—or wondering if you’ll cry at all.

You can come with a story you’re not quite ready to tell.

You can come carrying grief from six weeks ago, six years ago, or even longer.

You don’t have to arrive with the right words, the right expectations, or a perfectly prepared heart.

Just come.

Come and let someone know your baby’s name.

Come and sit beside another mom who understands.

Come worship when you have words—and simply be still when you don’t.

Come open God’s Word with women who know what it means to walk through a valley.

Come and let the Lord meet you exactly where you are.

Because the Hope Mommies Retreat isn’t about having grief figured out. It’s about gathering together and looking to the One who walks with us through it.

Our Shepherd is already there. And there is a place for you, too.

We’d love to welcome you to the 2027 Hope Mommies Retreat this February.

Maybe you’ve experienced the comfort of being seen, the encouragement of walking alongside other Hope Moms, and the truth of God’s Word meeting you in the middle of your grief.

Now, maybe the Lord is inviting you to help create that same space for another mom.

We’re looking for women who are ready to pour out the love, truth, and hope they’ve received into the lives of other Hope Moms—women who are willing to listen, pray, lead, and point others back to Christ.

You don’t have to have grief figured out. You just need a heart willing to serve.

If you’ve been wondering whether God might be calling you to lead a Hope Group, we’d love for you to take the next step.
