  • When Grief Makes It Hard to Read Your Bible
  • You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone
  • We Remember Because They Lived

The grief you carry is heavy, and some days it may The grief you carry is heavy, and some days it may feel like the sorrow is more than your heart can bear. But 2 Corinthians 1:5 reminds us of this beautiful truth: our comfort abounds through Christ. This doesn't mean our pain will be small or that we will always feel comforted. It means that even in the depths of our suffering, we belong to a Savior who meets us there. We do not have to find our own way through the heartbreak or muster up enough strength to carry it alone. The same Jesus who knows suffering is the One who sustains us in ours. You can bring Him the tears, the questions, the longing for your baby, and the ache that hasn't lessened with time. You don't have to hide your sorrow or rush toward healing. His comfort is not dependent on how well you're holding it together. Your suffering is real, Hope Mom. And so is the comfort Christ offers you. May you know His nearness today, even in the places that still hurt.
The nursery was ready. Family was in town, waiting The nursery was ready. Family was in town, waiting to meet their baby boy. And then, they went home empty-handed. It’s a heartbreak that’s difficult to put into words, especially for those who haven’t experienced it themselves. But there is comfort in knowing you aren’t alone. In this episode of the Hope Mommies Podcast, Dr. Alyssa Kirsch understands that heartbreak from both sides of the hospital room. As an OB-GYN, she has cared for families on some of their happiest and hardest days. And as a Hope Mom, she knows the devastation of leaving the hospital without the baby you expected to bring home. Dr. Kirsch joins Jennie to share the story of her son, Beckett, and how his life and death have shaped her as a mother, a physician, and a woman of faith. Together, they talk about the guilt and unanswered questions that can linger after loss, the fear of a subsequent pregnancy, and the compassionate care grieving families need. They also reflect on the comfort of being understood by others who have walked this road and the hope found in the presence of others, prayer, and trust in the Lord. If you’ve ever struggled to explain your grief to someone who hasn’t experienced it, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to walk this road alone. 🤍 🎧 Listen to episode #80 of the Hope Mommies Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and at hopemommies.org/podcast.
Grief can change your capacity. It can make concen Grief can change your capacity. It can make concentrating difficult, familiar truths feel unfamiliar, and even opening your Bible feel overwhelming. But grief hasn’t changed your need for God—or His faithfulness to meet you right where you are. Jennie writes: “You are learning to come to God and His Word from inside a story you never wanted to live.” And she reminds us: “Your world has changed, but God hasn’t.” If reading your Bible has felt difficult since your baby died, you’re not alone. You don’t have to recreate the quiet time you had before your loss. Come as you are. Take the next small step. Keep coming back to Him and to His Word.
