  • Join Us This October: Three Ways to Bring Hope

For many families, October 15 is more than a date For many families, October 15 is more than a date on the calendar. It's a sacred evening set aside to pause, light a candle, speak our babies' names, and remember the lives that forever changed ours. Our Forever Loved candle holders were created with that moment in mind. Handcrafted by fellow Hope Mom and potter Jeni Schrawyer of Pretty Please and Mango Trees, each stoneware holder is personalized with up to two names or the words "Forever Loved." It includes a taper candle, ready to be lit during the annual Wave of Light. We pray it becomes more than a beautiful keepsake. We pray it becomes part of your family's tradition—a quiet reminder that your baby's life mattered, your love endures, and Christ remains near. ✨ Preorders are open through September 15. Every candle holder is handmade to order and will arrive before Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. https://hopemommies.org/october-pail-month
Some seasons of grief feel like a drought. The te Some seasons of grief feel like a drought. The tears have slowed, but your heart still feels dry. The questions linger. The weariness remains. You wonder if you'll ever feel refreshed again. Isaiah 58:11 reminds us that our hope isn't found in our own strength, but in the faithful presence of God. Even in the driest seasons, the Lord will guide you continually. He doesn't abandon His children when the path is difficult. He promises to satisfy weary souls, strengthen those who feel weak, and nourish hearts that have been drained by sorrow. Notice that the promise isn't the absence of drought. The promise is His presence within it. May you find rest today in the God whose living water never fails.
Some songs become part of our story. 🎵 In this te Some songs become part of our story. 🎵 In this tender moment from the latest Hope Mommies Podcast, Jennie shares how one worship song has carried the memory of Paige for sixteen years. When "Give Me Jesus" unexpectedly began playing in the car, her daughter Cora quietly sang along from the backseat—unaware that it was one of the songs played at Paige's funeral. Grief has a way of attaching itself to melodies, hymns, and moments we never forget. Years later, those same songs can still bring tears... but they can also become beautiful reminders that love continues, memories endure, and God remains faithful through every season. 🎧 Listen to this heartfelt conversation between Jennie and her mom, Marie, on the latest episode of the Hope Mommies Podcast as they reflect on grief, family, and the quiet ways the Lord meets us in our remembering. Now streaming wherever you listen to podcasts or at hopemommies.org/podcast. Episode 74: After Paige A Conversation Between Mother and Daughter with Marie Donley and Jennie Parks 💙 We'd love to hear from you: Is there a song that reminds you of your baby? Share it in the comments as we remember our little ones together.
How do we help our children trust God after the lo How do we help our children trust God after the loss of a sibling? One of the hardest parts of parenting after pregnancy or infant loss is helping our Hope Siblings make sense of a world that suddenly feels broken. We may not have all the answers, but we can point them to the One who promises to never leave them. "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you..." — Isaiah 43:2 In this encouraging blog repost, Hope Mom and HM Board Member, Shelly, shares practical ways to help Hope Siblings understand God's faithfulness in the midst of grief—not by pretending life isn't hard, but by reminding them that they never have to walk through it alone. If you're navigating loss while raising children, we pray this article encourages your heart and equips you to lovingly shepherd theirs.
