In our latest podcast episode, Kristin is joined by Kelly Ransdell, Ministry Support Lead for Hope Mommies, to talk about how grief affects our minds, bodies, and relationships and how Christ’s wounds bring true healing.

Kelly shares the story of her firstborn son, William, and how God met her in the fear, trauma, and deep grief surrounding his birth and death.

Drawing from her counseling background, Kelly helps us understand what grief does to our minds and bodies and why so many moms feel “broken” or “out of control” after loss. She also explains different grieving styles, how these show up in relationships, and how recognizing them can foster compassion and unity.

“As Hope Moms, we do have a CALL to the gospel, but we also have the COMFORT of the gospel.”

After loss, it can feel confusing to hear words like calling, obedience, faith, and surrender—especially when your heart is shattered and your strength feels thin. You may wonder if grief has somehow sidelined you from God’s purposes, or if you’re failing because you don’t feel strong or steady right now.

This article gently reminds us of a powerful truth: as Hope Moms, we don’t just carry the call of the gospel—we are also held by the comfort of the gospel. Our suffering does not push us away from God’s work; it draws us closer to the heart of Christ, who knows grief firsthand. The gospel doesn’t rush past our pain or ask us to carry it alone. It meets us right in the middle of it.

Inside this reflection, you’ll find encouragement for walking faithfully while still grieving—permission to be honest, to hold joy and sorrow together, to release shame, and to fix your eyes on the eternal hope that still lies ahead. It’s a reminder that your motherhood, your story, and even your scars are not wasted. God is near, He is gentle, and He is walking with you every step of the way.
