What does it mean that God is making all things new?
Have you ever wondered what blessings God is working out through the heartbreak of losing a baby?
By His nature, God is redeeming. Ever since sin cursed the earth, we have seen Him making things new—bringing beauty from brokenness. In the aftermath of Adam and Eve’s shattered hearts, as thorns choked Eden’s beauty and the earth groaned under the weight of sorrow, God whispered His promise to mend what was lost. Revelation 21:5 declares, “Behold, I am making all things new.” One day, He will restore the perfection and splendor of His creation, and every tear ...
Honoring Him This Father’s Day You See His Grief—And That Matters
I’ve been thinking about Father’s Day and how hard it can be—not just for us, but for the men we love. As Hope Moms, we carry our grief in ways that are often seen—our tears, our words, the way we hold onto memories. But for our husbands, it’s different. Their pain is quieter, often unspoken, but no less deep. Hope Dads often bear the weight of loss in a way the world doesn’t always recognize.
That’s why I want to encourage you to honor him this Father’s Day. He may not say much, he may not even know how to put words to what he’s feeling, but he ...
Honoring Hope Dads This Father’s Day
Sometimes, when we’re grieving, even kind words for those closest to us can be hard to find. But with Father’s Day approaching this Sunday, I want to gently encourage you to remember your husband on this tender day.

A sample Father’s Day letter to help you speak words of love and encouragement to your husband—thanking him for the ways he’s ...
Why Do I Run From You?
“Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?”
—Psalm 139:7
In the raw ache of grief, I’ve asked this more than once:
“Why do I run from You, Lord, when You’re the only one who understands me?”
It doesn’t make sense on paper. God is my refuge, my comfort, my healer. I know this. I’ve sung it in church, I’ve whispered it in the dark, and yet, when the pain crashed in—when my arms felt empty and my heart shattered—I didn’t fall into His. I pulled away. In those raw and early days of grief, instead of leaning ...
Host a Hope Box Gathering
Hope Boxes are one of the most cherished parts of our ministry.
They’re often the very first connection we make with a bereaved mom—a gift that gently invites her into the Hope Mommies community and reminds her that, even in the brokenness, God sees and cares for her.
Since 2011, we’ve placed over 30,000 Hope Boxes into the hands of grieving mothers.
There are three main ways these boxes reach moms:
1. Ordered through our website, assembled by a volunteer, and shipped directly to a Hope Mom.
2. Provided by our local Chapters, who fundraise, assemble, and ...
God is not outside this grief, He is with you in it.
There is something holy about grief. Not because it feels good or because we understand it—but because God meets us there.
We often feel pressure to move past our sorrow. To find the silver lining. To clean up our tears and point to hope before we’ve even had time to weep.
But the heart of our God is not one who rushes us past our pain.
He is not uncomfortable with our lament.
He is not impatient with our sadness.
God is not outside your grief.
He is not standing at a distance, waiting for you to “get over it.”
He is sitting with you in it.
Psalm ...
Joy in the Storm
Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus
The loss of a baby has a way of unsettling us, it’s like a storm we never saw coming. Grief, loss, uncertainty, and fear can feel overwhelming, threatening to pull us under. Yet, I have learned that when I keep my gaze on Jesus, everything shifts—my perspective, my heart, and my hope.
Only in Him can I find joy that isn’t tied to my circumstances. The world says happiness comes from ease and comfort, but Scripture tells a different story—one of peace that transcends understanding (Philippians 4:7) and joy that is made complete in Him ...
Pregnant Again After Loss – Finding Comfort in the Nearness of Jesus
Pregnancy after loss is a journey filled with emotions that can’t be neatly categorized. It’s joy and sorrow intertwined. Hope and fear colliding. A deep love for the life growing inside you, mixed with the grief of the life that was lost. It’s carrying new life while still carrying the weight of loss.
One of the greatest comforts I found in that journey came from John 11, in Jesus’s interaction with Mary and Martha after the death of their brother, Lazarus. He knew He was about to raise Lazarus from the dead, yet He didn’t rush past their pain. He didn’t ...
To the mama whose arms are empty this Mother’s Day
I see you. I see your pain. I see the ache that words cannot touch and the longing that time does not erase. I see your love, deep and unshaken, stretching across the space between you and your precious child.
I know this day is hard. It’s a day that magnifies the ache of what should have been, what once was, or what you dreamed would be. A day that reminds us of just how fragile and broken this world can be. While others celebrate with flowers, handmade cards, and sticky little fingers wrapped around theirs, you are left holding memories, longing, and love that has ...
In Christ, Nothing is Wasted
What Does It Mean That "All Things Work Together for Good"?
Romans 8:28 is one of those verses we cling to in our suffering:
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.”
But let’s be honest—there are days when this verse feels hard to believe.
What does “all things” really mean?
What kind of good could possibly come from the heartbreak we carry?
Let’s look at what Paul says just a few verses earlier in Romans 8:20-23:
“For the creation was subjected to ...
