Sara’s Story
I have desired to share my story for a while now, but truth be told, I have also been very hesitant because I feel like my story may be too hard for even some loss mothers to bare. Rather than leaving it to my own judgement, I want to choose to let the Lord do with my story as He pleases. Ultimately, my story, our stories, are not our own. They are His to do as He pleases with them.
My pregnancy with Katherine was my third. It was also my happiest pregnancy. I had more joy being pregnant with my daughter than I had experienced with my first two children. Maybe, it was ...
Testimony Tuesday {Choose Hope 2017}
It can be overwhelming for mothers to decide how is best for a Hope Baby to be celebrated. As Hope Moms begin to ponder on how they would like to honor and remember their babies in heaven on October 15, one Hope Mom graciously shares with us multiple ways she honors her Hope Baby on important dates and in her daily life in hopes of giving some ideas:
“I sat there all alone waiting for my husband to pull the car around to the bench I was sitting on outside the hospital the day after our son, Hayes, was born. I looked on as other women were also waiting for their ...

Jessica’s Story
On June 13, 2010, I discovered that I was pregnant with our third child in three years. There was a great deal of shock and restlessness as we began to prepare our home for three babies. My first two pregnancies were textbook and without nausea or complications. So, as my third pregnancy began and the sickness ensued, it was even harder for me to accept that this was God’s plan for me. However, God laid Jeremiah 33:3 on my heart and began to transform my thoughts to His thoughts—“Call to Me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things ...

Rachel’s Story
On December 16, 2015, my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our second baby. From the first positive pregnancy test, our minds and hearts began to fill with ideas of our new little one—how much we would love this new baby, the kind of sibling he or she would be to our daughter, and how he or she would fit into our family.
Around 6 weeks pregnant, we saw our baby on ultrasound, and the doctor reported that everything looked good. Then came the exhaustion, nausea, and vomiting. Everything seemed to be following the same pattern as my previous pregnancy; so, ...
Shannon’s Story
My story can be hard to write. It’s been so hard to grieve and harder to even process. To say the last year and a half has been hard would be an extreme understatement. But, I know my story is still being written, and it will glorify God. I pray it already has. So, I write it out.
My husband and I got married on the beach June 7, 2008. It was perfect. We planned fun vacations all over the world as our work schedules would allow for five years before deciding to start a family. We met our first little love, Callie Siena, in July 2014. She is ...
Beautiful Inheritance {A Secure Future}
In March 2017, Hope Moms from all across the country, and even from across the globe, gathered in Giddings, TX for the annual Hope Mommies Retreat. Together, they spent the weekend sharing the stories of their precious babies, and finding that Christ can indeed comfort the brokenhearted, often through the hands and tears of another sufferer along the way. The theme of the 2017 retreat was "A Beautiful Inheritance." In this mini series, Shannon Owen, recaps her messages from the retreat in order to give us a greater picture of the beautiful inheritance we have been ...
Q: Is It Un-Christian to Grieve?
This Q&A series is intended to help you take steps forward in wisdom. Lay your questions before Scripture with us; find in the ashes that wisdom “will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown” (Prov. 4:9). What questions about grief, God, or the Bible do you have right now? Contact us here.
When I first looked at this question, my automatic reaction was: No. Definitely not. But as I thought and prayed about it, my answer changed to both “no” and “yes.” While it's not un-Christian to ...
