Erin’s Story
Suspended
by, Erin Cushman
Hope Mom to Gwendolyn Hope
It’s been over five years since my daughter’s birth and death.
Five years – it is true that time can be an agent of healing. Time can so accustom your heart and mind to a despicable reality that you can say it without blinking, without feeling the weight of your words: “It’s been over five years since my daughter’s birth and death.” And while I am in the habit of telling my story, especially as I explain the ministry that was birthed from it all, I can never meet the eyes of strangers as I ...

12 Days of Christmas {Giveaway}
Hope Mommies is excited to offer you 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways this holiday season!
As a Hope Mom or Dad, the holidays always seems to be one of the hardest seasons of loss to walk through. Your baby’s absence is so obvious and substantial. It is difficult to enjoy the merriment and festivities of the holidays when your heart aches from missing your child and you are constantly reminded of the absence of someone so dear to you. It is also challenging to know how best to honor and remember your baby in the midst of the holiday season.

12 Days of Christmas {Not Forgotten}
"This week, three and a half years after we said hello and goodbye to Ella, a friend sent me a small package. Inside was a note that said "remembering your precious child with you this holiday season" And there, wrapped in tissue paper, was a small wooden Christmas ornament with Ella's name and birth date burned into it. I wanted to sit down right were I was and just stare at this piece with her name on it. This gift was precious to me for so many reasons. First, there are very few times I will ever get to see Ella's name in print. She won't ...

12 Days of Christmas {Remembering Your Baby}
"As a Hope Mom or Dad, the first round of holidays is always the worst. Their absence is tangible to you, and you wonder how you can eat and be merry while your heart is bleeding out. It's always difficult to know how to honor your baby in the holiday season - do you put up a stocking? Do you take a family photo -- with our without a special item or photograph of them? Do you talk about him or her?
My story is by no means the "ideal" -- all grief journeys are unique, just as each Hope Baby and family are unique. But I want to share what my husband and I do to ...
