🌈 Hope and Help for moms navigating pregnancy after loss. 🎙️Host of the PAL Doula Podcast.

There’s something strangely comforting about how honest Scripture is about life. It doesn’t pretend everything is joyful all the time. It just says it plainly: sometimes we laugh and dance, and sometimes we cry and mourn. And both are part of the story.

Grief may interrupt joy for a time, but it does not erase it. Tears may be faithful companions for a season, but they are not permanent residents. The same God who allows mourning also sets its boundaries. These seasons do end.

And more than that—there is a promised day coming when God Himself will wipe every tear from our eyes. Not metaphorically. Personally. Completely.

So no, this season of mourning will not last forever. Even in the middle of the tears, we are not without hope. We grieve honestly, yes—but we grieve with a hope that is real, steady, and anchored beyond this moment.

So if you’re in a season of mourning right now, this isn’t the end of the story. You’re allowed to cry. You’re allowed to feel it. And you’re also allowed to hold onto hope—even if it’s just with your fingertips—for what’s still coming.

Sometimes, when you’re navigation loss, TTC After Loss, Pregnancy After Loss, etc. it’s impossible to imagine next week, much less the rest of the year.

So, take from these examples. Maybe they’ll help you curate the year you need 🤍

This prayer is for the mother whose world stopped, even as everything else kept going.

For the mom whose arms are empty, whose heart is loud with love and grief, and whose faith may feel fragile. Or angry. Or exhausted.

If this is you, I promise, you are not alone. Your baby mattered. Your love is real. And God is not afraid of your tears.

Save this prayer for the nights when words won’t come. Share it with a mother who is walking this road.

And if today all you can do is breathe, please know, that is enough.

Today is Peanut’s 5th birthday 🤍

Five years of carrying you in my heart.
Five years of loving a child I don’t get to hold.
Five years of being changed by you.

I thought, as your mommy, I would be your teacher—showing you the world, guiding your steps, watching you grow.

Instead, you became mine.

You taught me how deep love can go in such a short time. Through you, God has taught me that grief, and joy, and suffering, and hope can live in the same breath. I’ve learned that Heaven is not far away—and that I need to be living for the reality of Eternity.

Your life, though brief, was not small. And I’m thankful for how the Lord has used you to make me more like Him, and to serve others in a way I could not if you had stayed.

Today we celebrate you, Peanut.

Not the years we wish we had, but the brief life God gave you. Not just the ache of your absence, but the way God continues to use you to teach me—about love, about hope, about eternity.

Happy 5th birthday, sweet boy.
You will always be my child.
And I will always love you.

Loss often brings two of these moments together at once. In seasons of devastation, people can easily turn away from the Lord—but that is often when they need His presence the most. We want to be equipped to bring hope, and to hold hope, in these sacred spaces.

We are keeping the Holding Hope: Bereavement Doula Training class intentionally small—only 10 spots—so each participant can be deeply equipped, supported, and cared for as they learn and grow. Send us a message to register. 📥

If you’re anything like I was while pregnant after loss, my only New Year’s Resolution was, “survive and bring home a living baby.”

But, respectfully, that’s only the bare minimum.

If that’s all you have space for, that’s fine. But can I encourage you to do more than just “survive”?

Pregnancy After Loss doesn’t have to be the most ✨amazing✨ experience of your life.

But bringing a child into this world shouldn’t just be something to survive.

Maybe try one of these resolutions.

And, maybe, if you’re ready to get support in PAL, reach out to me. DM me the word “hope,” and I’ll be in touch.

My word for 2026 is sanctuary.

Not hustle.
Not proving.
Not “push through.”

Sanctuary.

For me, sanctuary looks like a home where my children can grow gently, and where my husband can find peace. Where my family doesn’t have to earn rest or safety. Where we practice slower mornings, honest conversations, and boundaries that protect our peace—not just our productivity.

It means choosing rhythms that feel sustainable, not impressive. Letting our home be a place where we land, not just pass through.

It means being the “village” for others, and making a place where they feel seen and loved.

And this word is shaping my work as The Pregnancy After Loss Doula just as deeply.

Because if you are pregnant after loss, the world rarely feels safe.
Your body remembers.
Your mind scans for danger.
Joy feels risky.
Hope feels fragile.

So this year, my business is a sanctuary too.

A place where:
• your fears don’t need fixing
• your vigilance makes sense
• your joy is welcomed and protected
• your grief is never rushed
• your faith questions are allowed to breathe
• your story is handled gently

Sanctuary means I’m not here to push you into “positive thinking” or rush you toward milestones that don’t feel safe yet.

I’m here to help you build internal safety—so your pregnancy doesn’t feel like something you have to survive alone.

In 2026, my work is about creating containers where your heart can exhale.
Where pregnancy after loss is met with tenderness, not pressure.
Where support feels steady, grounded, and reverent.

If you’ve been longing for a place to rest while you carry so much—
welcome. 🤍

2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. These are the years I’ve lived without my Peanut. And tomorrow, I’ll add 2026 to that list.

If the new year feels scary, or like you’re leaving a piece of your heart behind, you’re not alone.

Some part of them will always be part of you, and no page turn on a calendar can ever take that away 🤍

Hey Doula,

Birth work isn’t only about supporting life—it’s also about supporting families when loss enters the room.

And yet, most doulas are never taught how to walk with grief.

When a pregnancy ends differently than expected.
When a birth plan becomes a goodbye.
When a family is left holding questions, silence, and a pain no one prepared them for.

Holding Hope was created for the doulas who want to stay in those moments.

Not to fix.
Not to rush grief.
Not to offer explanations where none exist.

But to learn how to sit with families as they navigate loss—with steadiness, humility, and care.

As the new year begins, this training invites you to deepen your capacity as a doula:
• To understand what grief actually looks like in the body and nervous system
• To support parents in the early days of loss and in pregnancies that follow
• To use language that honors pain without minimizing it
• To trust that your presence matters, even when there are no words

You don’t need to have all the answers to support families well.
You need education, attunement, and a framework that allows grief and hope to coexist.

Enrollment is open for Holding Hope Bereavement Doula Training.
Start the new year learning how to sit with families when birth becomes loss—and learn how to carry hope without forcing it.
