faith & hope
after pregnancy & Infant loss
When you can’t even open your Bible…
an excerpt from the morning blog
After my son died, my faith was not strong. In fact I was desperate. Maybe you are desperate too. Maybe you are so broken and so hurt by God that you can't even open the Bible. And the thought of praying feels beyond impossible.God knows. And He isn't angry or disappointed. He doesn't love you less. And He doesn't leave you alone to figure it out. Renowned theologian, preacher, teacher, and author Charles Spurgeon, a man who loved God deeply and suffered greatly, once said:
“The very sight of the Bible made me cry. I could only keep alone in the garden and I was heavy and sad, for people had been killed in the accident and there I was, half dead myself.” Sermon 2213, “Honey In The Mouth"
In the midst of deep agony Spurgeon, a man who revered God and had seemingly unshakeable faith, remembers a moment when the mere sight of God's Word made his heart ache. And yet, God still pursued him in that moment…
“Hope for the Hurting gave me just that, in a time when it was hard to read Scripture. It was like a friend coming alongside me, reminding me of truth and telling me things would be ok with time, even if it’s so painful in this moment.”

It is so hard, and I'm so sorry for what you're walking through. First, know that you're not alone. Grief is so complex and our relationships with God often change as a result of all the loss and trauma. I can't make any promises about what your relationship with God will look like in the future, but I do know this -- Even when it doesn't feel like it, God is with you. He sees you. He loves you. He weeps with you.
I would encourage you to be honest with God about what you're feeling. I would also encourage you to be honest with a trusted friend or spiritual mentor who can pray for you, with you, and listen without judgment. Healing takes time, and that's okay, but don't do it alone. The women in our free, online Community would love to support you in journey, too. Click here to join us inside.

Not at all. We are here to provide hope, support, and community to any woman grieving pregnancy or infant loss (and to those who love her).
We do come from a place of believing that the person of Jesus, as written about in the Bible, is where true hope is found. You can find our full belief statement here if you'd like to know more about what that means for grieving moms.
