Finding hope after loss does not have to be big or dramatic. Learn how God gently provides comfort, healing, and small signs of hope, even in the emptiest seasons.

Finding faith after loss can feel impossible when you have empty arms, a quiet God, and no words left to pray. In this episode, my friend Ashley shares her story of miscarriage, pregnancy loss, and the kind of spiritual dry season that feels like numbness more than sadness.
Ashley had three beautiful pregnancies, three unmedicated births, and a family life that felt like the mountaintop. Then came the valley. In the summer of 2023, she discovered she was pregnant again, and it felt like everything was lining up perfectly... until it wasn't. She talks about the shock of learning her baby had stopped growing, the strange "nothingness" that followed, and how grief can show up as emptiness when your brain and heart cannot carry the full weight all at once.
We talk about what it's like to keep going through the motions when you feel far from God, and why silence does not mean absence. Ashley shares how a friend sent her a miscarriage devotional called Held, how God gave her a small, tangible comfort on her front porch, a hummingbird that became a sign of care in a season she could barely survive. And she opens up about making the hard decision for a DNC after trying to pass the miscarriage naturally.
This is also an honest conversation about healing and faith in real life. We sit with Romans 8:26, the reminder that when we do not know what to pray, the Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. If you have ever felt guilty for not having "the right prayer," or you have wondered why you feel nothing, Ashley offers hope: God is still there. Your feelings are real, but they are not always the truth.
If you are walking through miscarriage, grief, or a dry season right now, please take care of your heart as you listen. And if you're supporting someone else through loss, this episode will help you understand what "showing up" can look like when words fail.
One quiet moment at a time, you can keep showing up. God has not left you.
