Pregnancy and infant loss is a grief that many women carry quietly. Whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, it is a journey that can leave families feeling isolated, misunderstood, and searching for hope.

In this deeply personal conversation, Deborah Murphy is joined by Kayla Fowler and Brittany Freshour, leaders of Held in Hope, a ministry that walks alongside women who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss. Together, they share their own stories of loss, the questions they wrestled with, and the ways God met them through unimaginable heartbreak.

Kayla shares the journey of multiple miscarriages, the prayers she prayed, the moments when God said "no," and how community helped sustain her faith through seasons of grief. Brittany shares the story of losing her daughter Sadie at 36 weeks, the profound sorrow of stillbirth, and how that experience transformed her relationship with God.

Rather than offering easy answers, this conversation honestly explores grief while pointing listeners toward the hope found in Christ. Kayla and Brittany also share how their experiences led them to help other women through Held in Hope, creating a place where no one has to walk this journey alone.

If you have experienced the loss of a baby, or if you love someone who has, this episode offers compassionate encouragement and the reminder that God is near to the brokenhearted.
