Held & Heard Registration

• Who is Held & Heard for?

  We lovingly invite all moms of loss to join us — no matter your story, timeline, or where you are in your grief.

  This space is for you if you’ve experienced:
  🌱 Embryo loss
  🕊️ Miscarriage
  🌸 Stillbirth
  👣 Infant loss

  & every loss in between.

  Whether your loss was recent or years ago, whether you're feeling raw or renewed, whether you're in a place of deep grief or have found some healing — you belong.

  We believe in the power of stories shared across seasons:
  ✨ Moms who never got to hear a heartbeat
  ✨ Moms walking through the early fog of fresh loss
  ✨ Moms still asking “why?”
  ✨ Moms who’ve learned to live with the ache
  ✨ Moms who wonder if healing is even possible
  ✨ Moms who’ve found purpose in their pain

  You are needed in this circle.
  Your story matters.
  Your presence matters.
  Together, we hold space for one another — so no mom walks this path alone.

  How beautiful it is to be in community of mothers that know this unique pain, each of us on our journey to healing while holding onto hope.

  🕊️ Save your seat today — space is limited.

• What should I expect?

  This special gathering is designed to be a safe, confidential space where you are welcome to simply listen, quietly reflect, or gently share your story. Here’s what to expect:

  ✨ A short devotional to anchor us in truth and hope
  🧵 A meaningful remembrance activity — creating baby name bracelets
  💬 A time for guided questions, quiet storytelling, and optional shared experiences
  🙏 Closing prayer

• Is there childcare?

  This is a child-free event out of deep sensitivity to the space we’re creating for grieving hearts. We know this may be different for some stages of life, but truly appreciate taking the time to have this space to focus on our motherhood journeys in a room fully of just mothers.

• I want to join but I am just not ready to talk.

  This is for you! There is no pressure to share but the opportunity is there. Over time, sharing may come easier & we want to empower every mom to share in their own time. You will greatly bless those around you by simply listening while also feel encouraged yourself surrounding yourself with moms of loss just like you.

  We have also prayerfully laid out our itinerary with every mom in mind. Incorporating a hands on activity will help create a casual, comfortable setting.

• How much does this cost & how do I RSVP?

  This is a FREE resource! There is a registration link on this event page & it is so important to register if you are coming! We will have a little gift for every mom that joins us, refreshments, an activity & more - which means a proper head count is critical for our planning.

  In your registration you will be asked to commit to a confidential agreement. We want everyone to feel safe coming, even if they aren’t ready for people to know of their experience. What happens in H&H, stays in H&H.
