Hope Online is intended for bereaved mothers who have lost a baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. 

We have specifically designed this support group for women who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss in recent years (for moms who are currently in their 20s-40s).

Bereaved moms can live anywhere in the United States or elsewhere; Hope Online is hosted in Central Standard Time (CST). To join the support group via Zoom, you must download the Zoom app or desktop software.

A few times a year, we also offer special Hope Online meetings for couples. Please follow us on social media and join our email list to receive updates about upcoming dates.

No! You are welcome to attend any Hope Online support group that you are able to, whether it be one, some, or all.

Because Hope Online is characteristic of a traditional support group, we do hope to have a consistent community of women attend on a regular basis. However, you are not required to attend every single one in order to participate. We will gladly welcome you whenever you are available to come!

No. Bridget’s Cradles and its support group facilitators are not licensed counselors or medical providers. Hope Online support groups are not intended to be a replacement for therapy or medical advice. Diagnosis and treatment of physical, mental, or emotional conditions should be received by your own medical provider or licensed counselor.

Hope Gatherings Online support groups are always free to attend.

Unfortunately, the support group is hosted in English and we do not have interpreters. In order for bereaved moms to find connection and community, conversation must flow smoothly. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

These online support groups are for grieving mothers. They are not intended for bereaved fathers, grandparents, or other family members or friends.

Out of respect and sensitivity for women who are newly walking through the pain of losing a baby, we kindly ask that mothers do not have infants or other children visible on the Zoom call.

Our heart is for Hope Online to be an intimate and sacred space where women who have experienced the same heartbreaking loss can come together in honesty and healing. We believe that true comfort and healing takes place within a safe, understanding, and Christ-centered community.

Thank you for honoring these guidelines and for helping us protect the emotional safety of the mothers who attend. A few times a year, we offer special Hope Online gatherings for couples—please follow us on social media and subscribe to our email list to receive updates on future dates.
