Strong mama, finally, you can walk into a room and be surrounded by women who personally know the devastation associated with child loss. In a non-judgmental environment, you can finally stop pretending you are fine. We know that your story deserves to be heard and is full of pain. There is powerful hope for your broken heart. It is found by looking to God together and hearing other moms say, “I understand. Me too.”

Purpose of WHOLEHEARTED
Your story matters. The purpose of WHOLEHEARTED is to gather as women who personally know the devastating loss of a child or a baby through miscarriage. Our goal is to connect with one another in our broken stories while stepping toward God in pursuit of being made whole. We recognize that grief is a lifelong journey and there is not a way to fix ourselves or undo the loss. We also recognize that we each need support as we take one more step and live through one more day without our beloved child. We believe there is hope and joy to be experienced as we link arms together and lift our eyes to God.
