14 | The Power of Community for Grieving Mothers | Foreknown Ministries

Join us for a conversation with Alyson and Kelsi of Foreknown Ministries about the power of community for grieving mothers. Alyson and Kelsi are best friends who lost their babies two weeks apart from each other. In the deepest of grief, they leaned on their faith and friendship.


Now they host weekend retreats, digital support groups, and a texting community for women who have experienced pregnancy loss. They believe in having a "cross" of support: vertical from God and horizontal from community. In this episode, they share advice on how to make friendships with other grieving moms and point you to find hope past the grave.

In this episode, we discussed:

  • Walking through grief with a friend
  • Having answers and finding closure
  • Viewing the time you were pregnant with your baby as a gift
  • How God led them to start Foreknown Ministries
  • Circling through the stages of grief and dealing with grief head-on
  • Finding intimacy with God in your grieving season
  • Relearning God's character and letting Him put your broken heart back together
  • Weekend retreats and why they are helpful
  • How to get involved in their texting community to receive daily support
  • Shame and how Satan uses it to keep us silent and alone
  • The power of being vulnerable and sharing your baby's story
