Our Story

“I remember spending countless sleepless nights on the computer searching for any shred of hope that would offer me comfort as I adjusted to life without my youngest child.”

LOVING THOSE WHO GRIEVE IS OUR MISSION

Our goal as a Biblical ministry is to embrace those who grieve, walk alongside and bear one another’s burdens, comfort with tangible memorials, and provide retreats and training for families, couples, or individuals on a journey toward hope.

Grief is a natural, but difficult journey. Learning to adjust to a new life without a loved one as part of your daily routine can be overwhelming and paralyzing. If you feel like your life has been shattered, join our community of empathy, unconditional love, spiritual growth and especially… hope.

Are you ready to walk this journey together?

WHY I STARTED HOPEPRINTS

I remember spending countless sleepless nights on the computer searching for any shred of hope that would offer me comfort as I adjusted to life without my youngest child.

I couldn’t begin to number the stories that I read of child loss. Some were full of hope and inspired me to learn to thrive in the aftermath of grief, others left me gloomy and feeling fearful of my future without my youngest child.

I had to learn to weed through those hopeless stories that led me down a path of self pity. I had to click away from the negative and continue my search for Christ-centered examples of hope that would leave me feeling encouraged, thankful and strengthened for the journey ahead.

I wasn’t trying to escape the pain–I was intentionally trying to survive it.
