🐞 Hope Remains
Day 7 - Moving Forward

One thing I've learned over the past 27 years is that I don't believe we ever "move on" after losing a child.

We move forward.

Moving on sounds like leaving them behind.

Moving forward means carrying them with us.

As I look at this picture of Brittany today, I can't help but smile. She was always moving, always exploring, always finding joy in the simplest things.

In many ways, she's still helping me move forward.

I still think about her every day. I still wonder what she would be doing, what kind of woman she would have become, and whether she'd be raising children of her own.

Those thoughts don't pull me backward anymore.

They remind me how deeply I love her.

I've learned I can carry grief and still choose joy. I can miss my daughter while embracing the life God has placed in front of me.

The two can exist together.

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!"
Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)

For me, that "new thing" wasn't forgetting Brittany.

It was discovering that God could bring purpose, peace, and even joy into a life that once felt shattered.

🐞 Hope Remains
Day 6 - The Gift of Genetics

There are moments that stop me in my tracks.

A smile.
A certain look.
A little sparkle in the eyes.
The way one of my grandbabies laughs or tilts their head.

For just a second, I catch a glimpse of Brittany.

Genetics are such an incredible gift from God. Tiny pieces of those who came before us continue to live on in the generations that follow. Sometimes it isn’t obvious. Other times, it takes my breath away.

It reminds me that God knew every detail before any of us took our first breath.

“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”
Luke 12:7

The same God who carefully knit Brittany together also knit together my grandchildren. He knew every smile they would wear, every laugh they would share, and every little resemblance that would someday bring tears to this Gigi’s eyes.

Grief doesn’t disappear.

But every now and then, God gives me these little reminders that love leaves fingerprints across generations.

Today, I choose to smile through the tears and thank Him for the beautiful glimpses of the little girl who first made me a mama.

❤️ Brittany, I still see pieces of you.

And what a gift that is.

🐞 Hope Remains
Day 5: Grief and Marriage

One thing people don’t talk about very often is what the loss of a child can do to a marriage.

Grief is deeply personal.

Even when two people are grieving the same child, they don’t grieve in the same way.

There were times Scott needed to talk while I needed quiet.

There were times one of us was having a hard day while the other was doing okay.

Sometimes we carried each other.

Sometimes we simply sat together in the silence.

Over the years, I’ve learned that loving someone through grief doesn’t mean expecting them to grieve like you do. It means giving each other the grace to grieve differently while continuing to walk side by side.

Looking back over these past 27 years, I’m incredibly thankful for Scott.

Not because we handled everything perfectly.

We certainly didn’t.

But because we kept choosing each other.

We learned to support one another while allowing each of us the space to navigate our own grief journey.

That wasn’t always easy.

But it was one of the greatest gifts we could have given each other.

If you’re walking through grief with your spouse today, remember this…

You’re on the same team.

Give each other grace.

Listen more than you try to fix.

Hold hands when there are no words.

And trust that God can strengthen not only broken hearts, but broken places in a marriage too.

“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NIV)

Today I’m especially thankful for my husband, Scott. We’ve walked through unimaginable heartache together, and by God’s grace, we’re still walking side by side.

🐞 Hope Remains
Day 4: Joy and Sorrow Can Share the Same Moment

Today I was in the pool with my grandchildren.

We were laughing as I taught them how to blow water through the end of a pool noodle. It was one of those ordinary summer moments that fills your heart.

And then, almost without warning, another thought came.

Brittany would have loved this.

I found myself wondering…

Would she have been the one making the biggest splash?

Would she have been the fun aunt to all these little ones?

Or maybe…would she have been a mama herself?

Those are questions I’ll never have answers to this side of heaven.

For just a moment, my heart hurt.

But then I looked around.

I saw little faces laughing.

I heard giggles.

I watched another generation making memories.

And I realized something.

Missing Brittany didn’t steal the joy from today.

It simply reminded me how deeply she is still loved.

For a long time, I thought I had to choose between grieving and living.

I thought laughing somehow meant I wasn’t missing her enough.

I know now that isn’t true.

I can miss my daughter with all my heart…

…and still laugh with my grandchildren.

I can wonder what might have been…

…while thanking God for what is.

That doesn’t diminish my love for Brittany.

It honors the God who has carried me through every season and continues to give me reasons to smile.

If you’re grieving today, I want you to know it’s okay to laugh.

It’s okay to make new memories.

It’s okay to find joy again.

Joy is not the absence of grief.

Sometimes, it’s the evidence that hope is still growing.

“Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
Psalm 30:5 (NIV)

Has there been a moment when grief and joy showed up at the same time in your life? I’d love to hear your story.

🐞 Hope Remains
Day 3: We Thought We Had Forever

When I look at pictures of Brittany, I don’t just see a little girl.

I see birthday parties.

Disney movies playing in the living room.

Sonic dates with Daddy.

The excitement of becoming a big sister.

I see two parents who believed tomorrow would look a lot like today.

Isn’t that how life usually feels?

We tuck our children into bed, make plans for next week, dream about tomorrow, and never imagine that life could change in an instant.

We thought we had forever.

We didn’t know a rare disease was quietly stealing pieces of our little girl.

We didn’t know our faith would be tested in ways we could never have imagined.

We didn’t know that some of our most ordinary days would one day become the memories we’d treasure most.

Looking back, I wish I had known just how precious those everyday moments were.

Not because I would have loved Brittany more.

I couldn’t have.

But maybe I would have lingered a little longer.

One more bedtime story.

One more hug.

One more trip to Sonic.

One more “I love you.”

Grief has taught me that ordinary moments are often the ones that become extraordinary memories.

So if you’re reading this today, don’t wait for a special occasion.

Hold your people close.

Say “I love you.”

Take the picture.

Make the memory.

Because none of us are promised tomorrow, but we are given today.

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
Psalm 90:12 (NIV)

Today, I’d love to ask you a simple question:

What’s one ordinary memory of someone you love that has become extraordinary because they’re gone?

I’d love to read your stories.

🐞 Hope Remains
Day 2: Meet My Brittany

Yesterday, I shared a little about my grief.

Today, I’d like you to meet the little girl who forever changed my heart.

Her name was Brittany.

Long before Batten disease became part of our story, she was simply a little girl who loved life with her whole heart.

She loved all things Disney, especially A Goofy Movie. If a Disney movie was playing, she was happy.

She also had a standing date with her daddy. A trip to Sonic wasn’t just about getting a drink or a snack. It was special time together, and those daddy-daughter dates became some of the sweetest memories our family still treasures.

But one of my favorite things about Brittany was watching her become a big sister.

She was so proud of Hannah from the very beginning. She loved to hold her, help with her, and shower her with affection. When I look at this picture today, I don’t just see two little girls.

I see a little girl with the biggest heart.

When people hear that you’ve lost a child, they often want to know about the illness or the day your child died.

But that’s not where I want Brittany’s story to begin.

I want it to begin with the little girl who loved Disney movies, looked forward to Sonic dates with Daddy, and absolutely adored being a big sister.

Because that’s who she was.

Batten disease was part of her story.

It was never her identity.

Today, I hope you’ll remember Brittany not for how her life ended, but for how beautifully she lived.

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights…”
James 1:17 (NIV)

Today, I’d love to hear about someone you’re missing. Tell me their name or share one thing that made them uniquely them. Maybe it was a favorite restaurant, a song they loved, or a tradition your family still carries on.

Let’s remember the people who changed our lives by celebrating the way they lived.

🐞 Hope Remains
Day 1: You Are Not Alone

If you’re reading this because you’ve experienced the loss of someone you love, I want you to know something before you read another word…

You are not alone.

Grief has a way of convincing us that no one else understands. It can make us feel invisible while the rest of the world keeps moving. People return to work, celebrate birthdays, make plans, and laugh again, while you’re simply trying to make it through one more day.

I know that feeling because I’ve lived it.

Twenty-seven years ago, our beautiful six-year-old daughter, Brittany, went home to be with Jesus after a courageous battle with Batten disease. There were days I didn’t know how I would keep putting one foot in front of the other. There were questions I couldn’t answer, tears that wouldn’t stop, and moments when the ache of missing her literally took my breath away.

Yet, through every season of grief, one thing has remained constant…

God has been faithful.

Not because the pain disappeared. Not because life returned to what it once was. But because He never left me in my sorrow. He met me there, gently reminding me that even in the deepest heartbreak, hope can still be found.

That’s why I’m beginning this journey.

For the next 30 days, I’ll be sharing pieces of our story, lessons I’ve learned through grief, Scriptures that carried me when I couldn’t stand on my own, and reminders that hope and sorrow can live side by side.

Whether your loss is recent or happened many years ago, my prayer is that these words will remind you that you are seen, you are loved, and you don’t have to walk this road alone.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18 (NIV)

If this post encouraged you, would you share it? My prayer is that together we can reach someone who needs hope today.

I’d also love to know who you’re remembering. If you’d like, leave their name in the comments. I’d be honored to remember them with you. ❤️

Sometimes I wonder if the sky looks the same from heaven.

Tonight’s sunset stopped me in my tracks. The deep blue storm clouds above and the brilliant crimson light breaking through the horizon made me think about how breathtaking God’s creation is, even in a world that’s still broken.

If He paints skies like this for us here, imagine the beauty of the place He has prepared for those who love Him.

Maybe that’s why moments like this stir something so deep inside us. They remind us that this world isn’t all there is. They awaken a longing for home, for the people we miss, and for the promise that one day our faith will become sight.

Until then, I’ll keep looking up and thanking God for the glimpses of His glory He gives us along the way. 🐞

Today I was reminded again why sharing Brittany’s story matters . 🐞

A sweet woman from TikTok reached out to me after losing her son in a vehicle accident last year. She thought she had ordered my devotional, but I had a feeling she may have accidentally only ordered the companion journal. I asked her to let me know when it arrived and sure enough, it was just the journal.

So I sent her the devotional, my memoir, and a small handheld cross.

This morning she messaged me after finishing the book and shared something that left me in tears. Months ago, her doctor had recommended a GriefShare group, but the meeting time never worked with her schedule. After reading my book and seeing the information about GriefShare, she searched again and discovered a new group starting nearby on Sundays, the one day she is always off work. She signed up immediately.

She said, “If you had never sent me this book, I would have never known.”

I don’t believe moments like that are accidents.

If I’m honest, this season has been heavy. I’ve felt exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, and full of questions at times. But this morning God gently reminded me again that pain is not wasted.

Sometimes we get to see a small glimpse of how God is weaving broken stories together for something bigger than ourselves. ❤️

Today we remember the moment the Holy Spirit filled the upper room and everything changed.

The same Spirit that gave boldness to the disciples still brings comfort, conviction, peace, wisdom, and power today.

I’m thankful that God did not leave us alone in our grief, struggles, or weakness. His Spirit still meets us right where we are.

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord Almighty.
Zechariah 4:6

Praying today that hearts would be refreshed, encouraged, and reminded that God is still moving. 🔥🕊️
