It took me a long time before I wanted to gather in a room with other bereaved parents.
My son’s death had undone me and I had no capacity for other people’s raw grief where I might not have an escape.
I wish I hadn’t been so reluctant and waited so long because what I found when I finally walked into the in-person community of other moms and dads who shared my loss, it was life giving, uplifting and utterly amazing.
So I want to extend an invitation to fellow broken hearts who hope for hope:
WHO? Bereaved parent & grandparents, and anyone who wants to better know how to comfort a grieving friend
WHAT? Our Hearts Are Home Fall Conference
WHEN? October 16-17, 2026
WHERE? Online or In Person
(If you can’t come on those days, you’ll receive all of the session recordings that remain available for two weeks following the conference.)
THERE IS NO COST TO ATTEND (EITHER OPTION!)

This is NOT your typical “Christian Conference” where what’s shared is memorized and rehashed in city after city. This is a unique opportunity to interact with parents who are walking the same broken road as you and are willing to reveal the ups and downs, ins and outs of navigating child loss.
I’ll repeat: there is NO COST to attend.
I cannot be there this fall because of my dad’s health but have benefitted from the many times I’ve attended in the past.



So often it has been the words of encouragement offered by other bereaved parents and the guiding light of someone a little ahead on the journey that have helped my heart hold on to hope.
So if you can, COME.
You may be nervous up to the very minute you show up or log on but I PROMISE you will not regret it.
