You don't have to walk this alone.
Grief and longing were never meant to be carried by ourselves. Our faith-based Christian support groups gather people who truly understand — meeting in person in cities across the United States and Australia, and online from anywhere by private, secure video chat. Come as you are. There's a seat here for you.
A safe, gentle place to be fully known.
These life-changing burdens are simply too heavy to carry alone. Our groups exist for one reason: so that no one struggling with infertility or the loss of a baby has to sit in that pain by themselves.
Private & secure. What is shared in the group stays in the group. We meet in trusted spaces — quiet rooms in person, or private, encrypted video chat online — so you can speak freely, cry openly, and be honest about the hard days without fear.
Led by people who have lived it. Every group is guided by a trained volunteer leader who has walked their own road through infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, or child loss. They aren't there to fix you. They're there to sit with you, because they remember what it was like to need someone to sit with them.
Always free to attend. There is never a cost to join a group. This is ministry, not a program — a gift given freely to anyone who needs it.
Faith-based, and genuinely welcoming. We are a Christian ministry that welcomes and offers support to people of all faiths as well as no faith. We try to represent Jesus Christ in all we do, and to treat people as He would — with tenderness, patience, and no judgment.
Three simple, no-pressure steps.
Coming to a group for the first time can feel like a lot. We've made it as gentle as possible.

Find the group that fits your journey.
No two stories of infertility or loss are the same, so our groups aren't either. Each one is shaped around a particular kind of grief and longing, so you can be surrounded by people who understand your specific road.
Primary Infertility
For those longing for their first child and facing the ache of an empty nursery. A place to grieve month after month, to hold onto hope, and to feel understood by others waiting on the same promise.
Secondary Infertility
For parents struggling to grow their family after having a child. A quiet grief the world often overlooks — here it is seen, honored, and shared among people who feel it too.
PAIL — Pregnancy After Infertility & Loss
For the tender, complicated season of carrying a pregnancy after infertility or loss — where joy and fear live side by side. A group to hold both, with people who understand that this hope feels fragile.
See PAIL locationsAdoption
For those considering, waiting through, or walking the beautiful and sometimes uncertain path of adoption. Support for the questions, the paperwork, the waiting, and the growing love.
Loss
For families grieving miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. A sacred space to say your baby's name, to remember, and to grieve alongside others who know this particular heartbreak.
Moms of Miracles
For mothers who longed, waited, and welcomed a child after infertility or loss — and carry the joy alongside the memory of everything it took to get here. A place to celebrate and to keep processing, together.
Running Out of Options
For those who have reached the end of treatments, resources, or the answers they hoped for, and are facing what comes next. Gentle companionship for one of the loneliest crossroads on this journey.
Men-Only Group
For husbands and fathers who grieve too — often quietly, often while trying to be strong for everyone else. A place to set the weight down among other men who understand.

Memorial Services
When a baby is lost, their life still deserves to be honored. Our memorial services offer families a sacred way to remember and grieve together — each one closing with a live butterfly release, a symbol of hope and life beyond loss.
