Thank you for visiting our website. We’re glad you’re here.
If you are a bereaved parent, we hope you’ll find that spending time with other parents brings comfort and encouragement. Through online and in-person Gatherings, book studies, GriefShare, support groups, conferences, and other events, parents have an opportunity to share about their children and experience community with others, as they are challenged to trust Jesus, the only One who can truly comfort our broken hearts.
If you have not lost a child but would like to learn how to better comfort those who are grieving, we hope that Our Hearts Are Home will be a resource to help that happen.
Spring 2024 Conference
We hope you’ll join us online or in Lynchburg, VA for this special opportunity to gather with other parents who have lost children, and with other believers who want to learn how to better comfort a grieving friend. Be challenged, inspired, comforted, and encouraged from our time together.
Until Then: Stories of Loss and Hope
Child loss is difficult to explain if you haven't been there, as it is with most things in life. The parents who have shared their stories in Until Then: Stories of Loss and Hope have experienced just that—the grief of losing a child. Within each chapter, you will find the story of a child who is deeply loved and missed beyond measure. You will get a glimpse of the shock and devastation that became a reality for each parent, but in reading their stories, you will also observe how God has held them through each painful step. His loving-kindness and faithfulness to them are clearly seen, even in the midst of their sorrow.
If you have experienced the loss of a child, then the authors hope that reading accounts of others who have walked this path will bring new insights, a measure of comfort, and evidence that you can trust God with your life and circumstances. For those who have not experienced child loss, the book will help equip you to come alongside a bereaved parent in their greatest time of need.

“Having attended a book study group, we continued on with the connections in the monthly support group. These were our first connections with a support group since losing our daughter in 2018. It felt so comfortable to be with other grieving parents.” — Tat's Parents
“In our grief of losing a child, it is often hard to connect with others who could possibly understand the pain we feel. I found comfort meeting with this group of parents.” — Caleb’s Mom
"I really appreciated the opportunity to share our story without judgment, and with a group of people who get it. I felt understood and less alone in my grief." — Levi's Mom
OHAH facilitators are not trained grief counselors but are simply bereaved parents and fellow journeyers who are navigating the difficult path of child loss. Participating in an OHAH event should not be viewed in any way as a substitute for professional counseling.
