Ashley Pittman lost a set of twins, seven months into her pregnancy through premature labor. Will Jr. took his last breath in her husband's arms and Aree'a took her last breath on Ashley's chest.

Ashley struggled with her grief for the next several years, believing her pain is what kept her connected to the twins. During that time, her marriage started to unravel to the point that her husband had an affair.

Eight years after deeply struggling with this huge loss, God suddenly lifted the weight of grief, delivering Ashley from shame, guilt and sorrow, making her feel like she could breathe again.

Ashley encourages other parents not to give up on continually asking God to bring a healing to their broken soul, while giving them permission to move toward that healing and allow time for it to happen.

The interview ends with Ashley praying a beautiful prayer over the listeners.

Ashley K. Pittman had always desired to have a family, and almost as soon as her family was given to her, it was taken away. For a long time, she held on to the pain. She shut out the person who loved her the most, her husband. And even after they were blessed with more children, she still wasn’t free to live her life, to love freely, and be there for her children. She was simply existing through the shame and guilt she felt from the loss of her babies. Ashley is finally free of the heartache and grief that kept her crippled. She is now locking arms with other women and walking with them through the heartache to H.O.P.E. The freedom to breathe, love, and live again, especially after extreme loss is possible.
