Why, God? Why didn’t You answer our prayers? How could You let this happen after everything we’ve been through? Do You know how much this hurts?

Ashley Opliger has wrestled with these same questions in the depths of miscarriage, loss, and grief. Yet through it all, she found the steady presence of God’s grace and hope.

Ashley is the author of the USA Today bestselling book Cradled in Hope and the founder and CEO of Bridget’s Cradles, a national nonprofit that has brought comfort and healing to more than 30,000 bereaved families in 1,600 hospitals across all 50 states. She is a compassionate friend to anyone walking through the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, grief, or the death of a loved one.

In this heartfelt conversation, Ashley shares how she has learned to grieve with hope and trust God in the hardest places:

Though we were not made for this broken world, grief will touch every life. Listen in as Ashley’s story offers real grace, healing, and hope for anyone navigating miscarriage, loss, or the sting of death.

“We need to extend the same grace to ourselves we would extend to someone else if they were telling us their story.”

“Most of the time, the things that come across as insensitive are well-intended, but poorly delivered."

“The sting of death is awful. But that's the point. That's why Jesus came as a sacrifice, so he could overcome it.”
