## Resource

The Christmas season can feel especially tender for a mom who has lost her baby. In this episode, Brooke Schuelke, Jennie Parks, and Kristin Hernandez talk about walking through Advent—a season of longing and hope. Together, we reflect on how Advent mirrors the experience of grief, the comfort of Emmanuel—God with us, and practical ways to hold both sorrow and joy in this holiday season. Wherever you find yourself this Christmas season, we pray this conversation points you to Christ, reminds you to rest in Him, and reassures you that you don't have to feel festive to celebrate the deep hope of Christmas.
