Help Stories Bloom for

Bereaved Mothers

bereaved mothers conference women talking

BRAVEher 2026 is a sacred gathering for mothers living with the unimaginable... the death of their child. Every woman who walks into this space carries a story of deep love and deep loss.

Your sponsorship helps create a safe place where she is met with understanding, tenderness, and support she can feel in her bones; a sacred place where God’s comfort feels close, steady, and gentle.

By partnering with Bereaved Together, you are not simply placing your logo on an event. You are helping build a community where stories are honored, grief is held, and love continues to bloom.

Your support makes it possible for mothers to connect, breathe, remember, and know they are not alone.

A Gathering Rooted in

Love, Courage & Faith

BRAVEher 2026 is designed to support bereaved mothers through remembrance rituals, grief-safe movement, storytelling, creative workshops, and meaningful connections. Programs are facilitated by trauma-informed leaders, wellness practitioners, and bereaved mothers who understand the weight of living with loss.

This event is more than a conference. It is a breath, a lifeline, and a moment for a grieving mother to feel seen and held in community. For many, it becomes a moment where God’s nearness meets them quietly in the places grief has touched the deepest.

Why Your Support Matters

From Grief to Growth

Your sponsorship directly impacts mothers who feel invisible in their grief. It helps create a space where mothers can experience comfort, connection, and the gentle strength that comes from community and faith. It allows us to offer scholarships, create beautiful remembrance experiences, provide trauma-informed facilitation, nourish their hearts, minds, and bodies, and build spaces that help mothers carry their grief with strength, softness, and support.

  • Scholarships for moms who otherwise couldn’t attend

  • Beautiful remembrance experiences to honor each child

  • Grief-informed facilitators, movement guides, and wellness practitioners

  • A safe and sacred environment for mothers to connect and rebuild capacity

"Finding Lisa, Bereaved Together, and attending the BRAVEher conference literally saved my life. I was a shell of myself after my son died. The speakers, swag bags, breakout sessions, movement, small group discussions, EVERYTHING the entire weekend was exactly what I needed to start to feel alive again!"

Jodie L.

"Attending BRAVEher last year opened my heart to this grief journey; to gentle, intentional healing and to connecting with the sisterhood of moms around me. I feel like I can breathe a little deeper and fly a little higher on this wild journey."

"Such a safe and sacred space"

As the days and years go by, I find that I sit in this headspace less, but having designated time to do so, surrounded by people who get it, was amazing. It gave me the space and time to dedicate to my first child. It gave me space to dig up feelings that I stuff down more often than I'd like to admit. I absolutely loved the live music and all of the special, personal touches. This was such a a safe and sacred space and I plan to make it a tradition to attend! I am so happy I attended this year.

"Gives me hope and strength"

This event gives me hope and the strength I need to get through my grief journey. Each year I have attended, I have been in such a different spot in my grief and each year I leave with a different feeling, a little bit of closure in certain areas, and a better understanding of my grief. The overall experience was welcoming - it felt like a whole different world, where I could talk about my angel babies and not be looked at differently.

"I was seen and acknowledged"

This (BRAVE Hope 2024) was a step forward in my journey, and was finally in a place where I could outwardly be Brendan's mom again & not hide my grief. Much needed! Lisa, you made a huge difference. You knew my name and greeted me. THAT was the best part of the day. I was seen and acknowledged. Having been a leader in women's' ministry for 20 years myself, I recognize that this is your calling, Lisa. Exactly where you belong. Thank you for making a difference.
