May 2–3, 2026

This year, we honor the pages of your life—written in love, loss, and BRAVE becoming.

BRAVEher 2026 is a nurturing weekend where your story is cherished, your grief is seen, and your heart is held. Together, we affirm that while grief may root deep, your story continues to bloom—heart, mind, body, and soul.

Every memory is honored.
Every mother’s story matters.
Every heart is welcome here.

We see you. We stand with you.

We are BRAVEher—together. And together, our stories bloom.

2-Day Experience

A Full Weekend of Healing

Together, we’ll share stories, meals, gentle workshops, and meaningful rituals that honor both love and loss.
It’s a sacred space to remember our children, to rest our hearts, and to be reminded that God is still in our story—still blooming beauty through what remains.

"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.
