Some of the deepest grief in our churches is the grief we don`t always see. 🕊️

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, and we want to encourage pastors and church leaders to make space for the mothers, fathers, and families in their congregations who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss.

For some, this grief is recent. For others, it has been carried quietly for years.

A simple acknowledgment during a Sunday service, a prayer for grieving families, or sharing a support resource can be a meaningful reminder that their loss is seen, their child is remembered, and they do not have to walk through grief alone.

Through Care Net of Puget Sound`s Healing Tide ministry, women who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss can find free, confidential, and compassionate support through one-on-one mentoring, support groups, and retreats.

To our pastors and church partners: We invite you to help bring awareness to this ministry within your congregations.

We`ve made resources available for churches to share, including Healing Tide materials that can be incorporated into church presentations and ministry outreach.

Because of you, stories like Daisy`s are possible. 💜

When Daisy (not her real name) discovered she was pregnant, she was overwhelmed with uncertainty. She worried about her family`s reaction, her financial situation, and whether she could still pursue the future she had dreamed of.

But when she walked through the doors of Care Net of Puget Sound, she found a safe place to share her fears, ask questions, and receive compassionate care.

Through thoughtful conversations and continued support, Daisy found the encouragement she needed as she considered her next steps.

Today, Daisy has chosen to parent. 💜

Her story is a beautiful reminder of why your generosity matters. Because of faithful supporters like you, women facing unexpected pregnancies have access to free, compassionate care, practical resources, and a team ready to walk alongside them.

Thank you for helping make moments like these possible. Your generosity is making a difference, one life and one family at a time. 💕

We’re looking for ultrasound volunteers at our Tacoma and Federal Way Centers! 💜
