It’s been a very busy time for our pastors ministering at memorial services. It’s a season when people we know, and some of them very dear friends, are going through a time of grief. Sharing some of the many bible verses that helped me through my season of mourning when Berea Dannielle, our first daughter, passed away in 2015.
Trick Questions
Interesting how some normal questions have become somewhat trick questions to us, and to other parents who have experienced something similar. “If you’re a mom, I’d like you to stand up,” the preacher said.
New eBook Now Available
My short book is finally available in ebook version in Amazon! Giddy but a bit nervous, excited and humbled. And because today is also our dear Berea Dannielle‘s first birthday (both in earth and in heaven ?), you can get it for free from February 28 to March 1*!
Beyond Grief: It Does Get Better
Sharing one part of the upcoming “accidental” book where I tell the full story of what happened to our first child, and how God helped us through the season of what could have been a stressful pregnancy, of mourning, how things got better today, and how we can hope with certainty that tomorrow will be…
We Had a Daughter

Brei’s 2nd Battle: Hemorrhage
In the same ultrasound report where we found out that the cyst was gone, our second battle began.
