𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐈𝐆 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒

Since starting this blog in 2020, we’ve wanted it to be a resource + a community for those navigating grief. A way for others searching for answers to know they’re not alone. To shed light on the fact that even in our deepest sorrow, God shows up.

We’ve spent years brainstorming what we want to do to use This Hopeful Hive to accomplish our goal of spreading HOPE. Finally, Justin and I are beyond humbled to announce the launch of

𝐊𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒:

We remember finding ourselves in a lost place years ago. After the funeral, after the calls and casseroles stopped, after our reality was forever changed – we still had to live. We had to learn how to live for our own survival and most importantly for our four year old daughter that still needed us. She didn’t need a shell of the parents she used to have. We were deeply aware of this and so we kept moving – running. When we finally mustered the courage to go on a trip, it was hard. Ella had found comfort in playing with American Girl dolls and so for her, we took a short weekend trip to Nashville. It wasn’t easy. Honestly, it was really, REALLY hard. However, we quickly realized that giving our girl ways to find joy was the best possible healing we could ask for. Through her joy, we were able to find JOY, too. Here’s where our first plan comes into play:

✨Because every broken heart deserves a moment to heal.

✨Because every grieving heart deserves HOPE.
