Hi everyone! šŸ¤

My name is Dana, and I created this page with the hope of bringing together women who are walking through a season of waiting.

A little about my why…

On December 4, 2025, my husband and I went to our appointment to see our first baby. We were overwhelmed with excitement after praying for the Lord to bless us with a child. It felt like our dreams were finally coming true.

Instead, we were told our baby had no heartbeat and that I was experiencing a missed miscarriage.

Our precious daughter, Selah, had gone to be with Jesus.

When we felt ready, we started trying to conceive again. But no one prepares you for the heaviness of grieving the life you imagined while still hoping and praying for your miracle baby.

I’ve survived…
• The baby shower that never happened.
• The bump that never grew.
• The kicks I never got to feel.
• The nursery that never got decorated.
• The due date that came and went with no baby.

I say ā€œsurvivedā€ because that’s exactly what it has felt like.

This season has been one of daily surrender. It has stretched my faith, exposed my fears, and drawn me closer to the Lord in ways I never expected.

I created this space because I’m still waiting.

I haven’t reached the chapter where I’m pregnant again, hearing my baby’s heartbeat, or holding my miracle in my arms.

I long and pray for that every single day. But after loss and disappointment, hope can sometimes feel difficult to hold onto.

That’s why this page exists.

I don’t know exactly what this community will become, but I do know this: I am not the only woman walking through a season of waiting.

Our stories may look different, but we all know the ache of longing for something our hearts deeply desire.

If that’s you, I want you to know you’re not alone.

My prayer is that this becomes a place where we can share our stories, pray for one another, be honest about every emotion we carry, and remind each other of God’s faithfulness—even when we can’t yet see what He’s doing. I pray we would learn to surrender this season to the Lord and one day look back with gratitude at the beautiful testimonies He wrote through our waiting. Whether you’re waiting for your first positive test, grieving the loss of a baby, longing to grow your family again, or simply trying to trust God through unanswered prayers, there is a place for you here. I truly wish I could hug every single one of you. Thank you for being here. -Dana šŸ¤
