What Participants Are Saying

“This conference helped me with the grieving process I am currently in with the loss of my son, James. I really enjoyed it and I can hardly wait for the next conference.” — Michelle, James’ Mom

“We are so refreshed from the encouraging words of wisdom shared both by those in the trenches of grief alongside us, and those further along in their own grief journeys. To be surrounded by so many faithfully rooted "grief mentors" was to feel the Father's love; oh how He loves us and goes before us. As a bereaved mom who is also a trained perinatal family loss advisor, this conference was significant for my own grief work, 5 years out from our daughter's heavenly birthday. We sorrow with deeper hope and praise Jesus in a new light as He used Our Hearts are Home to speak eternal truth and life to our weary hearts during the Spring 2024 Conference.” — Katalina’s Parents

“We lost our son only 3 months before attending this conference. I thought it would be impossible to go but we did it and it changed everything for us. The amount of hope and peace we felt when we left the conference was priceless. Please take a leap of faith and come to a conference Jesus desires to heal your pain and this is a great stepping stone to that.” — Madison, Colson’s Mom

“Even at seven years into grief with the traumatic loss of our daughter and volunteering in grief support since then, spending time with other bereaved parents is always helpful, informative and encouraging. I highly recommend their conferences, even online.” — Linda D.

“I attended this grief conference after losing my son to a tragic accident in 2016. He was an adult and the glue in relationships in our family, as we discovered. Its informal, down-home feel and honest sharing was refreshing. The Lord is at the center of the messages.” — Witt’s Mom

“The conference was so helpful to me as a bereaved mom. I was encouraged by the stories and transparency of the conference leaders and speakers in how they have moved from surviving to thriving in spite of dealing with their tragic circumstances.” — Marlene R.

OHAH facilitators are not trained grief counselors but are simply bereaved parents and fellow journeyers who are navigating the difficult path of child loss. Participating in an OHAH event should not be viewed in any way as a substitute for professional counseling.
