Synopsis

Real Hope for Your Broken Heart

● A safe space to grieve your baby—where tears, questions, and raw emotions are welcome

● Honest encouragement and biblical wisdom from a mom who lost her baby and found healing in Jesus

● Gentle guidance through sorrow—from heartbreak to healing, and pain to purpose

● Gospel-centered hope for grieving moms after miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss

A mother's heart is shattered and forever changed when she loses a precious baby. The sorrow runs deep, the questions feel unanswerable, and the emptiness is overwhelming. Cradled in Hope is a Christ-centered book for grieving moms that offers real comfort, biblical truth, and compassionate guidance through the heartbreak of pregnancy and infant loss.

Ashley Opliger, host of the Cradled in Hope podcast, understands this pain intimately. When her daughter, Bridget, was born into Heaven at 24 weeks, Ashley wrestled with sadness, anger, and profound questions about God's goodness. But in the midst of her grief, she uncovered a tender truth: Jesus not only cradles our babies in Heaven—He also holds and heals our broken hearts here on earth. Ashley then founded Bridget's Cradles in her daughter's memory, a national nonprofit that donates knit and crocheted cradles to hospitals in all 50 states to lovingly hold stillborn babies. The ministry now comforts thousands of grieving families through these cradles, support groups, remembrance events, and online hope-filled resources. Through this calling, Ashley has witnessed firsthand how God brings beauty from brokenness and purpose from even the deepest pain.

With grace and vulnerability, Ashley guides heartbroken moms on a journey to trust Him to heal their hearts, restore their joy, and use their grief for good. Through raw honesty, heartfelt prayers, and Scripture-based encouragement, Cradled in Hope creates a sacred space for grieving moms to cry, ask why, feel the weight of their sadness, and begin to heal—not alone, but alongside Ashley, the Bridget's Cradles community, and the comforting presence of Jesus. If your arms feel painfully empty, Cradled in Hope will draw you to the embrace of Jesus—and remind you that through faith in Him, you'll spend eternity with your baby in Heaven.

Goodreads review by Paul Farris on July 23, 2025

Though this book was written for moms who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, I truly believe Cradled in Hope is for anyone who has experienced grief, trauma, or deep heartbreak. I wish I would have had this book following the sudden loss of my brother in 2016. The book......more
