NEAR TO THE BROKENHEARTED

You don't have to grieve alone.

A private community for Christian moms who have lost a child to suicide. Come as you are — messy, questioning, undone. You will be understood here.

A safe place for moms like us

“Near to the Brokenhearted” is my private Facebook group — a safe, gentle corner of the internet for Christian moms grieving the loss of a child to suicide. No explaining. No performing “fine.” Just moms who get it, walking this road together with Jesus.

Our name comes from Psalm 34:18: “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” (ESV) — because that is exactly where He meets us.

What happens inside

Weekly rhythm

Monday scripture, Tuesday check-ins, a Wednesday devotional, Thursday conversation, Friday podcast reminders, and a Saturday prayer thread. Sundays we rest.

Say their names

Your child’s name is spoken out loud and remembered with love here. Always.

Real prayer

We pray for each other — really pray, by name, for the hard days and the heavy nights.

Annual group cruise

Once a year we get away together — rest, laugh, cry, and make new memories side by side.


Is this group for you?

If you are a Christian mom grieving the loss of your child to suicide — yes, this is for you. Whether it has been two weeks or ten years. Whether you are angry, numb, or barely holding on. There is a seat saved for you.
