Episode 40: Friendship After the Loss of a Baby with Jennie Parks & Kristin Hernandez

Friendship after the loss of a baby can feel complicated. In this episode, Kristin Hernandez and Jennie Parks discuss how grief can reshape relationships—deepening some while straining others. They reflect on how their expectations of friendship changed after loss, things they would have done differently, the emotional labor of maintaining connections, and the struggle of navigating grief together. Kristin and Jennie share about the gift of friendship with other Hope Moms who “get it”, as well as the value of friendship with women with different stories. Together we explore the importance of friendship, while fixing our eyes on Jesus–our true source of worth and the friend who never leaves or forsakes.
