Thank you, Ashlee, for this amazing podcast. I lost my daughter at 28 weeks in November 2023… you are helping my heart heal. Highly recommend to all grieving moms.

I was feeling exceptionally lonely and depressed 6 months after my daughter passed away. This podcast has provided so much healing already, and is truly a life giving resource to the hurting mama who needs to know she is not alone, her feelings are valid, and she is seen and loved.

I very recently experienced a pregnancy loss. I was hurting and looking for anything to bring me comfort and hope. I found this podcast and have been listening to it as I have been taking long walks to deal with my grief. It has helped bring me comfort and hope in a time where I didn’t think I’d find any. I am grateful to all the brave women who have shared their stories to help others who are feeling alone in their struggles. We are stronger together than we are alone. Thank you.

Having just had two losses in 6 months, this podcast has helped me feel so seen and directed to God and faith when I haven’t had the wherewithal to seek him out on my own. Thank you for these episodes and these stories. ❤️

This is a great place to find support and comfort for those of us who’ve lost a baby. Highly recommend!

I found this after losing my son Gabriel at 19 weeks unexpectedly. I look forward to a new episode each Thursday.

I lost my newborn daughter to HIE last year, and this podcast has been an incredible resource that I am so thankful for ♥️ Loss can feel so lonely. As I sought out other stories in the early days of my grieving, I found that many were lacking the lens of faith in God. This Podcast helps to remind me that I am not alone, and brings the hope that there is joy to be had even amidst mourning.

I recently lost my baby to miscarriage and am struggling deeply with all of the accompanying emotions: anger, grief, shock, overwhelm, desolation, isolation, and the list goes on. I have desperately sought out resources to help me get through this dark time. This podcast is the first thing I’ve listened to that really felt helpful. I am Jewish, but I don’t have a super strong belief system or practice. Not being a Christian, I still find The Morning to be so comforting and welcoming - even, and especially, the more religious episodes. It is done in what feels, to me at least, an inclusive way. Thank you for this podcast.

I found this podcast after my dear friend’s stillbirth to her daughter Mina. It’s really helped me walk in her shoes a little and has given me tangible ways to support her in this terrible time. I love listening and have learned SO much.

I absolutely love this podcast. I am a mother to two babies from miscarriage and recently a son in September 2021 that was stillborn from Trisomy 13. This podcast has been one of the things that has kept me going. Hearing other women's stories that I can relate to, bring hope and encouragement. I'm so thankful for this!

I just lost my first baby to stillbirth last month. A friend sent me this resource, and it has been so helpful. I’ve loved hearing other women’s stories. I feel less alone and more encouraged after listening to an episode. I’m learning how to grieve from others who have already walked the path. Thank you for your vulnerability and openness! Could not recommend more!

I’m so thankful for this podcast. Finding joy amongst grief is challenging, so I’m thankful for the encouragement of this podcast on this journey.

Ashlee handles grieving hearts with such care and tenderness. Every time I listen to an episode I feel seen, I feel challenged and I learn something new. Thank you for this invaluable resource, you are a blessing!

I am so thankful I found The Joyful Morning! This podcast is like a healing balm on my broken heart. I am so thankful for the relatability I find within these episodes from the women who share. Thank you!

This podcast was exactly what I needed after my second miscarriage within a year. I felt so defective and alone and Ashley’s guests reminded me that God loved me in my brokenness and so many women had gone before me. I’m so thankful for the bravery of the women who share their stories.

When I lost my son I felt so alone and lost and hurt beyond words. While I normally turned to my Bible and prayer amidst difficulties, I found it very difficult while in the depths of grieving my son. But when I came across this podcast, I felt heard. I felt less alone. And I was reminded of God’s faithfulness and His love, and my hope began to grow again. Every episode has been helpful, even four years after the loss of my son.

The Joyful Mourning has been so helpful and instrumental to me and my healing. Being able to hear others bring words to some of my feelings is empowering and helpful to know that I am not alone!

When I left the hospital after our daughter was stillborn, I felt like there was no way I could survive. A few weeks later, I started listening to this podcast and began to listen to an episode a day. Just listening to a real mom’s story of life after loss gave me hope that I was not alone and could somehow navigate life after loss. Baby loss is so isolating and lonely — these stories will give you support in all of the facets of grief after losing a child.

So grateful for this podcast, to hear words of encouragement during such a difficult season. Sincere thanks.

The podcast (& The Joyful Mourning) has been such a blessing during a time of loss. There are so many emotions you can feel during a miscarriage and it seems like there is no place to turn to for help. Heading the stories of others who have suffered is a blessing through the healing process. Even 1.5 yrs later questions and emotions swirl my mind but can be put to ease with the comfort found in hearing from others.

In my early days (weeks, months…that’s as far as I’ve gotten so far) of grief, I’ve often felt like I was living in a foreign world where no one speaks my language. This podcast has been my soothing, safe, validating place. Each time I listen, I feel heard, understood, loved, encouraged and challenged to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Even more importantly, this podcast has helped me get the words to share my ache and steward it well.

The Joyful Mourning podcast has been so helpful in my journey of grief after losing my daughter, Ella, shortly after she was born! I don’t feel aline in my grief and the podcast has provided many practical ways to celebrate Ella and navigate life situations after loss! It’s the best!

This podcast is such a blessing. My husband and I went through 2 miscarriages in the span of 8 months recently. One at 9 weeks, one at 13 weeks. This podcast helped me pick up the pieces. I’m still very broken and always will be in certain ways, but this podcast brought me so much comfort and helped me when I had no idea how to help myself or move forward in any way.

The Joyful Mourning is a gift for all of the mothers who are members of the club no one wants to be a part of. While my heart breaks for the women who bravely share their stories and I wish they could have their little ones with them, I am grateful for their vulnerability and resolve to honor their babies and support other bereaved mothers. There is joy to be found in mourning, and the Joyful Mourning is a huge source of the joy and the community that is life giving in the midst of great loss.

This podcast is honestly a gift from god. My son Xander was stillborn on April 24,2021 at 33wks and 6 days. I have been looking for something just like this and I’m so happy I found it. Thank you so much

I miscarried my first baby on 3/24 and have felt so alone. This podcast has been helpful to remind me I am not alone, that I will not always feel grief so heavily and that there is hope after pregnancy loss

This podcast has been such a gift as I experienced a miscarriage. There was so much comfort hearing other women’s stories, and it honestly helped me get through some of the hardest days. Thank you for this gift.

His words here on how pushing through is worth it gives me hope and encouragement to keep trying with my husband because this is the most painful, hard thing I’ve ever done. Grieving our daughter while trying to live and then trying to have another baby right after. It is no understatement to say this is hard and beyond me. Jesus is what we need.

I lost my baby boy 3 weeks ago on Jan 04,2021. I was 24w pregnant. I’ve heard a few episodes and I’m already so invested. Everything she says is on point on how I’m feeling. The loss of my baby is the hardest thing I’ve been through. I’m glad I found this podcast and I’m thankful for it. Will listen to it through my grief. 🤍👼🏼

This podcast has been so helpful to me after my son went home to heaven at 33 weeks. Ashlee and her guests have put my emotions into words. I so appreciate hearing that I am not alone when this journey feels so lonely. Thank you!

So many times we, women who have endured a miscarriage, simply suffer in silence. The fact that this podcast puts emphasis on God, prayer, and hope to assist women who want to get pregnant again. The freedom that I felt in this space was awe inspiring. It encourages women that it’s okay to have some of the negative thoughts that they may be experiencing. Liberating!!!

This podcast has carried me through the heartbreak of carrying my son with a life limiting diagnosis and the grief of losing him two days after birth. The support and community you provide for hurting mommas is life changing. Thank you Ashlee!

I was in the hospital just 24hrs after traumatically losing my daughter and fighting for my life when I discovered this podcast. I continued listening to it non stop for the following days. I found such comfort in Ashlees voice and other women’s stories of loss. I was not alone. Thank you Ashlee for starting this podcast I can’t imagine what I would have done in the early days without this podcast. 💜

Thank you so much for this podcast. My son was stillborn at 33 weeks. This is helping me process. Thank you!

Grateful for this voice after losing my son recently. Hearing the stories here has given my hope and strengthened my faith. Thank you!

So joyful and supportive! It’s been a difficult journey for our family and having the love, faith, and support has been a tremendous help for me. Thank you for doing what you do!

This podcast has been so helpful and encouraging to me as I’ve battled infertility and miscarriages. I’ve shared it with multiple people and pray it has encouraged them as well.

The Christ centered was of this podcast and everyone who is chosen to come on is really impactful. It is full of hope and practical help that grieves with hope and is never incongruent with Gods word. I have been so helped by this podcast. Thank you!

Just the most beautiful resource for this mamas hurting heart. I share it with everyone I know who has suffered child loss. Cannot thank you enough for this!

I was looking for something to help me through grieving the loss of my baby daughter at 19 weeks pregnant. This podcast has perfectly fit the bill. I love that faith is supported and encouraged. This has been the most difficult trial I have ever experienced and am very thankful for this podcast ❤️

Such biblical truth and wisdom for anyone going through a miscarriage or for anyone wanting to help a friend navigate her grief.

A good friend told me about the Joyful Morning Community and Podcast after my husband and I lost our twin sons at 19 weeks. This podcast and online community have been such a blessing to my hurting heart and have breathed fresh hope, encouragement and comfort into my weary and hurting soul. Ashlee shares openly and honestly about her loss while pointing women to the only source of hope, peace and joy that can be found in the midst of such tragedy- Jesus Christ. She interviews women who also have experienced loss and who share this hope. If you’ve experienced miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss, this podcast will encourage your soul and will help you see that you are not alone in your grief and that hope and joy can be found amidst mourning.

The messages for this podcast help me to breathe a little easier when I’m in the middle of the darkness of grief. Thank you for what you do.

The Joyful Morning is always uplifting, if only to be reminded that we're not alone.

This podcast has been such a ministry for my soul as I heal from my second miscarriage. Hearing different women’s stories and the hope they have in Christ through all they’ve been through has been so powerful. So very thankful for the Joyful Mourning!

I love how relatable this podcast is for me. My husband and I have experienced three miscarriages, most recently we lost our son Levi, at almost 16 weeks pregnant. This podcast has been amazing in helping me to handle my grief as well as know that I am not alone. The guest speakers always give such encouraging words of hope.

This podcast identified exactly what I’m going through. First doctor appointment tomorrow following a miscarriage a few months ago. Feeling so blessed and fortunate that we have this opportunity and life and feeling so scared. This podcast was validating and heartwarming. Exactly what I needed.

I’m thankful for this community while never wanting to be a part of it. This podcast has provided hope and truth and Jesus.

This has been a beautiful treasure to find. I was wanting to find a podcast like this-coming from a Christian perspective. After having 9 miscarriages in a row, I needed to hear these stories and to have them bring hope and encouragement to my weary soul. Ashley, your soothing voice and Christmas promises have been so so healing to me. Thank you for your openness and vulnerability that you have brought to this podcast. I’m so grateful for you and feel like I’m sitting down with a best friend over coffee with you when I listen. 💕💕💕

Although I haven’t personally experienced this loss, this podcast is beyond helpful for me to deeply learn how to support, encourage, pray, and be there for my loved ones who have. Thank you for sharing such intimate stories and for better equipping me to be Jesus’ hands and feet to my loved ones who suffer these losses.
