<p>Join us for a conversation with Alyson and Kelsi of <a href="https://www.foreknownministries.org"><strong>Foreknown Ministries</strong></a> about the power of community for grieving mothers. Alyson and Kelsi are best friends who lost their babies two weeks apart from each other. In the deepest of grief, they leaned on their faith and friendship.</p><p><br>Now they host weekend retreats, digital support groups, and a texting community for women who have experienced pregnancy loss.
