Why Hope After Hardship?

During a relatively short period of time, I experienced the preterm loss of my baby, was diagnosed with cancer, and walked the challenging path of foster parenting. These varying difficulties taught me three profound truths: First, while every person’s journey is unique, we all face hardship. Second, every hardship creates loss, and all loss brings grief. Third, Jesus draws especially near to us in our difficulties, and grief can become an unexpected teacher in drawing closer to Him.

Whether you’re facing changes in health, relationships, career, or dreams, you’re not walking alone. Hope After Hardship is where we explore finding God’s hope in every season of grief, no matter what hardship you’re walking through.

Testimonials

I’ve worked with people from various backgrounds, all going through different difficulties. Here’s what some had to say.

  • Hannah

    My 1:1 call with Kelsey was amazing! In our first call she was able to open my eyes to so many things and help change my view on my current struggles. She meets you where you are at and shares reasonable steps that you can take to feel stronger in yourself. I feel listened to and less alone in my grief since I started working with her and I’m looking forward to continuing working with her!

  • Heather

    Kelsey is phenomenal! She helped me even when I thought I didn’t need help. She knows grief. She provided resources that helped me overcome my own grief in my own way! Highly recommend!!

  • Lori

    When I decided to do grief coaching with Kelsey I didn’t realize how much I needed it and how much I would benefit from it. I knew it would help me but I didn’t know how much it would bless my life. I have learned many ways to recognize and honor my grief and that wasn’t something that I knew I needed. I have developed new skills in understanding my grief better and how to honor my grief and what to do when waves of grief hit me. I have set new goals and am enjoying new learning.
    Kelsey really helped guide me through this process and has an amazing program. I would highly recommend Kelsey and her coaching to anyone that would like help with understanding their grief more. She is very in tune with the grief process and is great at helping you through recognizing and learning. This experience has helped me in more ways than I can explain.
