In this episode of Perspectives into Practice, I sit down with my dear friend Ashley to talk about something so many of us carry quietly, miscarriage, loss, and the dry, aching seasons that often follow. Ashley vulnerably shares her journey through the heartbreak of pregnancy loss and the unexpected spiritual numbness that came with it.

She opens up about how she struggled to feel God’s presence and how, in that silence, He was still near. He is providing small but powerful reminders of His love, including a devotional called Held and a yellow hummingbird that became a personal symbol of hope.

Together, we talk about:

• 
  

  What it means when Romans 8:26 –27 says the Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for words.

  
  


• 
  

  The comfort in Psalm 34:18 : “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.”

  
  


• 
  

  Why feeling “nothing” can actually be God’s protection.

  
  


• 
  

  The challenge of clinging to truth when our emotions fall short.

  
  


• 
  

  How healing begins when we keep showing up, one quiet moment at a time.

  
  

If you’ve ever felt far from God, or struggled to pray through pain, this episode is for you. Ashley’s story is a reminder that even in silence, God is not absent. He’s sitting with us in the sorrow, loving us through every unseen moment.
