About Cradled in Hope | Gospel-Focused Podcast for Grieving Moms
Jesus cradles us in hope as He cradles our babies in Heaven. What if the hope of Heaven had the power to heal your heart after the loss of your baby? Miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss are heartbreaking experiences that no mother should ever have to endure. Drowning in sadness, you cry out in pain, "God, where are You? Why did You let my baby die?" You feel abandoned by Him and question His goodness. How will you ever live without your precious baby? Will you ever see him or her again? Ashley Opliger asked these same questions when her daughter, Bridget, was born into Heaven at 24 weeks in her first pregnancy. In a crisis of faith, Ashley chose to surrender her suffering and allow God to heal her heart. She found purpose in her pain when she started Bridget's Cradles, a nonprofit that now comforts thousands of grieving families across the country. Through her own story of heartbreak, Ashley will guide you on a journey to trust God's promise to restore your joy, use your grief for good, and spend eternity with your baby in Heaven. Podcast episodes feature hope-filled messages, stories, and guest interviews. Grieving mothers will be reminded that though we may grieve, we do not grieve without hope! Episodes release on the 1st of every month. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a single episode!

Published 2 Nov 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] But I had a lovely friend whose baby is being honored here today as well, gifted me Ashley's book, Cradle of Hope. And as we went through each chapter of the book together, I learned more and more about Bridget's Cradles and the ministry that it has for families that have gone through similar things that we have gone through. Being able to raise the money for this ministry meant a lot, not only to Kendall and I, but also to our families and the community that surrounded us as we lost Junie last year. Not only was this a way for us to continue to honor Junie, but we also understand the impact that it has on families who received a cradle or a memory keepsake in honor of their babies in heaven. […]
