Sarah's Laughter

Compassionate support for women
experiencing infertility, stillbirth, or the
loss of an infant to SIDS

Offered for: Women

Sarah’s Laughter is a Christ centered support group for women who are walking through infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, or the loss of an infant. These experiences often carry a depth of grief that is difficult to express and easy for others to overlook. What may remain unspoken externally can be deeply present internally, affecting emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. This journey is not one that most women anticipate, yet it becomes a defining and deeply personal part of their story. Sarah’s Laughter exists to offer a compassionate and confidential place where women can come as they are, without pressure or expectation. Here, you will find understanding, encouragement, and a community of women who recognize both the pain of loss and the longing for what has not yet come. You are not alone in this journey, and your story is seen and valued.

Understanding Grief and Loss

Grief connected to infertility and pregnancy loss is often complex and ongoing. It does not follow a predictable pattern or timeline, and it may return in waves through seasons, memories, and significant dates. Monthly cycles, medical appointments, and milestones such as due dates or holidays can renew the sense of loss in ways that others may not fully understand. Emotions may include sorrow, confusion, anger, guilt, or isolation, and each response reflects the reality of a meaningful loss. Scripture affirms the nearness of God in these moments, reminding us, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18, ESV). In Sarah’s Laughter, women are given the freedom to grieve honestly and fully, knowing that their pain is not dismissed and their emotions are not minimized. This is a place where loss is acknowledged and where healing in Christ can begin through truth, grace, and time.

A Community of Compassion and Care

Sarah’s Laughter is built upon the foundation of genuine care, mutual support, and Christ centered compassion. Women are invited to share openly, listen quietly, or simply be present according to their comfort level. There is no expectation to have the right words or to appear strong. Instead, this group offers a steady and caring environment where each participant is treated with dignity and respect. Relationships formed within this group provide encouragement during difficult seasons and remind each woman that she is not alone. The Word of God teaches that He is “the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4, ESV). As this truth is lived out within the group, women are able to both receive and extend comfort, creating a meaningful and supportive community rooted in faith.

Walking Forward with Hope

While the path through infertility and loss can feel uncertain, Sarah’s Laughter gently points each woman toward the enduring hope found in Jesus Christ. This group does not promise easy answers or quick resolutions, but it does offer a place to rest, to be understood, and to be strengthened through faith. God remains present in every season, even when circumstances are difficult to comprehend. His promises are steady, and His presence is constant. Scripture reminds us, “Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God” (Psalm 42:11, ESV). In Sarah’s Laughter, women are encouraged to take each step forward with this hope, trusting that the Lord is at work in their lives and that their story is not finished.
And Sarah said, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh over me.” – Genesis 21:6

"My infertility story begins much like all infertility stories. I pictured getting married, working for a few years, starting a family. Sound familiar, right? My infertility story is one of secondary infertility. As one year of trying and praying grew into 2, then 4, then 10. The treatments, the well-meaning questions, the doubts and fears began to weigh heavily on me. I felt alone, forgotten, broken, and passed-by. One day I learned about a ministry called Sarah’s Laughter. I found comfort and hope in learning from other Christian women who “got” infertility. God used this ministry to start bringing healing to my heart. God has given me a passion to come alongside other women who are in that rough and raw stage of this journey and to share with them the hope and comfort God has given me. Infertility can be lonely, isolating, and heartbreaking, but we don’t have to walk this path alone! God is not finished with our stories! He loves you, sees you, and cares about your infertility journey."

I was almost 25 when we got married and when we were ready to start a family 6 years ago – well, nothing happened. In the beginning of fertility treatments, I just knew God was going to answer our prayers and bring forth a child. So you can understand that with each failed cycle our hearts grew hopeless and I started to question if God even cared about us. I felt lonely and rejected. A good friend introduced me to Sarah’s Laughter. I would just sit and listen to their podcasts and cry (you know, the big ugly cry). Hearing from other women who “got” infertility really resonated in my heart. I started to find hope in their stories and find Christ’s never ending promises in mending the broken heart. If you’re anything like me, perhaps grief has enveloped you. Maybe you’re a little lost, wondering if you can remember life before infertility. What it was like to enjoy time with your husband. What it was like to have money in the bank, or before everyone but you started having baby showers. I pray God moves in women’s lives through this Sarah’s Laughter ministry to provide the same comfort it has provided for me.

I always knew I wanted to be a mother and like so many women I was hopeful and excited to start a family. I met and married my husband when I was 25. Two years later we started trying for a family. Unbeknownst to me, my greatest fear was getting ready to come true. What was once filled with hope and excitement had turned to loneliness and isolation. We endured several failed infertility treatments, two miscarriages and exhausted finances. I felt alone and was angry with God. I didn’t think I could go on without being a mother. I continue to navigate the road of infertility 14 years later but with a renewed sense of purpose. God has been patient with me and allowed me to see beyond my own pain so that I may be of comfort to others going through similar circumstances.
