Red Bird Ministries Podcast

Red Bird Ministries is a Catholic, pro-life and pro-family grief support ministry that focuses on bereaved families who have experienced child loss of any age: miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, child loss, adolescent, and even the loss of an adult child. Red Bird helps parents to understand grief, how to navigate through it, and how to take practical tips and tools to begin the healing process. No matter the stage of grief you are in, Red Bird Ministries will work with families to heal through the beautiful gift of Our Mother Church. Red Bird stands out by servicing and support families by helping the couple to understand what grief does to the family. By supporting both the father and the mother together, we help couples learn how to grieve together and to support each other. Your spouse is the only one in this moment who truly understands what you are going through, your family dynamics, and the memory of your child. Journeying with your spouse will bear fruit toward true healing. Our ministry is ran by couples, for couples. All founders and families have experienced child loss and understand the magnitude of a bereaved parent's suffering. No matter how soon or how long ago your loss has occurred, we have families that want to love you through your loss. Contact us today for more information on what our ministry is doing to support families in dire need.

    Heidi Indahl

    Today we have Heidi Indahl on our "Grieving Together Show" She is such a bright light into a world of pregnancy and infant loss. It has been such a blessing getting to know Heidi and allowing this beautiful conversation to happen. I know you will enjoy the message of today's show. Below is the link to her book and the write up: https://www.amazon.com/Blessed-Fruit-Thy-Womb-Reflections/dp/1944008381 Mothers who travel the hard road of miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss often feel profoundly alone; few people who haven’t experienced it truly understand its heart-wrenching nature. The good news, however, is that there is someone else who has a crystal-clear understanding of what it means to lose a child, someone who knew of the agony that her son would endure long before his death: the Blessed Mother. Mary understands pregnancy and infant loss, and wants to offer us comfort and encouragement. The mysteries of the rosary are her perfect tools for doing so. Mary’s journey closely reflects the journey of women experiencing pregnancy and infant loss, one that travels through joy, sorrow, and, eventually, glory. Blessed Is the Fruit of Thy Womb: Rosary Reflections on Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss invites grieving mothers to let the Blessed Mother accompany them on their journey of grief and healing. Mary not only understands their loss, but wishes to bring mothers to healing through the saving work of her son. For each mystery of the rosary, author Heidi Indahl compassionately shares her own experiences of miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss, offering insights about how those losses are connected to the experience of Jesus and Mary as revealed by the mysteries of the rosary. A Scripture quote, questions to ponder, and prayer intentions help readers meditate on each mystery. Readers can record their thoughts, prayers, or even a note to their little one in the provided writing space, making Blessed Is the Fruit of Thy Womb a journal for healing, as well.

  2. Jen Angelle - Hugs From Heaven

    Jen Angelle - Hugs From Heaven

    Today we are featuring Hugs from Heaven, and their special owner Jen Angelle as they travel the world sharing Jesus and Mary. Jen will also share her grief of losing her brother, and then her father. Jen is a dear friend of mine, and a light to the world. Here is a little more about how Hugs from Heaven came to be. Hugs from Heaven - a doll company for believers, was founded by a south Louisiana Catholic wife and mom of four, Julie Marceaux Romero. She was inspired by her own real-life experience when her brother Chad went through life-threatening transplant surgeries at Mercy Medical Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana. During the operations, Julie prayed in the chapel, wishing for the Lord’s physical presence to hold and comfort her. In this moment, she received a clear vision from Jesus to create a “hug from heaven” - a soft pillow doll in His image. In 2017, Julie sold the Hugs From Heaven brand to a fellow south Louisiana native, customer and friend, Jennifer Angelle. Now, Jennifer and her family are taking these beloved characters beyond Louisiana, expanding across the country and sharing Hugs around the world. “Sharing HUGS is our answer to Saint Pope John Paul II’s call for New Evangelization. With each sale, we give back a portion of our income to those in need like the Sisters of Life in New York City, Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù (Baby Jesus Children’s Hospital) Rome, Italy, Don Bosco Center for Youth, St. Martinville, LA and others that our family encounter who may need a HUG. We believe that when you get a hug, you should hug back! And we love the fact that each plush replica of Jesus Christ and Mother Mary have a heart monogrammed on their chest to serve as a reminder of GOD’S COMFORT, GOD’S PRESENCE, GOD’S MERCY but most of all GOD’S LOVE! Pray with us “Jesus, I trust in you!” and share a hug today! Blessings + Love + Hugs, Jenn

    Grieving Sisters

    Frachelle Jaeger is a co-founder of the Bellator Society, but mostly, she’s a spectacularly flawed follower of Jesus Christ. She and her husband have four sons and go back and forth about whether God gave them all boys because they are good at raising them or because He knows they need a lot of practice. She had a degree in Theater and after a short -lived career upon the wicked stage, she maintains her craft by acting like she is keeping her head above water to do stuff on the internet. Brie Head is a wife and stay at home mom to 4 beautiful children. In a previous life, she was a NICU nurse. “It was not until the death of my 30 year old brother that I felt a true chasm in my own faith.” - Brie Head You can find Brie and Fran on Bellator Society, sharing thier beautiful hearts all while seeking the true, the good, and the beautiful. Fran and fellow co-founder Tracy have their very own podcast that seeks to reveal the trancendentals of the Catholic Church. Click here to subscribe to their podcast. Bellator Colloquium Here are a few of my favorite sayings from Brie and Fran from today's podcast. Anytime you a crisis, it's not a crisis of your faith, it's an opportunity to deepen your faith. God is asking you to go deeper. - Brie It was only through losing one of those friends, one of my siblings, that I was able to appreciate my other friends, the other siblings that God gave me. - Fran If you have enjoyed the podcast today, please share it with someone you know and if you feel called to help support our mission, please donate here [Red Bird Minsitries.](www.redbird.love/donatenow)
