Caring for weary and grieving hearts, guiding them from heavy grief toward quiet hope
Our Mission
Ava's Army walks alongside grieving Mamas to remind them they are not alone, and honors nurses who carried them through loss.
”For in this hope we were saved. But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
Romans 8:24-25
We recognize the heavy emotional weight you shoulder during every shift while caring for your patients. Our commitment is to show you that you are seen, cared for, and so deeply appreciated as you go from room to room, caring for new Mamas with joy, to new Mamas with sadness and loss, and back again. Ava's Army is cheering you on through every challenge, offering you the genuine care and appreciation you deserve.
Sitting Together: Audio Stories
Listen to gentle audio recordings from loss Mamas, created to sit with Mamas in their grief and remind them that they’re not alone. These audios also support nurses, encouraging them as they continue to tenderly care for families walking through loss.
For Our Nurses
Finding Gentle Hope in the Ache
In the raw, disorienting fog of early loss, everything feels undone. We know the scary, paralyzing ache that leaves you with nothing but confusion and questions. We are here to sit with you in that messy, heavy place where hope feels far away. Even when your heart is too loud or too broken to feel it, we believe there is a Savior quietly holding you in the dark. You are not alone. You matter. Your baby matters. You are so loved.
Walking Together, Never Alone
Honoring precious lives while recognizing deep sorrow and offering tender support for the road ahead
Walking Alongside The Brokenhearted Mama
No one should walk this road alone. With a "Still a Mom" keepsake, curated “Walking With You” tote bags, and personalized encouragement on significant dates, we are here to walk beside Mamas, to honor their motherhood, and to remind each one that they and their baby are never forgotten.
Noticing The Quiet Strength - Care For Our Nurses
For every tote sent to a grieving Mama, a “We See You” tote bag is delivered to a nursing unit. Filled with nourishment for the body as well as the soul, a place to remember, as well as appreciation items.
