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!

In this episode, Ashley vulnerably shares how spiritual warfare often intensifies in the wake of pregnancy and infant loss. Centered on Chapter 9 of Cradled in Hope, “The Good Fight: When You Encounter the Enemy’s Attacks,” she recounts her own season of darkness on bedrest with Bridget—and the moment she voiced aloud, “Nothing good will ever come from this.” In that valley of isolation, fear, and pain, Ashley came to understand how the enemy targets grieving moms with lies meant to destroy their hope and faith.

Through personal testimony and biblical truth, Ashley exposes the enemy’s tactics: sowing lies about God’s goodness, confusing us with counterfeit answers, and isolating us when we are already hurting. But she also shares how we can fight back—with Scripture, discernment, and the full armor of God. This episode is both a warning and an encouragement to moms walking through spiritual battle in grief.

In this episode, Ashley shared:

The types of lies the enemy speaks to grieving moms—and how to recognize his tactics
How isolation and pain make grieving moms especially vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks
A biblical understanding of how Satan schemes to steal, kill, and destroy in seasons of suffering
The truth that our fight is not against flesh and blood, and how the armor of God equips us to stand
A breakdown of the “rotten seeds” the enemy plants and the “spoiled fruit” they produce
A side-by-side comparison of God’s voice versus the enemy’s voice

Ashley reminds us that while the enemy is cunning, Jesus is our Shepherd—and when we listen closely for His voice, we will be led into truth, peace, and hope.
