Team Durrill – Hope in the Healing 

The road to parenthood was far from what we imagined, but through it all, God never left us. He has been faithful to us, and He will be faithful to you.

Jeremy and I met on a blind date and married just five months later, confident that God had brought us together. From the beginning, we dreamed of starting a family. Within six months, we experienced three devastating miscarriages. During that season, I clung to Proverbs 3:5-6:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

When we began IVF, hope stirred again. Out of 21 embryos, only five survived to day five. Our first transfer ended in heartbreak as we lost both embryos. I wrestled with God, asking “Why?” Yet, in my pain, He reminded me that His plans are always for my good and His glory.

Our second transfer brought unexpected joy. Of the three remaining embryos, two survived, and we soon learned we were expecting twins! But at eight weeks, I began bleeding and discovered we had lost a third baby when one of the embryos split. Relief and sorrow intertwined, but God’s grace sustained us. After a very difficult pregnancy that left me hospitalized for six months, I also grew deeply aware of the patient experience—a perspective that continues to shape my calling as a Labor & Delivery nurse.

At 38 weeks, we welcomed our sons Colton and Jonah, holding fast to the promise that God was not done with our story. Two years later, He blessed us again with our miracle, Jase Daniel. Today, our family of three boys is complete. And in heaven, we look forward to meeting our 18 sons and 6 daughters—we know there’s some pink in there! 

Walking With Others in Hope

Out of our own story, God has given me the heart to walk with others. I continue to serve as a Labor & Delivery and NICU nurse, supporting families through both life and loss in real time.
For nearly a decade, I’ve also volunteered with Lullaby of Hope, sending comfort boxes to grieving families and later celebrating God’s faithfulness when delivering boxes to the same families welcoming rainbow babies. 

I also serve on the board of Hope in the Healing, a ministry that meets monthly to encourage and support moms who have experienced miscarriage or stillbirth. Together, we create safe spaces to share, grieve, and cling to the hope only Christ provides.

This October 15, we will host a Wave of Light Ceremony, remembering the little ones gone too soon and reminding families that they are never alone.

Through it all, we continue to trust that God’s plans are good, His promises are true, and His faithfulness endures forever.

I’m walking to remember all 24 of our babies and to stand with families who know this kind of pain. If you’re able, please give in their honor.

Your gift helps provide grief support, partnership with Lullaby of Hope for intentional care packages, towards cuddle cots for surrounding hospitals so families are able to hold their baby, and Christ-centered hope for parents after pregnancy or infant loss.

Thank you for remembering with me. Your kindness helps families feel loved, seen, and not alone.

God bless you.
