While navigating the grief of two pregnancy losses, Kelley received the prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 18 for her daughter Malia. She shares how her experience gave her a unique empathy and perspective to offer support to others, and an unbreakable bond with her family who also walked this journey with her. We are so glad that Mama Bear Care be a part of Kelley's journey and provide a safe and non-judgemental space for Kelley (and moms like her) who are experiencing a prenatal diagnosis and grief. Thank you Kelley for sharing your precious daughter with us and your story!

Today we honor caregivers, including home health and hospice professionals who walk tenderly with families during some of life’s most sacred and difficult moments.

Your compassion, patience, and presence matter deeply—to babies, to parents, and to the memories that last a lifetime.

Thank you for the care you provide and the dignity you help preserve.

While we recognize those who make caregiving a career, let us also remember our mama bears who are medical mama bears raising their babies and children with a prenatal diagnosis. You are the full time caregiver! We know the midnight hours you've spent in care, and the tireless efforts you pour out. We celebrate you today and know that what is unseen is eternal.

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” - John 15:4-5 ESV

My word for the year is “abide,” not because having a word picked out provides some mystical aid, but because having a word helps me focus. Isn’t easy to get out of focus so quickly? For me, I get out of focus on Christ and his abundant vine. I play a massive game of pretend, thinking that somehow I can muscle through and make it all work on my own.

Apart from Him, I can do nothing.

Nothing is a very resounding word . . . vacant . . . echoing. In my mind, I am getting things done and pushing through, but God defines it as nothing. My own efforts fall short. Immensely short. I can’t do it on my own. I can do nothing on my own.

Realizing this, and recognizing God’s sufficient power where rest and renewal is found, I choose to abide. I choose to rest in the vine and bear the fruit God has for me. God has something for me in the storm, in the chaos. God has fruit for me to bear for others in this storm.

If you have been struggling and just making it through, what would it look like to abide instead. What would it look like if you rested in Christ and trusted Him to provide in your nothing?

Did you know that Mama Bear Care celebrates something big in February? If you've been following our account for a while, you probably have a guess.

Mama Bear Care, formally known as Verity's Village, serves mama bears who have received a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis. This ministry grew out of one mama bear's story when she was given a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 18 for her daughter just over 9 years ago now. Our founder, Beverly, knew from experience that mama bears needed support for this journey, and so Mama Bear Care was formed to bring about encouragement, community, support, and education for this journey.

Do you know what is coming up on February 28th? 🎂

Verity, the inspiration for Mama Bear Care, wants to wish all of her fans a very happy Valentine's Day! And her mama just wants to point out some amazing things from these otherwise basic looking photos:

1. Look at her sitting by herself on the floor! There was a time we didn't know if she would ever be able to do this. Now she does it all the time!

2. She picked up the pink heart pop-it, a gift from her night nurse, in a hand that used to be so tightly clenched we didn't know if she would ever be able to use it. 

3. She maintained her grip to play with it, and then switched hands.

4. She sat contentedly playing and entertaining herself for quite some time!

These may be simple things, but they are really huge blessings when we stop to think about them. What a gift Verity is to us and so many others!

Today we recognize Congenital Heart Defect Awareness.

Many babies with life-limiting prenatal diagnoses also face complex heart conditions. These diagnoses can feel overwhelming—but they do not diminish a baby’s value or the love surrounding them.

At Mama Bear Care, we stand with families navigating these realities, offering support rooted in compassion, truth, and hope.

This week is Feeding Tube Awareness Week.

For some of the mama bears we serve, feeding tubes are part of loving their baby well—providing nourishment, comfort, and stability when feeding looks different than expected.

Feeding tubes do not define a baby’s worth or a parent’s love. They are simply one of the many ways families adapt and care deeply for their children. Feeding options are a blessing for babies with a diagnosis!

For many babies with a genetic or complex medical diagnosis, feeding tubes are part of how they receive nourishment and care.

While feeding tubes can feel overwhelming for new parents at first, feeding tubes are simply tools—tools that support life, growth, and comfort for babies whose bodies need extra help. Our Mama Bear Care parents are so thankful for feeding tubes!

We know that education helps replace fear, helping mama bears feel more confident as they care for their babies.

What advice would you give other moms who are just starting out their journey with feeding tubes for their baby?

As Valentine’s Day approaches, we’re reminded that love isn’t only found in cards or flowers—it’s found in sacrifice, presence, and fierce devotion.

Mama bears love fiercely. They love through uncertainty, through loss, and through moments of profound beauty.

This kind of love is powerful. And it matters.
