About Us

Hi everyone,

My name is Melissa, I was born in 1967. I was married in 2001 and I have 3 living children.  I have had a total of 7 miscarriages, one of which was the twin to my second child.  My last pregnancy ended with the birth of my son born silently sleeping, a stillbirth.  May of 2007 I went to the midwife to find out that my son had stopped breathing two days prior.  He was 18 weeks 3 days.  I waited for 7 weeks 3 days for God to bring forth my son on his appointed birth day.  I carried him all that time even though he was no longer alive.  25 weeks to the day was the day he was born all brought about by God’s timing and God’s blessings. I came to know Christ when I was 35 and was baptized on my 36th birthday.  I am a born again Christian.

Comfort In Heaven was a vision God gave me when going through the loss of my son in June of 2007.

In my searching to find a grief support forum, I was unable to find one that was Christian based and held up the Word of the Bible.  As God revealed more of the vision, I started thinking of names and had come up with several.  God had brought me such comfort and peace in my journey and I wanted to share that comfort with others.  While talking one day with a friend, we both shared how much we appreciated the scripture 2 Corinthians 1:3 Praise Be to the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.  Instantly the name came to mind and warmed my heart like nothing else had.

I wanted to create a place where women could come and freely share their Christian faith while going through their loss.  I wanted to create a place where women who were struggling with their faith during this time could be encouraged and strengthened by other women of faith.  I wanted to create a place for those women who might not know Christ, see the examples of what it is to follow Christ and see that there is an option to making it through this season of life when it seems like their is no one left out there to talk to or listen….there is always Jesus Christ.

As the owner of this group, I have set up the best measures of privacy and safety within our home here on the Internet, as such:

• Members email addresses are kept private
• The board is private, no topics are visible when doing a search on the Internet
• There is a membership application and approval process

• Members are no allowed to share information outside of Comfort In Heaven without permission.

Through the doors of this sanctuary we have here, will come many women, all in different phases of grief, all in different phases in their walk with Christ and all different ages.  The key to making this a sanctuary, a haven of rest, is to remember Galatians 6:2 to bear one another’s burdens, to put others before yourself, to accept where each and every person is at and not try to change them through our own perceptions.  Leave the changing and convictions up to God.

Our goal is to have God’s word be the foundation of all encouragement, support and advice.  My desire is that we would all grow closer to Our Lord Jesus Christ and to believe Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  There are blessings to be had during this season of life, let us search for them and embrace them together.
