I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse. How can I help?

I talk about faith and patience during uncertain times by being really honest about my own hard seasons—job loss, financial stress, depression, and feeling like God went quiet. I name those feelings (fear, doubt, loneliness) so people don’t feel like they’re the only ones spiraling.

Then I offer small, realistic anchors instead of “just have more faith”:

  1. Hope in tiny doses – even “hoping for hope” when you can’t feel anything else
  2. Looking for “fruits” (what good is still coming from staying in the gospel or your routines)
  3. Focusing on foundations (God loves you; everything else can go on the shelf for later)
  4. Letting “hanging on” be enough for a while
  5. Practical structure: serving others, small daily routines, and giving stress less airtime than faith

I also remind women that not fitting the “perfect church woman” mold is normal—and invite them to metaphorically “come sit by me,” so they feel seen instead of judged.

Is there a particular kind of uncertainty you’re thinking about—faith, finances, parenting, or something else?
