What It Looks Like to Grieve and Have Hope

Grief has remained consistent in my life over the last few years. In 2021, my husband and I miscarried our first baby, Haven; in 2022, we miscarried our second baby, Evie. In the time since, I’ve been figuring out how to look at grief as a Christian.

Despite being a huge Marvel fan, I was prepared to give WandaVision a miss when the first few episodes started airing on Disney+.
