In this episode of Hope Stories, Sr. Josephine Garrett, CSFN, sits down with Kelly Breaux, co-founder of Red Bird Ministries, to share her powerful story of loss, faith, and healing. Kelly and her husband, Ryan, endured the unimaginable pain of losing two of their three children, an experience that left her reeling in grief, angry at God, and distant from the Church. In her honesty, Kelly reveals how being in a state of mortal sin gave the enemy leverage in her life and marriage, deepening her suffering. Yet, through the grace of a Cursillo retreat, she encountered Christ anew, discovering that He had never abandoned her, even in her darkest moments. Out of this journey was born Red Bird Ministries, a Catholic apostolate accompanying grieving parents with holistic care: faith, therapy, peer support, and sacramental life. In this conversation, Kelly’s tears, honesty, and hard-won wisdom testify to the hope that even in the most crushing grief, God is present and healing is possible.
