Thank you for sending me a copy of your book; I’ve already started reading it! I believe it’s going to offer much needed hope and encouragement to grieving families. Also, I wanted to thank you for sharing the names of those moms that you believe might want to share their stories..
— Greg Buffkin
I love the title of the book...“Even now I know” because you really don't know how you'll feel in a situation or what you'll do! I'm happy you took the experience and started something great. Miles will forever live on because of you.
— Lynn
Jennifer I watched you everyday in the morning and witnessed your experience as a mother. I have many friends that have experienced similar hardships and I am blown away by you & your families courage, strength & love. Thank you for sharing, for being a light.

I want to extend my gratitude to Jennifer Bullock & Hattie Hawks, for the profoundly inspirational presentation that was delivered at the Westerville Area Chamber's Women in Business Luncheon....your experiences shared with us not only provided invaluable insights but also resonated deeply with everyone in attendance. Your openness in sharing the challenges you've overcome with grace and resilience was truly inspiring. It was an honor to gain insight into your journey, which serves as a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
— Michelle Barth
Some people are put on this earth to lift up and inspire others, turning their tremendous pain and struggle into strength and compassion to help the world. ....I learned so much about this profound kind of loss and the awareness of the resources and understanding that could make it a little more bearable.

So thankful for all of you.

Welcome to Miles’ Mission
Our mission is to enhance awareness, provide resources, and support families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss - because every life matters.
"He has sent us to tell those who mourn that the time of God's favor to them has come, and the day of His wrath to their enemies. To all who mourn in Israel He will give: beauty for ashes; joy instead of mourning; praise instead of heaviness. For God has planted them like strong and graceful oaks for His own glory."
Whether it's ensuring every family has access to Cuddle Cot, offering bereavement bears, angels, books, and additional resources, our goal is to support families not just during their hospital stay but also as they transition home. We believe in giving families the time and space to heal at their own pace, acknowledging the significance of continuous encouragement and support throughout their journey.
No one organization can do it alone. Recognizing that addressing pregnancy and infant loss is a collective effort, we actively seek like-minded organizations to join forces and are blessed to have our current supporters and partners. Whether through financial backing or collaborative efforts in awareness and aftercare, we aim to make a meaningful impact together. We invite organizations to be part of our extended family, collectively working towards a brighter future for families navigating loss.
Recognizing The Families Who Have Lost, Who Are Fighting Everyday, And Who Are Overcoming.
The P.A.I.L. Remembrance & Awareness Walk will be hosted by Alive In My Heart, Miles’ Mission, Columbus Public Health, and Nationwide Children’s Hospital at Genoa Park in Columbus on Saturday morning, October 12, 2024. The event will bring awareness and support around the experience of Pregnancy and Infant Loss (''P.A.I.L.'') and honor and remember all of the babies we miss, babies who are loved beyond measure.
Miles’ Mission and the Little Blue Duck
Miles Owen went to Heaven before he was born. So, he never got to experience the world the way we do. But one day, his big sister Harper told their mommy. “Miles loves ducks!” Miles’ mommy believes in her heart, that ducks are his way of letting his family know that even though Miles isn’t with them physically on earth, his spirit is. And every time they see a duck, they remember that he is safe and happy in Heaven, waiting for the day they can all be together.
So, when you see Miles’ Mission at events, you will see a little blue duck for children. The blue is because Miles is a boy and with the little blue duck, we draw the attention of families to our mission.
Please keep helping us to fulfill our mission by supporting our efforts to enhance awareness, provide resources, and support families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss – because every life matters!
Even Now I Know: A Journey From Grief to Gratitude
Are you feeling lost and alone in grief? A new book shares a family of faith's journey as they navigate through a myriad of emotions, challenges, heartache, and frustration.
In Even Now I Know, Dr. Michael Bullock shares his creative perspective on the conversations surrounding the biblical story of Mary, Martha, Lazarus, and Jesus.
Suffering loss does not mean you have to be lost. Although painful, grief and loss can also propel us to find a deeper purpose in life. Let’s transition into gratitude together.
