Hey there!
Hi, We are Essie’s Gift Ministries, Inc. We send bereavement boxes all over the USA and serve families in West Georgia who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss.

How do we know when to send a package?
We get asked this a lot so I thought I would create a post that would let people know. For the first three and a half to four years of Essie’s Gift, we did not get many requests. We averaged about 100 per year. Most of those requests came from people who knew us or were friends with…
You Are Not Alone
by Regina Erlenbusch I remember my check-up appointment after I had to have my DNC procedure. I dreaded walking into that office. I don’t really know why I felt some of the emotions I felt. I was so sad. But also, I didn’t want anyone to see me. Like I wanted so badly to be…
Forever Changed
By Regina Erlenbusch I am definitely not a writer by any stretch of the word, and to be honest I have put this off as long as I could. I do speak about my loss frequently but there is something very intimate about writing my story out. I really don’t like facing emotions. I pack…
Updates and Info

My story….
There is something very special about traveling down a new road; one that you didn’t even know existed. It’s exciting to see new places and things and to learn about new ways to get to an expected end. I enjoy riding down those roads that take me to new places, especially when there is a…

About Us
In 2018, after attending a training that we thought would help us be able to talk with hurting mamas who had experienced miscarriage, we felt impressed to start a ministry to help families who were dealing with the loss of a baby. Since then, we have been sending out bereavement boxes and learning as much as we can to try to be a blessing to families who are hurting. We have both had Doula training and are available to serve at births when a family knows that their baby has a life-limiting diagnosis.
Let’s hang out
