- Why Is Forgiveness So Hard After Child Loss? Freedom From the Weight
Somewhere in your grief, there is a name. A name that still makes your chest tighten the moment you hear it. Maybe it belongs to someone who caused what happened. Maybe it's someone who never showed up. And maybe... the hardest name to sit with is your own.
In this episode, Teresa names the weight you carry when forgiveness feels impossible β and shares the story of the bitterness she carried for three years after Andrew went to heaven, and how it finally lifted.
In this episode, you'll discover...
- Why the thoughts that begin with "I should have..." are built on a standard no mother could meet
- The three things forgiveness never asks of you
- What to do when the apology you deserved never comes
- The kind of forgiveness many parents don't even recognize β and the door that opens when you name it
Forgiveness is an invitation... and a process. God is not rushing you. But you don't have to carry this weight alone.
β¨ Calming the Chaos is Teresa's self-paced course for grieving moms β walking you through the weight step by step, at your pace. π Join Calming the Chaos here

Does Anyone Still Remember? Grief When the World Moves On
It's been months now. Maybe longer.
And somewhere along the way, the calls slowed. The check-ins stopped. Everyone went back to their normal β while you were left in a world that will never be normal again.
This episode is for the mother who feels forgotten. Who has stopped saying her child's name out loud because no one else does anymore. Who carries the missing, mostly alone now.
There's one verse that speaks straight into that loneliness β and it says the thing you've needed someone to say: you have not been forgotten.
In this episode, you'll discover...
π Why the loneliest part of grief often comes later β not in the early days
π The question hiding underneath "has everyone forgotten?" β and why it changes everything
π What God did with your name that He cannot undo
π The one thing to hold onto this weekend when it feels like the world walked on
You have not been left behind. The One who matters most has not moved on, and has not forgotten your name or your child's. He holds you where He cannot help but see you.
Come and let this one verse remind you that you are still remembered.
If carrying your grief alone is where you are right now, Calming the Chaos walks gently with you through the loneliness, fear, and doubt that come after child loss, the identity shifts that seem to never end and slow process of learning to live againβ one step at a time.

Why Is Year Two Harder? Surviving Child Loss Grief
Everyone told you the first year would be the hardest. So why does the second year hurt the way it does? You made it through all the firsts. You survived the days you don't fully remember. And somehow, right when the world decided you should be doing better, the ache is still here β and some days it's heavier than it was.
There are reasons the second year lands the way it does, and in this episode Teresa walks through them gently, one at a time β what's really happening in your heart and in your body, and why none of it means you're grieving wrong.
In this episode, you'll discoverβ¦
π What's actually happening when the second year hits harder than the first β and why it isn't your grief getting worse
π The way your body starts asking for something different in year two β and what it's really telling you
π The guilt that whispers when you laugh again β and the truth that frees a grieving mother from choosing between remembering and living
π What every grieving mother prays for β I want this pain to go away β and what to ask for instead that opens the door to hope
God is not asking you to be stronger than you are β He is inviting you to come to Him exactly as you are today, overwhelmed heart and all. He is the towering rock of safety. Psalms 61:2
Calming the Chaos is where this work happens. It's a self-paced, faith-based grief course that helps you get underneath what you suppressed in that first year and finally process it β then walks you through the shift in how you see yourself after child loss, and the work of learning to live again, alongside your grief.

Why Won't My Mind Stop Racing? Peace After Child Loss
It's the middle of the night again, and your mind won't stop.
One thought hands off to the next before you can catch your breath. The what-ifs. The replays. The worry about everyone still here.
You're exhausted. But your mind won't let you rest.
This episode is for the mother whose thoughts race in circles she can't shut off β the one who can hold it together all day, until the house goes quiet.
There's one verse that speaks straight into the spinning. Not a scolding. An invitation β and a promise about who stands guard over your mind when you can't quiet it yourself.
In this episode, you'll discover...
Why your mind won't stop racing after child loss β and what it's really trying to do
The invitation hidden inside a verse you've probably read a hundred times
What God promises in return β and what He doesn't
The one thing to do with the very next thought that starts to spin.
The God of peace is not far from your racing thoughts. He's standing guard at the gate of your mind tonight β patient, unhurried, unafraid of a single fear you bring Him.
Come and let this one verse steady you right where you are.
If an anxious, racing mind is where you're living right now, Calming the Chaos walks gently through the fear, worry, and doubt that come after child loss β one steadying step at a time.

Is This Normal? Surviving the First Year of Child Loss
You keep asking yourself if what you're feeling is even normal. And on the days the tears won't come at all β the numb, flat days β the question gets louder. Is something wrong with me? Am I losing my mind?
You're not. And you are not doing this wrong.
This one is for the mom living through the first year after her child went to heaven β the weeks that blur, the months that drag, the whole long stretch of it. Teresa sits down beside you and gently names what this first year actually does to a grieving mother: in your mind, in your body, in your days.
In this episode, you'll discover...
- The truth about the numb, tearless days β and why they are never a measure of how much you love your child
- That deep longing to be with your child again β and why it's not the warning sign someone made you feel it was
- What's actually happening inside your body when the fog rolls in, sleep turns against you, and the aches show up with no reason a doctor can find
- Why crossing the one-year mark doesn't hand you the relief you've been bracing for β and the one thing that carries you further than a finish line ever could
You don't have to see the whole road ahead. You were never meant to. God asks for the next step, in the light He gives you for today.

Will I Ever Smile Again? Life After Child Loss
Will I ever smile again? Not the one you put on so people stop worrying. Not the one you wear at the store so nobody asks. The real one β the kind that reaches your eyes.
Some of you can't remember the last time it happened. And underneath that question is one you can barely say: if you ever do smile again, are you leaving your child behind?
This is our 300th episode β a milestone we reached together β and there is no question more fitting to sit with than this one. Because the answer isn't what most people hand a grieving mother. It's deeper and far more honest than "hang in there."
In this episode, you'll discover:
π The quiet fear that hides behind a grieving mom's tears
π What the original Hebrew reveals about the joy you're certain is gone for good
π Why your tears now and your joy later rise from the very same place
π What a real smile someday will mean for you and your child β and what it won't
There is no schedule for this. Your night may be longer than anyone warns you β and that does not mean you're failing. The morning is still coming, even when you can't see . And when it breaks, you will remember your child with more love than pain.

Haven't I already paid enough?
If you're a grieving mom or dad, you know that question. You understand the cost of walking this earth without your child beside you β a cost most people around you will never truly understand. And in the exhaustion of your grief, that question can rise up quietly: how much is one heart supposed to hold?
This week, Teresa sits with you right there. She takes you back to a Sunday morning in worship, to a line in a song she couldn't bring herself to sing, and to a book that came into her life early in her grief β when she was slipping into despair β one whose pages met her in the exact place you may be standing today.
This episode references Jesus Freaks: Stories of Those Who Stood for Jesus by dc Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs (Bethany House Publishers).
In this episode, you'll discover:
π The lyric that stopped Teresa cold in the middle of worship β and the fear it stirs in almost every grieving mom
π The story of a young man who stood in the bitter cold and would not stay silent about God β and what he understood about God's presence that I so desperately needed
π The belief that faith would spare us the deepest cost β and the question that rises up when it doesn't
π The one promise, true from Genesis to Revelation, for the mom who cannot feel God anywhere right now
If you've been standing in the cold of your grief, wondering if He's still there β hold on. There is a promise waiting for you here that does not depend on what you can feel.
If today's episode met something in you, Calming the Chaos was written for exactly this β the guilt that whispers when you're already exhausted, the fear of what this road might ask of you, and the slow relearning of how to live again when everything has shifted. It was written to walk beside you.

I'm So Tired and Nothing Helps: Why Child Loss Exhausts You You've slept β and woke up just as exhausted. You've pushed through, rested when you could, done everything they told you to do. And you're still tired all the way down to your bones.
This is the exhaustion no one warns you about after child loss. It doesn't come from your body, so sleep never touches it. It settles into your chest and follows you from room to room β and most people in your life have no idea it's even there.
This Saturday, we name why this tired is so heavy β and turn to the words of Jesus that meet a weary, grieving mother exactly where she is. Not with a command to be strong. With something far gentler.
In this episode, you'll discover:
π Why grief exhaustion is different from any tired you've known before β and why rest doesn't fix it
π The one thing Jesus asks of a weary mother that isn't a command at all
π The exact road map Teresa followed to get from devastated to where she is today
π What "my burden is light" really means when you're the one carrying the unbearable
You don't have to figure it all out. You don't have to be strong. And you were never meant to carry this alone.

There's a particular kind of grief that comes with a particular kind of silence. It's the pause after someone asks how your child died β the moment you hesitate, or don't answer at all, because you can feel the way the room shifts.
If you've ever carried the fear that someone is quietly judging your child, or judging you, because of the way they left this earth β this episode is for you. Today we say some things out loud that need to be said, and we root them in the truth of God's word.
In this episode, you'll discover:
π What we get wrong when we talk about physical illness and mental illness
π What was really happening on the inside that the world, looking from the outside, could never see
π The truth about what God sees versus what the world sees
π What God knew about your child before they took a single breath
No one else gets the final word on your child. God does. And what He says changes everything.

My Child Died and the Missing Never Stops: One Truth To Ease The Pain My child died β and the missing never stops. Nobody warns you about that kind of missing. It doesn't soften with a good night's sleep, and it doesn't wait for a good time. It rises up in the cereal aisle, in the quiet of the house, in the middle of the night β and some days "I miss my child so much" is the only sentence you've got.
This Saturday, we sit in that missing together β and then turn to one verse that has held grieving mothers through the lowest places they've ever known. It's the same verse a remarkable woman built her whole life around, long before Teresa ever understood what it would one day mean to her.
In this episode, you'll discover:
π The one word in Deuteronomy 33:27 that changes everything about how you see God
π What Elisabeth Elliot β who lost everything β knew about surviving when everything was taken from her
π The part of this verse Teresa found confusing for years, until God showed her what it really means for a grieving mom
π Why the enemy never gets the last word
The missing is real, and it is not going anywhere this side of heaven. But it is not the end of your story. You are loved with an everlasting love β and underneath are the everlasting arms.

You've asked it a thousand times: "Why did this happen? Why my child? Why.

This episode is for the mom who is exhausted from carrying everyone else's explanations. There is something here that the world's wisdom could never give you β and it may not be what you think it is.
In this episode, you'll discover...
π Why the world's wisdom will never give you the answer your heart longs for
π The part of your grief that counseling alone was never meant to reach
π What God did for thirty-seven chapters before He ever said a single word

There's a fear that doesn't show up until after your child goes to heaven. It's not the grief everyone warned you about. It's the quiet dread that something is going to happen to someone else you love β and it has a way of finding you at 2 a.m.
If you've been waking in a panic, reaching for your phone just to make sure everyone is okay, this Saturday episode is for you. You're not doing grief wrong. You're carrying one of the heaviest, most normal things a grieving mom carries.
In this episode, you'll discover...
π The recurring dream that gripped Teresa's heart in the early days β and what it taught her about fear after child loss
π Why "don't be afraid" was never the command you thought it was
π What actually loosens fear's grip over time β and what doesn't
You don't have to conquer the fear tonight. You only have to remember Who is with you in it.
If your heart is ready to wrap fear, guilt, and doubt in truth, Calming the Chaos is where we do that deeper work together, at your own pace.

If you are a grieving mom asking, "Does the pain of child loss ever go away?", this episode is for you. You've been doing everything you can just to get through the day. And when the weight becomes too much to carry, you reach for something β anything β to take the edge off. But the comfort never seems to last. And the ache always finds its way back.
In this episode, Teresa sits with you in that place. Through the picture of a garden being turned over, she opens up what grief is really doing in you β even on the days when it feels like absolutely nothing is growing. There's a reason the surface comfort isn't reaching the ache. And there's something far deeper that God is doing underneath the ground.
In this episode, you'll discover...
- Why the comfort you keep reaching for never quite reaches the ache
- What grief is actually doing beneath the surface of your life β even when you can't see it
- The one thing every mighty oak must have to grow deep roots β and why it's the hardest part of grief.
- Why you can't see your own growth right now β and what that does not mean
Scripture referenced in this episode: Isaiah 61:3 (NLT) Psalm 126:5-6 (NLT)
Wherever you find yourself today, you are not without support. The tears you are crying are seen by your heavenly Father, and what is planted in tears will one day reap a harvest. He is near. And He has never once left you alone.
If you're ready to stop reaching for the surface and begin grieving God's way, Calming the Chaos is here to walk through it with you β at your own pace, all summer long.

You've been praying the same prayer for so long now. Please help me, Lord. Take this pain away. And this morning, nothing about your life looks any different than it did last week β or the week before that.
If you've started to wonder whether there's any hope left in the waiting β whether God is even still in your story β this episode was made for you.
Today we go to the book of Lamentations, written from the middle of real, unresolved loss, to uncover what you're truly waiting for when you wait on God. Because what you're waiting for may be far closer than you think.
In this episode, you'll discover...
β¨ Why the waiting itself may be the very place God is doing His deepest work in you
β¨ The hidden meaning behind a single word that reframes the entire idea of "waiting quietly"
β¨ What I screamed at God in my own backyard one fall afternoon β and the answer that met me there
β¨ How relief can begin before a single circumstance around you ever changes
If your mind has been too loud to hear Him, there's a place to go underneath the guilt, fear, and doubt β to understand it, release it, and learn to depend on Him again. It's called Calming the Chaos.
π Calming the Chaos
You are not waiting alone in the dark. He heard you the very first moment you prayed β and He has not forgotten you.
The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor
Your mind will not stop. The replay. The what-ifs. The guilt that says it was somehow your fault, the fear of what might happen next, the doubt that slips in when you least expect it. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you have started to wonder if grief has done something to your mind that you will never get back.
In this episode, Teresa opens up about her own experience with the chaos β the guilt, the fear, and the doubt that nearly convinced her she was losing herself. And she shares the one truth that changed everything about how she walks through child loss. If your own thoughts have become the hardest place you have to live, this conversation will help you understand why β and show you that what feels permanent is not.
In this episode, you'll discover...
- Why your thoughts hold this much power over you β and what is really happening when guilt, fear, and doubt take over
- What keeps you from solid ground β even on the days your faith feels strong
- Why these thoughts refuse to loosen their grip β and what finally begins to change that
- The one small, quiet step that holds far more power than you would ever expect
You are not losing your mind. You are a grieving mother carrying what no mother was ever meant to β and there is a way to begin quieting the chaos. The God who is close to the brokenhearted is not asking you to fight your way to peace alone. He is already reaching for you, ready to lead you to solid ground.
Ready to go deeper? Calming the Chaos is a ten-session series of faith-based teachings, each with its own workbook, created for grieving moms who are tired of being stuck in the guilt, the fear, and the doubt β and ready to find their way back to living again. You can work through it at your own pace, in your own time with God.

You keep showing up for everyone else. Your surviving children, your spouse, your job, the people who never see what you carry. You hand out grace, patience, room to not be okay β to everyone but yourself.
In her first episode back, Teresa sits down for an honest, tender conversation about the grace grieving moms give away so freely and almost never keep for themselves. Because here is the truth so many of us live and rarely admit: you cannot give from empty.
In this episode, you'll discover...
- Why the strongest grieving moms are so often the most depleted β and what that strength is quietly costing you
- Why giving yourself grace is not the same as abandoning the people who still need you
- What one grieving woman at an empty tomb can show you about being filled back up
- The verse that says your most emptied-out moment may be the exact place you are held the most
If you have forgotten what it feels like to be poured into instead of poured out, this is the gentle place to begin. You are not failing because you are tired. You are carrying something almost no one can see β and the God who is close to the brokenhearted has not stopped tending to you, even now.

There is a question every grieving mother eventually asks herself.
Who am I β because I don't recognize myself anymore.
If that question has been living with you β quietly, in the spaces between the hard days β this episode is for you.
Today Teresa walks with you through one of the most tender and misunderstood parts of grief. The part where you begin to catch glimpses of someone forming inside of you β and you are not sure you like her yet. The part where feeling hope brings a wave of guilt you did not see coming. The part where moving forward feels like betraying the child you love.
What you are feeling is not what you think it is. And the woman you are becoming is not a stranger.
In this episode, you'll discover...
π Why the guilt that rushes in the first time you feel hope is not the voice of God β and what it actually is
π What the Potter and the clay reveal about the woman forming inside of you β and why she is not a stranger
π The truth about moving forward that every grieving mother needs to hear β and why it has nothing to do with leaving your child behind
π Why the becoming is slow β and why that is not a sign that something is wrong
You are not losing yourself. You are not leaving your child behind. You are being held in the hands of a Potter who has not left the wheel β who has not grown tired of the work β who knows exactly what He is creating, even when you cannot see it yet.

If you have just found yourself in the most disorienting place you have ever been β unable to think straight, unable to explain what you are living through, unable to recognize yourself or your life β this episode is for you.
This is for the mom who is in the earliest and most vulnerable steps of her grief journey. The mom who is searching for something, anything, to hold onto. The mom who needs someone to tell her that what she is feeling is not strange, not wrong, and not the end of her story.
Today Teresa sits with you exactly where you are. No pressure to be further along. No expectation to have it together. Just permission to be exactly where you are β and something solid to hold onto while you are there.
In this episode you'll discover...
- Why the disorientation you are feeling after child loss is not a sign that something is wrong β it is a sign that you loved deeply
- What it actually looks like to give yourself permission to be exactly where you are right now
- A powerful scripture that gives you your very next step when you have no idea which way to turn
- Start your day with this one simple practice that will carry you through even your hardest moments
You are going to make it. Even when it feels like you are not. Even when you cannot see the path forward through the fog of your grief. He is your rock of safety and He is not letting go.

The Grief Mentor Podcast / Teresa Davis / Your Grief Mentor
There is a kind of loneliness after child loss that no one warned you about. It is not the absence of people. It is the presence of everyone β and still feeling completely alone. Because the one person you want in the room is not there. And that absence has a weight to it that settles into your body, follows you everywhere, and whispers something in the dark that is hard to unhear.
This episode is for the mom who has been white-knuckling her way through her days feeling like nobody really sees what this is costing her.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why grief loneliness is different from any other kind of loneliness β and why it makes complete sense that you feel it even in a room full of people who love you
- What the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 reveals about what God actually does when we hit our breaking point β and why it matters for where you are right now
- The honest question behind Matthew 7:9-11 that many grieving moms have asked in the quiet of their hearts β and what Jesus' answer really means
- What begins to shift when you learn to lean into the still small voice β and why His presence is not a feeling but a lifeline
You do not have to figure out the forever. You do not have to understand the why. He is not asking that of you today. He is only asking you to lean in β just enough for this next moment, this next hour, this next day.
With love and care,
Teresa-Your Grief Mentor

You are tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. And somewhere in the back of your mind you already know that β but you keep going anyway. Because stopping feels wrong. Because everyone around you still needs something. And summer is coming and you can already feel the weight of what it used to look like pressing up against what it looks like now.
This episode is for the mom who has been holding everyone else together and has forgotten that she is allowed to be held too. The mom who thinks that pushing harder is the answer. The mom who is existing instead of living and doesn't even realize it anymore.
Today Teresa gives you something she wishes someone had given her much earlier in her own grief journey β permission to rest. And more than that β she shows you exactly what that looks like right now, in this season, in this life that looks nothing like it used to.
In this episode you'll discover...
- Why the habits you created just to survive grief may no longer be serving you β and what to do about it
- The two areas Teresa wants you to focus on right now that will significantly affect your grief journey years from now
- What rest actually looks like when you are a grieving mom β and why it is not selfish, not lazy, and not optional
- What God's Word says about your permission to stop, breathe, and be led beside peaceful streams
Give yourself permission to rest today. He is already there waiting for you.

Mother's Day can look so many different ways when you are a mom who is grieving the loss of your child. Maybe it was harder than you expected. Maybe grief showed up in a moment you weren't prepared for. Maybe you sat in a room full of people and felt completely alone. Whatever this past weekend looked like for you β you are not alone, and you are seen.
In this episode, Teresa sits down with you β to share, straight from her own Mother's Day, including a moment at church that she wasn't prepared for, a word the Holy Spirit spoke over her, and something she wants every grieving mom to carry into the week ahead.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why grief has a way of showing up in the most ordinary and beautiful moments β and what to do when it does
- What the Holy Spirit reminded Teresa in the middle of her own heaviness β and why it matters for you too
- Why the waiting room of grief is not what you think it is β and what your one job is while you're in it
- The greatest courage Teresa has ever witnessed on this earth β and why it belongs to you
You don't have to have it all together today. You don't have to manufacture peace or force hope. You just have to draw near. He is already close β closer than your next breath β and He is still writing your story.

Mother's Day is tomorrow. And if you are a grieving mom, you already feel the weight of it pressing in. This episode is not a list of steps or strategies. It is simply a place to land before the day arrives β a word, a truth, and a prayer spoken over you before you face tomorrow.
You don't have to thrive tomorrow. You don't have to perform okayness or smile it away. You just have to take it one moment at a time. And you do not have to do that alone.
If you need something to hold onto before Mother's Day gets here β stay with me.
In this episode you'll discover:
- The one truth from Isaiah 43 that will carry you through every hard moment of tomorrow
- Four words that can become your anchor when the weight of the day feels like too much
- A prayer spoken specifically over grieving moms β before Mother's Day arrives
You are not alone in this. He is not waiting on the other side of tomorrow. He is with you through every single moment of it.

Mother's Day is coming β and you already feel it. Maybe it started in the grocery store when you saw the flowers. Maybe it was a commercial. Maybe it was someone asking if you had anything special planned. And something inside of you just stopped. This episode is for you β the grieving mom who is dreading the day that the rest of the world is getting ready to celebrate.
You are still a mother. That did not change when your child left this earth. But part of this day feels missing now β and your heart is torn between what was and what is. Whether you are grieving your only child or carrying the weight of loving the children still beside you while mourning the one who is not β this episode was made for where you are right now.
If Mother's Day feels more like something to survive than something to celebrate, stay with me. What you'll find in this episode might be exactly what your heart needs before the day arrives.
In this episode you'll discover:
- Why the pain of Mother's Day often starts long before the day itself β and why your heart is not wrong for feeling it
- What scripture says about how God sees your grief β and why you don't have to conform to the world's version of what Mother's Day is supposed to look like
- What Jesus did from the cross for his mother β and what that means for you this Mother's Day
- How to give yourself permission to navigate this day in a way that lets your whole family breathe
You do not have to perform okayness this Mother's Day. You do not have to go to the places that will cost you more than you have to give. You have permission to protect your heart β and the hearts of the people around you β while still honoring the love that will never leave you. God sees you. And he has not left you alone in this.

You didn't plan for this. The midnight trips to the kitchen. The plate of food you don't remember finishing. Or the smell of dinner that sends you straight to another room because you can't bear it. After loss, something shifts in your relationship with food β and most grieving moms have no idea it's even happening.
This episode brings language to something you've been living but couldn't quite explain. Registered dietitian and faith-centered food freedom coach Brittany Braswell joins us to talk about what grief actually does to your body β and why the way you're eating (or not eating) right now makes complete sense.
In this episode, you'll discover...
β¨ Why grief disconnects you from your body's natural hunger and fullness cues β and what that disconnect actually feels like from the inside
β¨ The difference between physical cravings and emotional cravings, and why knowing which one you're feeling changes everything
β¨ How restriction and overeating can both be grief responses β and why neither one means you're out of control
β¨ A simple 15-second body scan practice you can do today to start finding your way back to yourself
You are not broken. You are a mom carrying the heaviest thing a human heart can hold β and your body is doing the best it can to survive it. God has not left you in this. He is present even here, even in this, even now.

You've asked it in the car. In the middle of the night. Standing in a grocery store aisle when something on the shelf reminded you of them and the weight of it nearly took you out.
Am I always going to feel this much pain ?
It's one of the most honest questions a grieving mom asks β and it deserves an honest answer.
This episode doesn't offer you a timeline or a promise that it gets easier by a certain date. What it does offer is something more grounded than that β a look at what the pain actually does over time, and who stays close to you inside of it.
In this episode, you'll discover...
β What the Hebrew word qarob β translated as "close" in Psalm 34:18 β actually means, and why it changes everything about how you hear that verse
β Why the word God chose for "brokenhearted" in that same passage is not soft or poetic β and what it tells you about the heart He draws near to
β An honest, compassionate answer to whether the pain ever changes β and what shifts, and why
β What it means to learn to carry love and loss in the same heart without being destroyed by either one

There is a moment that almost every grieving mom knows. You had a good day β maybe even just a good hour β and before you could fully exhale, the guilt came rushing in. How dare I feel okay. How dare I laugh. How dare I have a good day when my child is no longer physically here with me.
If that is where you are, I want you to know that what you are experiencing is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It is not a sign that you loved your child less. And it is not something that gets talked about honestly very often.
In this episode, you'll discover...
β¨ Why guilt shows up after a good day β and what it is actually trying to do inside your grief
β¨ The difference between guilt and the Holy Spirit's conviction β and why so many grieving moms confuse the two
β¨ What the Greek word for condemnation really means β and why it changes everything about the verdict guilt keeps pronouncing over you
β¨ The truth about your love for your child that guilt has been keeping you from hearing
You are not a bad mother for having a good day. You are not betraying your child by laughing, by breathing easier, by letting life be okay for a few hours. And God's Word has something very specific to say about the verdict guilt keeps delivering.
Come and listen. You are safe here.

Fear after child loss doesn't always show up loud. It shows up as hesitation. As not making the plan, not making the call, not letting yourself want something β because wanting feels dangerous now.
And if that's where you are today β this episode is for you.
In this episode we are going to talk about what fear is actually doing in your grief β and why, when fear leads, it will only take you to one place. More fear. But we are also going to talk about what it looks like to take one trembling, faithful step and surrender the lead.
In this episode, you'll discover...
β¨ Why fear after child loss isn't a character flaw β and what it's really telling you about your love for your child
β¨ The one question that exposes fear's biggest lie β and why control was never the answer
β¨ What it actually looks like to choose trust over fear when your hands are still shaking
β¨ One practical step you can take today to stop letting fear make your decisions
You don't have to be fearless to move forward. You just have to be willing to take one step. And you don't have to take it alone.

Friend, you don't have to figure this out alone.
Teresa | Your Grief Mentor
You prayed. You believed. You begged God to heal your child. And He didn't. That question has probably lived in the quiet corners of your heart for a long time β too sacred to say out loud, too heavy to keep carrying alone.
This episode gives you permission to ask it.
There is a difference between a faith that falls apart under the weight of hard questions and a faith that gets forged in them. Today we are going to walk into one of the hardest places a grieving mom can go β and we are going to find God waiting there.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why asking this question doesn't mean you are faithless β it means your love is real
- What James 5:16 actually means for the prayers you prayed over your child
- How God's answer to your prayer was more eternal than what you could see from where you were standing
- What Isaiah 49 reveals about God's compassion for you and your child β and why your name is written on the palms of His hands
- How the truth of your child's eternal healing can bring your heart to a place of rest
You don't have to have it all figured out to take the next step. You just have to be willing to bring the question to the One who can handle it.

Friend, you don't have to figure this out alone. This is your first step.
Teresa | Your Grief Mentor
You believed spring would feel different this year.
But instead, you're standing in a checkout line, sitting at a stoplight, scrolling through your feed β and there it is. A graduation picture. A cap and gown. A family celebrating what's next. And the thought shows up before you can stop it: My child should be here for this.
If spring has felt heavier than you expected, this episode is for you.
In this conversation, Teresa unpacks why this time of year can feel so loud for grieving moms β not loud in noise, but loud in what it's reminding you of. She walks you through what's really happening underneath that feeling that life is moving forward without you, and why your grief doesn't follow the same timeline as the season around you.
Inside this conversation, you'll discover:
- When Two Realities Meet: Why spring doesn't just bring sadness β it brings the painful reality between the life your heart is still holding and the life happening right in front of you.
- The Identity Layer Nobody Talks About: How spring milestones don't just remind you of what your child missed β they remind you of the version of you that didn't get to exist either.
- What Is Really Keeping You Stuck: Why the heaviness you're feeling this spring may not be coming from where you think.
- Permission to Walk at Your Own Pace: What it looks like to say "this is too much for me this year" without guilt, without explanation, and without apology.
- Rooted, Not Racing: Why your hope doesn't come from keeping up with what's moving around you β it comes from who lives inside you.

And then you come home from the grief retreat, back into the quiet, back into your life.

In this episode, we're going to uncover what's really happening in those momentsβwhy support feels so powerful in the room, why it changes when you leave, and what it actually looks like to begin carrying that steadiness into your everyday life.
Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦
- π Why grief retreats, support groups, and sessions feel so powerfulβand why that feeling shifts when you return home
- π The difference between external support and what begins to happen inside of you over time
- π How learning to be honest with God becomes the starting place for deeper awareness in your grief
- π What identity shifts and "cracks in your foundation" have to do with how you're processing your loss

You believe with everything in you that your child is in heaven, yet you still wake up with a heaviness on your chest that won't go away.
It's the question so many grieving moms carry in the quiet: "If I really believe they are with Jesus, why does it still hurt this much?"This internal tug-of-war can leave you feeling like your faith isn't strong enough or that you're failing at a journey you never asked to be on.
In this episode, we're peeling back the layers of that spiritual guilt to look at the messy middle ground where deep faith and deep sorrow coexist. You'll see why your tears aren't a sign of weak belief, but a testament to a love that was meant to last a lifetime.
Inside this conversation, you'll discover:
- The "Spiritual Vice Grip": How the pressure to "do better" in your grief actually keeps you from the peace you're searching for.
- A Lesson from the Pinto: What a vintage hymnal and a broken car door taught me about surrendering the things we cannot control.
- The Worship of Silence: Why the new The Resurrection of a King project by Tommee Profitt and K-LOVE is meeting grieving hearts in a way words can't.
- Truth vs. Sorrow: Why the hope of the resurrection doesn't actually cancel out the ache of today's absence.
Dear grieving mom, you don't have to choose between your hope in heaven and the reality of your hurt. Press play and let's sit in that space together, reminding your heart that Jesus is standing right there in the middle of the ache with you.

You wake up, and it's still real. The house is quiet, the weight is still there, and your child is still not walking beside you. And in that space, it can feel like nothing has changed⦠like death had the final word. But what if that's not actually true?
In this episode, we come to the turning point of the Easter storyβthe resurrectionβand what it means for you right now, not just someday. Not just a future hope, but a present truth you can begin to hold onto, even in the middle of your grief.
In this episode, you'll learnβ¦
- what the resurrection really changedβand why it matters for your grief today
- how to hold both the reality of your loss and the truth that death did not win
- why what feels like separation is not the full story in Christ
- where your hope can rest when everything still feels heavy
If today feels overwhelming, if your heart feels tired, or if you're struggling to reconcile what you believe with what you're experiencing⦠this conversation will meet you right there. You are not alone in this. God has not stepped away from you in your grief, and because Jesus is alive, there is more to your story than what you can see right now.

There is a heavy, hollow space in the Easter story that we often rush past, but for a grieving mom, it's the place where we live every day. It's the "messy middle" between the cross and the resurrectionβthe silent Saturday where what you hoped for didn't happen, and what you're left holding feels impossibly heavy. If you've ever felt like heaven has gone quiet since the death of your child, you are not as alone as you feel. In this episode, we step together into that sacred, quiet space where God seems distant and the journey feels too long to endure. You'll hear a story that reminds us how a simple shift in perspective can change everything, even when the pain remains the same. Inside this conversation, we'll explore together: * The significant difference between God's silence and His absence in your grief journey. * Why the "Saturday" of your story is the hardest place to sit, and how Jesus personally understands that isolation. * The subtle shift that happens when you stop walking into the unknown and start walking toward home. * How to find the strength to lift your head when the weight of child loss feels like more than you can bear.
You don't have to figure out the "why" of the silence today. You only need to know that the road home does not lead to despairβit leads to life, restoration, and the arms of a Father who has never left your side. Take a deep breath and join me for part four of our Easter series; let's find the path home together. π Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself.

It can feel like death made a decision for youβ¦ like a line was drawn and someone you love is now on the other side of it. When your child is no longer walking beside you, it doesn't just feel painfulβit feels final. Like no one stopped it. Like death had the last word.
But what if that's not the full story?
In this episode, we step into what Jesus actually did when He faced deathβand why that changes everything about how you see your child's story. If you've been trying to reconcile what you believe about God with what you've experienced, this conversation will meet you right in that tension and gently begin to shift it.
In this episode, you'll discoverβ¦
- What it really means that Jesus chose deathβand why that matters for you
- Why death feels like it has the final say⦠and what Scripture reveals instead
- How "it is finished" changes the way you understand your child's story
- The truth about separation, eternity, and what has already been settled
If you've been struggling to make sense of the silence and the separation, I invite you to lean in today. You don't have to carry the weight of these questions alone, and you don't have to settle for easy answers. There is a hope that is stronger than the grave, and a Savior who has already settled the debt once and for all.

There is a moment seared into the memory of every grieving momβthe phone call, the diagnosis, or the knock on the door that shattered your world forever. In that moment, death isn't just a concept; it enters your story and brings with it a flood of agonizing questions about why the God you love didn't step in to protect your child. If you feel like your faith has been shaken to the core, you are not alone in the tension of loving your Heavenly Father while suffering the deepest pain imaginable. This episode helps you navigate the confusing space where your reality doesn't match what you believed about God's protection, offering a different perspective on His compassion when the heavens feel silent. Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦ * The common struggle of reconciling a God who could have stopped the pain with a reality where He didn't. * Why silence from Heaven is not the same as abandonment or absence. * A powerful perspective from Psalm 57 on how God's rescue often looks different than ours. * How to hold onto the truth of God's unchanging character even when you can't see His hand in your story.
You don't have to carry the weight of these unspoken questions by yourself or rush to find easy answers that don't fit your heart. Come sit with me as we lean into the hard truths of this Easter season, remembering that even in the moments that feel like forsaking, His compassion is moving toward you. π Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself.

If you're a grieving mom, there is a question that eventually rises up in your heart, whether you say it out loud or not: Why did death come to my door? You prayed, you trusted God, and you believed He could protect your child, yet the unthinkable still happened. When death enters your story, it's easy to wonder if God is truly as good as you once thought. This episode is the beginning of a special five-part Easter series designed to help you navigate the painful intersection of grief and faith. We're going back to the very beginning to look at where death came from, why it exists, and why the loss of your child does not mean that God has turned against you. In this episode, we'll explore together⦠* What Scripture reveals about God's original design for life and the absence of death. * The specific moment the "enemy" entered the human story and how it changed everything. * Why the instinct telling you "this should not be happening" is actually a spiritual truth. * How to view death as an enemy of God rather than a tool He uses against you.
You don't have to carry these heavy questions alone, and your shaking faith is not a sign of failure. It is the response of a heart that recognizes death for what it truly isβan enemy that God is already working to defeat. I pray this conversation brings a sense of peace to your heart today as we begin this journey toward the hope of Easter. π Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself.

Does it ever feel like "hoping" is a betrayal? Like if you start to look forward to tomorrow, or even just a simple vacation, you're somehow leaving your child behind in yesterday? Friend, that is the guilt of grief, and it is a lie that can keep you paralyzed in the dark. But today, we are breaking that chain and giving you permission to hope againβnot because the pain is gone, but because your anchor is fixed in a place that cannot be shaken. In this final episode of our Permission and Practice series, we are moving from the whimsical "wishes" of the world to the certain, unbreakable Kingdom Hope found in Hebrews 6:19. We'll explore how to find your footing when you feel lost in the "messy middle" and how to train your soul to look for the tiny micro-evidences that God has not forgotten your story. Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦ * Why "Kingdom Hope" is a certainty and a person, not a "maybe" or a change in your circumstances. * The beautiful truth of the "Inner Sanctuary" and how your hope is tethered to the very place where your child is already waiting. * How to shift your perspective on sunrises and sunsets so they become a countdown to reunion rather than a reminder of absence. * A simple, three-step practice to identify "Glimmers" of God's goodness even when your heart is still breaking

Does it ever feel like there is a literal roar inside your head? The "should-haves," the "what-ifs," and that crushing mental anguish that fills the silence your child left behindβthat is grief noise. It's loud, it's heavy, and it's exhausting to carry the weight of a mind trying to make sense of something that will never fully make sense this side of heaven. In this episode, we step into the next part of our Permission and Practice series by talking about something many grieving moms experience but rarely know how to quiet: the noise inside their minds. Through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 and the promise found in Isaiah 26:3, you'll begin to see that God is not found in the loud storm of grief thoughts, but in the gentle whisper that invites your mind toward peace. Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦ * Why the "grief noise" demands 100% of your bandwidth and how the enemy mimics your own voice to keep you in a loop of shame. * The vital difference between having a perfect understanding of your circumstances and having a mind fixed on the Prince of Peace. * How to identify the "wind, earthquake, and fire" in your own life so you can finally hear the gentle whisper of the Father. * The two essential pillars you must seek to keep from burning out in the isolation that grief often creates.
If your mind has felt like a battlefield and the noise of grief refuses to quiet, this conversation will remind you that you are not aloneβand that God still meets weary hearts in the whisper. Press play and allow this moment to help you turn your thoughts toward the peace God promises.

π Feeling Soul-Tired? Friend, if your heart feels weary and you need someone to walk beside you for a little while, you don't have to carry this alone.

Have you ever felt that heavy pressure to show up even when your heart didn't have the strength? The pressure to answer the text, return the call, attend the gathering, or reassure people that you're "doing okay." Grieving moms often carry an invisible weight of expectations β not just their own grief, but the emotional comfort of everyone around them. And when you don't have the energy to respond, guilt quietly steps in and whispers that you're disappointing people.
In this episode, we continue the short series on permission and practice for the hard days by exploring something many grieving moms struggle with: the guilt of saying no. Through a powerful moment in Scripture, you'll see how even Jesus stepped away from urgent needs in order to protect the strength of His soul β and what that means for you as you navigate life after child loss.
Inside this conversation, you'll discover⦠* The truth about why you feel the need to manage other people's comfort while you are grieving * How to identify if you are running on "false strength" and the toll it takes on your walk with the Lord * The simple, one-sentence script for setting a boundary without needing to offer a five-sentence explanation * Why protecting your emotional energy is a spiritual act of stewardship rather than a sign of weakness
If you've been carrying the weight of expectations while trying to survive your own grief, this conversation will remind you that protecting your heart is not selfish β it's wise. God sees your weary soul, and His Word offers permission to step away from the noise and find rest in His presence. Press play and let this be a moment where your heart can breathe again.

Feeling soul-tired and need someone to walk with you? Book a one-on-one Grief Mentor Session here. Have you ever felt like your grief is a battle you have to fight every single day, and if you stop to rest for even a moment, you're somehow betraying your child? You are carrying a weight that is physically and soul-exhausting, waking up each morning to an ache that feels impossible to outrun. But what if the battle you're fighting isn't actually yours to win? In the first installment of this four-part series for the hard days, we explore the radical idea that rest is not a sign of weakened love, but an act of profound faith. You'll discover how a simple instruction given to the Israelites at the edge of the Red Sea is the exact lifeline God is offering your weary heart today. It's time to unpack the heavy "bucket" of expectations and find a way forward through the mountain of your grief. Inside this conversation, you'll discover⦠* The hidden reason why resting often feels like a failure to your child and how to silence that guilt * How to identify the "soul-tired" exhaustion that goes beyond physical fatigue and why you can't "will" your way out of it * The life-changing difference between fighting your grief and allowing God to fight the battle for you * A practical, 15-minute rhythm designed to help you step away from the noise and anchor your heart in truth
You don't have to carry the weight of the worldβor your griefβall by yourself today. Press play and give yourself the permission you've been searching for to simply be still.

he word surrender is one of the hardest words for a grieving mom to even consider. To your heart, surrender feels heavyβweighted with the fear of what else might be taken and the exhaustion of a cost you never agreed to pay. You've been trained by loss to protect, to pull back, and to brace for the next storm, making the idea of letting go feel more like a threat than a relief. This episode explores the tension between our desire for rest and our fear of the unknown. We look at the 400 years of silence before Mary's encounter with the angel and how her response of "May it be to me as you have said" provides a roadmap for us today. If you've felt blinded by your pain or hesitant to sing of the "cost" of following Jesus, there is a gentle way forward through the darkness. Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦ * Why surrender feels like an abstract, intangible risk when you can't physically see the One you're surrendering to. * The connection between Mary's spiritual confusion in the book of Luke and the "grief blindness" we experience in our own loss. * What it looks like to wrestle with the cost of following Christ when you feel like you've already given everything. * How to recognize the "open door" God is placing in front of you, even when your pain makes it hard to see the way out of the wilderness.
You don't have to navigate this tug of war alone, and you don't have to have all the answers to find rest. The Holy Spirit is whispering "come closer," not to take more from you, but to hold you in His inner sanctuary where the weight is finally lightened. Lean in and listen, knowing that even in the silence and the questions, God is making a supernatural way for your weary heart. β¨ YOUR INVITATION: THE GRIEF ROADMAP β¨ The Grief Roadmap isn't just a courseβit is a 12-week, intimate small group mentoring experience designed specifically for the mom who is tired of just holding it together...and ready to finally untangle the hidden layers of her loss. This is your safe space to exhale. It is a community of moms who truly get itβwho understand the silence, the questions, and the weight of the "what-ifs." Together, we walk through a structured, faith-based journey to move from being paralyzed by pain to being held by hope. What's Waiting For You Inside: * 12 Weeks of Mentoring: Direct guidance from me, your Grief Mentor, as we walk this path step-by-step. * A Community That Understands: Stop explaining your pain and start being understood by women who speak your language. * A Proven Path: We don't just talk about grief; we process it using the tools you need to breathe again.

"Maybe I'll just give it more time. I'm not ready. I'll see how I feel in a few months." It sounds responsible. It sounds patient. It even sounds spiritual. But what if "wait and see" isn't neutral? What if staying stuck is costing you more than you realize? In today's episode, we are having an honest conversation about the real price of staying stuck after child loss. Time alone does not rebuild what grief has fractured, and today, we explore how to recognize when the Holy Spirit is telling you that you've stayed at this mountain long enough. I'm talking about the mountain of pain that you bear every day. I want to help you move to a place where remembering with more love than pain is possible. You'll be invited to look honestly at whether waiting is protecting your heart⦠or keeping you from what the Holy Spirit has for you.
In This Episode, We Discuss: * The Illusion of Safety: Why we mistake "standing still" for "staying safe" and how it leads to isolation. * The Four Questions of Discernment: A gentle self-check to see if waiting is shrinking your world or keeping you behind a heavy mask. * Deuteronomy 1:6: Understanding God's perspective on when it is time to break camp and move forward from the mountain of pain. * Fear vs. The Holy Spirit: How to distinguish between the scream of fear and the gentle whisper of God's "more" for your life. * The Power of the Group: Why 14 moms have already decided to stop waiting and start walking together on March 5th.
If you've been circling the same emotional ground and wondering whether anything will actually change, this conversation will help you name what's really happening β and challenge you to consider your next brave step.
Press play, and let's talk about what waiting may be costing you⦠and what God might be inviting you into instead.

You used to handle a full day without thinking twice. Now even simple choices feel overwhelming. What to wear. What to cook. Whether to answer the phone. And somewhere in the middle of it all, you've started wondering, What is wrong with me? If you feel mentally drained, foggy, and worn thin in ways sleep can't fix, this episode will help you understand why.
In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on "grief brain" and decision fatigue β and why pushing harder has only made you more exhausted. You'll begin to see how working at the surface level of grief can keep you stuck in chaos, and why clarity β not effort β is what actually restores strength.
In this episode, you'll learnβ¦
- Why decision fatigue is a real and common response to child loss
- How unresolved grief creates mental overload you can't outwork
- What Scripture means when it talks about making "straight paths"
- The difference between striving harder and building real structure
If you are truly tired of trying to outwork a pain that feels bottomless, I invite you to stop striving and come sit with me for a moment.
You don't have to figure this out on your own, and you don't have to keep pushing through the depletion. There is a way to find a smoother path for your feet, and God is inviting you to lean into His strength right where you are.

"Am I betraying my child if I start to feel better?"
It's a question most grieving moms never say out loud. Not because you love your child any less. But because pain has started to feel like the only bridge between you and them. Somewhere along the way, suffering begins to feel like loyalty β and the thought of healing feels like forgetting.
In this episode, we step into that tension. The guilt that surfaces when you laugh for a moment. The heaviness that follows a day that didn't end in tears. And the fear that hope for your future might somehow dishonor your child. Anchored in Psalm 94, we talk about what happens when your "foot feels like it's slipping" β and how God's comfort meets you right there.
Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦
- Why guilt often shows up the moment you begin to feel lighter
- The hidden belief that suffering proves your love
- What Psalm 94 reveals about God's support when your heart feels unsteady
- How to move forward in strength without leaving your child behind
If you've ever felt afraid that healing might mean betrayal, I hope you'll press play. God's comfort does not erase your love β it strengthens you to carry it differently. You are not dishonoring your child by stepping toward peace.

When the house gets quiet and the weight of missing your child feels heavier than you can possibly bear, it's natural to look for a place to retreat. Whether you are leaning on your family to carry the weight or retreating inward to manage it all alone, you might be surprised to find that your "hiding place" is actually a response to the hidden layers of grief that no one warned you about. This episode is a gentle but honest look at how we survive the unthinkable. We're moving past the surface-level "I'm fine" and looking at the patterns that quietly shape your days. If you feel like you're stuck in a cycle of just getting through the next hour, this conversation will help you identify the deeper layers keeping you isolated so you can begin to find your way back to a place of connection. Inside this conversation, you'll discover: * The "Hiding Place" Audit: How to identify where you are retreatingβwhether it's through "staying busy," scrolling, or complete emotional shutdown. * The Burden of the Surviving Child: A candid look at whether you are unintentionally asking your other children to carry more than they were meant to. * Isolation vs. Solitude: Why your current coping mechanisms might be keeping you stuck in survival mode instead of moving toward healing. * The "Function over Feeling" Trap: Why staying busy feels like safety, but might actually be the very thing keeping your heart from finding rest.
I want you to know that you don't have to carry the heavy layers of loss by yourself. There is a safe place for you to be seen, heard, and understood without judgment. Press play, take a deep breath, and remember that even in your darkest hiding place, God sees you, He loves you, and He is waiting to meet you right where you are. β¨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms β February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything β the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward β you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

Why does it feel like every time you start to feel a bit of peace, you get pulled right back into the pain? You aren't choosing to stay stuck, and you certainly aren't trying to live in this dark place, yet it keeps happening. You take one step forward, something shifts, and suddenly you are pulling inward again, feeling like your thoughts are spiraling out of control. In this episode, we're going one layer deeper into why grief does this and uncovering the "silent coping mechanism" that might be holding you back. We'll look at a familiar story from the Book of Exodus to understand why freedom requires more than just leaving the past behindβit requires a new way of walking that might feel a little risky at first. Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦ * π€ You'll hear about the "silent coping mechanism" you likely don't even realize you're usingβand why it's blocking the very peace you're praying for. * π€ You'll learn why "knowing the truth" isn't the same as "living the truth" and the one thing required to bridge that gap. * π€ You'll discover the "hidden cost" of taking a step forward and why your heart perceives this move as a high-risk gamble. * π€ You'll hear what God offered the Israelites instead of a map, and how that same gift is the key to your path forward today.
If your heart is tired of the "back and forth" struggle and you're longing for a rest that actually lasts, this episode is for you. You don't have to figure out the whole wilderness today; you just have to see the path He is lighting up just for you. β¨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms β February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything β the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward β you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

Have you ever felt like all you are doing is coping? One day turns into the next, and suddenly you find yourself six months down the roadβor even a yearβyet you feel like you are still standing in the exact same place you were on day one. You are living your life entirely inside the circumstances of your child's death, exhausted from the constant "push" to just get through the hour, and you've begun to wonder if peace is even a reality for you anymore. In this episode, we are going to pull back the curtain on the "survival mode" trap and look at your pain through a different lens. You will discover how to move from a place of being confined by your loss into a spacious, open place where life is still possible and hope is allowed to breathe again. Inside this conversation, you'll discover: * The hidden reason why the very coping mechanisms that kept you alive in the beginning might be what is keeping you stuck today. * How to distinguish between "pushing" through your grief and being "pulled" into the healing path God has prepared for you. * The three simple concepts that will clear the "Grief Brain" confusion and help you see a path forward. * Why moving into a place of peace doesn't mean leaving your child behind, but rather finding a new way to carry them with you.
You don't have to stay exhausted by the weight of just getting through. There is a way to honor your child while also stepping into the life God intends for youβone where the overwhelm of grief no longer clouds your vision.

If you believe in God but can't feel Him anywhere right now, you're not alone. When your child is no longer walking beside you, faith can feel fragile, confusing, and even unsafe to hold. You still pray. You still believe. But God feels distant, quiet, and harder to find than ever before.
In this episode, we sit inside that ache without rushing past it. This is an honest conversation for grieving moms who are doing their best to hold on, even as their grip feels loose. You'll hear why this experience is deeply human, deeply biblical, and not a failure of your faithβespecially after a loss that has turned your world upside down.
In this episode, we'll explore togetherβ¦
- Why faith can feel harder to hold after child lossβeven when you still believe
- What Scripture shows us about seasons when God feels absent or unreachable
- How grief disrupts the way we hear, sense, and experience God's presence
- Why needing something tangible to hold onto doesn't mean you're weak in faith
If your faith feels fragile right now, I want you to know this: God is not offended by your questions, your confusion, or your aching heart. He is closer than you realizeβeven in the silence. Press play, friend. Let's sit with this together.

You don't wake up one day and decide you're a different person. It happens slowly β as the life you expected is taken away and survival becomes your focus. And then one day, you realize the woman looking back at you doesn't feel familiar anymore.
If you've found yourself thinking, "I don't know who I am now," β you're not alone.
In this episode, we talk about the disorienting identity shift that often comes after child loss β not in the earliest days, but later, when the shock wears off and reality settles in. This is the stage many grieving moms aren't prepared for, and rarely hear named.
This conversation will help you understand what's happening inside you, why it feels so unsettling, and how Scripture speaks directly into this place of grief.
In this episode, you'll hear about:
- Why identity rupture doesn't happen right away β and why that delayed realization can feel so destabilizing
- How Naomi's story in the book of Ruth mirrors the loss of self many grieving moms experience
- What it means when you don't recognize yourself anymore β and why that awareness matters
- How naming this stage of grief becomes the first step toward clarity, steadiness, and movement
If you're standing in that in-between place β no longer who you were, but unsure of who you're becoming β this episode is for you.

You've listened. You've prayed. You've read the books and tried the suggestions.
And yet⦠you still feel stuck.
If you're a grieving mom who keeps searching for relief but can't seem to find it, this episode names what's really happening beneath the surface β and why trying harder isn't the answer.
Many grieving moms stay caught in survival mode, absorbing more and more information, hoping the next insight will finally bring peace. But grief doesn't heal through endless input. It heals when faith is given structure and space to move.
In this episode, you'll hear the story of a woman in Scripture who tried everything for twelve years β and how one small step of faith changed everything.
Inside this conversation, you'll hear about:
- Why grief can make thinking feel safer than taking a step
- The difference between hearing truth and moving with faith
- How survival mode keeps grieving moms stuck
- Why relief doesn't come from knowing more, but from taking the next step
- What the woman with the issue of blood teaches us about faith, risk, and healing
If you've been worn down by suggestions and still don't know what to do next, this episode offers clarity, Scripture, and a steadier way forward.
You don't need all the answers. You just need the next faithful step.

If the word surrender makes your chest tighten instead of bringing peace, you're not alone. After lossβespecially child lossβsurrender can feel dangerous. It can sound like vulnerability, exposure, or risk. And when you've already lost what mattered most, even the idea of opening your hands again can feel terrifying.
In this episode, we're gently unpacking why surrender feels so unsafe after grief, what control is really doing for your heart, and how God isn't asking you to release your childβbut to release the unbearable weight of trying to protect yourself from ever being hurt again.
Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦
- Why surrender often feels threatening after trauma, not comforting
- How control becomes a survival responseβnot a personality flaw
- What the story of Noah teaches us about trusting God with what we've never seen
- How surrender isn't about certaintyβit's about relationship
If you've been bracing yourself, gripping tightly, or trying to stay one step ahead of pain, this episode is for you. God is not asking you to be fearlessβHe's inviting you to be held. And you don't have to walk into that alone. Press play and let Him meet you right where you are.

Your mind won't turn off. Every thought seems to loop back to your lossβwhat you should be feeling, what you shouldn't, what this means about you, why you're still here, and why nothing seems to change. You're not falling apartβ¦ but you're not really living either. And the more you think about your grief, the more trapped you feel inside your own head.
In this episode, I want to help you name what's actually happening when grief pulls you inward like thisβand why thinking harder about your pain isn't bringing the relief you hoped it would. We'll look at what Scripture says about this mental spiral, why it makes so much sense in grief, and how God offers something different than endless self-analysis.
In this conversation, you'll hear about:
- Why grief naturally turns you inwardβand when that starts working against you
- The difference between self-awareness and getting stuck in your own head
- What Scripture reveals about why thinking harder doesn't lead to healing
- How God gently leads us out of mental spirals and into spaciousness again
If you've been living inside your thoughts, trying to understand your way out of pain, I want you to knowβyou're not doing grief wrong. This episode is an invitation to breathe, to soften, and to consider that relief may not come from figuring yourself out, but from letting God lead you out of the places you've been stuck. You don't have to carry this alone. God is closer than you thinkβand He is not rushing you.

There are questions grief makes you ask that you never planned to ask. Questions you don't always say out loud. Questions that feel too heavy, too raw, or too dangerous to voiceβespecially when they're aimed at God. If you've ever whispered, Why me? Why my family? and then wondered what that even says about youβ¦ this episode is for you.
In this conversation, we talk about how grief doesn't just break your heartβit reshapes how you see yourself. It can quietly rewrite your identity, your confidence, and your sense of purpose. And when that happens, it's easy to start believing things about yourself that God never said. Today, we're slowing down long enough to look at what Scripture actually speaks into those questions.
Inside this episode, you'll discoverβ¦
- Why grief doesn't just affect your emotionsβit changes how you see who you are
- What Moses' story reveals about identity, fear, and feeling unqualified
- How God responds when we feel incapable, unseen, or overwhelmed
- Why God's presence matters more than your strength
If you've been carrying these questions alone, I want you to know you don't have to. This episode is an invitation to stop wrestling in silence and start listening for what God is gently saying about you. Press play, take a deep breath, and let this be a moment of rest for your heart. God is closer than you thinkβand He has not forgotten you.

Some days, grief doesn't feel like a waveβit feels like your starting over. You wake up and everything is there again: the ache, the weight, the questions. And you start wonderingβ¦ Why does this undo me so easily? Why does it always feel like I'm back at the beginning?
In this episode, I want to sit with that questionβ to look at it more honestly. Because what if those "starting over" days aren't proof that you're not making progress? What if they're pointing to something deeperβsomething your heart has been trying to tell you all along?
Inside this conversation, you'll explore:
- Why some grief days feel heavier than others, even when nothing "new" has happened
- The one thing many grieving moms don't realize they're missing
- The beliefs that quietly keep you stuck in the same emotional cycle
- A story from Scripture that may change how you think about peace, progress, and healing
If you've been feeling discouraged by how easily grief can knock you off your feet, I want you to hear this: you are not going backward. There may be more happening in those hard moments than you've ever been taught to see. Press play, and let's talk about it together. This is a very powerful episode and has the potential to open your eyes in a way nothing else has before.

"I don't know what I need anymoreβ¦ I just know I can't keep doing this." If that sentence has been living quietly in your heart, you're not alone β and you're not failing. You're showing up, functioning, and doing what needs to be done, yet something inside you knows the way you've been surviving is starting to wear thin.
In this episode, Teresa gently names why that feeling shows up after child loss β not as confusion or weakness, but as a natural response to grief disorienting your inner compass. Together, you'll explore why clarity often disappears in survival mode, and why not knowing what you need doesn't mean you're lost.
Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦
- β¨ Why "I don't know what I need" is a common and normal experience after child loss
- β¨ How survival mode helps you get through the day β but eventually becomes unsustainable
- β¨ The difference between unsupported grief, repressed grief, and complicated grief β and why understanding that difference matters
- β¨ How Scripture shows us that God meets us with care before clarity, not after
If you've been pushing yourself to keep going without really knowing how, this episode is an invitation to pause β not to fix anything, but to understand what your heart has been trying to say. God is not asking you to figure this out on your own. He is near, attentive, and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Press play and take this next moment one breath at a time.

You're showing up. You're praying. You're holding it together the best you know how.
And yet, something inside of you still feels heavy, unsettled, and stuck.
This episode is for the grieving mom who isn't falling apartβbut also isn't finding relief. The one who's doing "all the right things" and quietly wondering why it still feels so hard.
In this conversation, we gently explore why grief doesn't respond to effort the way other challenges do, and why feeling stuck is not a sign of failureβbut often a sign that you've been carrying too much on your own.
Inside this episode, you'll hear:
- Why grief can feel heavier even when you're doing everything "right"
- The difference between functioning and healing after child loss
- How Scripture reframes the burden you've been carrying
- Why needing support doesn't mean you're weakβit means you're human
If you've been wondering whether it's okay to stop trying to handle this alone, this episode offers permission, clarity, and hope. You are not behind. God sees the weight you're carrying, and He has never asked you to carry it by yourself.
Press play when your heart needs reassuranceβand a reminder that support is not a failure, but a gift.

January can feel isolating when you're grieving your child. The world is talking about fresh starts and new goals, but you may feel like you're living in a world you don't recognize anymoreβbecause your child is no longer in it.
In this episode, I'm naming why January often feels heavier than people expect after child loss, and why it makes sense if you don't want to "reset," "start over," or plan your way into a better version of yourself right now. This is about stepping out of the world's pressureβand finding a steadier place to stand.
In this episode, you'll learnβ¦
- Why the "new year" narrative can feel so disorienting after child loss
- How to recognize when cultural pressure is adding weight to your grief
- What it means to opt out of timelines and expectations that no longer fit your life
- How God begins in the empty, formless placesβwhen you have nothing left to give
If January has been making you feel out of place, behind, or quietly exhausted, I want you to know this: there is nothing wrong with you. You don't have to force progress to prove you're okay. Press play, take a slow breath, and let this episode remind you that God meets you right where you areβand He will not rush you.

January can feel heavier than expected after child loss. The holidays are over, the calendar has turned, and suddenly you're facing another year without your child walking beside you. If dread, exhaustion, or questions are filling your heart right now, this episode meets you exactly where you are.
In this conversation, we slow everything down and name what so many grieving moms feel in Januaryβbut rarely say out loud. You don't need answers. You don't need a plan. And you're not failing because you don't feel ready.
This episode offers permission to stop striving, stop forcing clarity, and begin listening to what your heart actually needs in this season.
In this episode, you'll hear:
- Why January often brings a flood of questions after child loss
- How grief questions can serve as signpostsβnot problems to solve
- What "being brave and courageous" really means for a grieving mom
- A simple, faith-anchored way to move forward without rushing your grief

As the calendar turns toward a new year, many grieving moms feel an unexpected weight. Moving forward can feel disloyal. Hope can feel complicated. And the quiet question rises: How do I walk into a new year when my child is no longer walking beside me?
In this episode, we return to Mary one final time. Scripture tells us she treasured these things and pondered them in her heart. Mary did not move forward by forgetting what she carried. She moved forward by holding love and life together.
In this episode, you'll hear:
- Why stepping into a new year can stir guilt after child loss
- How Mary teaches us to carry memory and movement together
- Why loving your child deeply and living forward are not opposites
- How faith invites you to walk gently into what comes next
This conversation offers permission to grieve, remember, and continue living β all at the same time.

You made it through Christmas β and yet the quiet afterward feels heavier than you expected. If you're wondering why grief feels stronger after the holiday ends, you're not alone.
In this episode, we continue Mary's story beyond the manger and into ordinary life. The miracle had arrived, but the road ahead was still uncertain. Mary kept walking forward without applause, without relief from responsibility, and without knowing what the future would hold.
In this episode, you'll hear:
- Why grief often intensifies after the holidays end
- How emotional exhaustion can surface once the "survival mode" wears off
- Why feeling worse does not mean you're regressing in your grief
- What Mary's quiet faithfulness teaches grieving moms about the days after Christmas
If your heart feels heavier now than it did during the holiday itself, this episode offers reassurance, truth, and permission to rest.

In this final episode of the Advent series, we sit with Mary at the edge of Christmas β waiting, holding, trusting β long before joy was fulfilled. Mary did not know how everything would unfold, but she carried hope inside uncertainty. Her story reminds grieving moms that hope does not begin when circumstances change. Hope begins in the waiting.
In this episode, you'll hear:
- Why hope often arrives before comfort or clarity
- How Mary held sorrow and promise together without forcing joy
- What quiet, real hope looks like for grieving moms during Christmas
- Why you don't need to perform happiness to experience God's presence
If Christmas feels tender this year, this episode offers a gentle place to rest.

There comes a moment in grief when striving runs out. When you've tried to hold it together, tried to understand, tried to manage the pain β and you realize you can't carry it this way anymore. If you're a grieving mom who feels exhausted by trying to control what can't be fixed, this episode is for you.
In this fifth episode of the Advent series, we turn to Mary's quiet, courageous surrender in Luke 1:38. Mary didn't say yes to God because she understood the road ahead β she said yes because she trusted the One who would walk it with her. Her surrender didn't remove hardship, but it changed how she carried it.
In this episode, you'll hear:
- Why surrender in grief is not weakness β it's wisdom
- What Mary's "yes" teaches grieving moms about trust without certainty
- How control often becomes a survival strategy after loss
- Why surrender doesn't mean letting go of your child, your love, or your story
This Advent, you're invited to stop striving β and begin entrusting your heart to God, one day at a time.

Loneliness in grief doesn't always look like being alone β sometimes it shows up surrounded by people, sitting at full tables, yet feeling unseen inside your ache. This Advent conversation speaks directly to that quiet loneliness many moms carry, especially during the holidays.
In this episode, I reflect on Mary's lonely journey into Bethlehem and how her experience reveals a tender truth about grief: God can be present⦠and the road can still feel isolating.
In this episode, you'll discoverβ¦
- Why loneliness doesn't mean God is absent
- How Mary's birth story mirrors the unseen ache of grief
- Why feeling misunderstood doesn't signal weak faith
- What helps when your heart longs to be truly seen
If this season feels heavy and lonely, this gentle reflection is here to remind you β you are known, held, and never overlooked by heaven.

When grief leads you onto a road you never chose, the question becomes quiet but heavy: How do I keep going when I don't even know where this is headed? This episode speaks to the weary heart that is waking up each day, still breathing, still showing up β even when strength feels thin and clarity feels far away.
In today's Advent reflection, we walk with Mary on the dusty road to Bethlehem β not with certainty or confidence, but with quiet obedience β and discover how her story mirrors the courage it takes to keep moving forward after loss, one small step at a time.
In this episode, you'll discoverβ¦
- How to keep walking when the future feels unclear

If the future feels heavy and unpredictable this season β if holiday gatherings bring questions instead of comfort β this episode speaks directly to your heart. Fear often lives in the space between what we know and what we cannot control, and grief makes that space feel overwhelming.
In this second episode of our Advent series, we look at Mary's journey after she said yes to God β the part of the story where nothing immediately feels safer, easier, or clearer. You'll see how fear and faith walk together and how God often meets us not with certainty, but through connection and companionship.
In this episode, you'll exploreβ¦
- How fear doesn't mean your faith is failing
- Why Mary sought safe presence instead of isolating herself
- How grief teaches us to walk with fear rather than eliminate it
- What it means to stay connected when you don't know what's ahead
If fear has been whispering louder than peace this season, press play and settle into this reminder β you were never meant to walk the unknown alone. God walks beside you, and you are seen in every step.

If you've ever whispered, "Godβ¦ I don't understand what You're doing," this episode is for you. When grief makes everything feel uncertain and the road forward unclear, faith can start to feel fragile β even when your heart still longs for God.
This Advent series invites you to walk toward Christmas in a different way β through the eyes of Mary. Not as a polished holiday story, but as the journey of a mother learning to trust God when the future made no sense. Each episode(6 total) offers space to reflect, breathe, and prepare your heart without pressure or performance.
In this episode, you'll exploreβ¦
- Why questioning God doesn't mean you've lost your faith
- What Mary's story reveals about trusting God in uncertainty
- How faith can exist even when understanding doesn't

β Teresa, Your Grief Mentor
You made it through Thanksgiving. Whether this was your first holiday without your child or another year navigating memories and emotional weight, I want you to pause long enough to recognize this: you showed up in your grief. Not because you pretended to be okay, and not because you handled every moment smoothly, but because your love for your child is still alive within you β and that love gave you the strength to face what felt impossible.
As we step into December, many grieving moms begin to wrestle with a familiar question: If my child is no longer walking beside me, do I still have purpose? It can feel confusing, heavy, or even painful to imagine the future when the one you love is no longer here to share it. Today, we're exploring why purpose after child loss is not something you figure out or force β and why it may not look anything like you expect.
Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦
- why purpose doesn't begin with a plan, goal, or calling
- what Jesus reveals about hearts that struggle to hear hope
- how Isaiah's encounter with God reframes purpose in grief
- why a willing heart matters more than certainty, confidence, or direction
Purpose is not something you earn or achieve. You don't have to know what's next, feel strong, or perform your way into it. If all you can offer today is a quiet, tear-soaked, honest whisper β "Here I am, Lord" β that is where purpose in grief begins.
Press play and take a breath, friend. God is not asking you to figure out your future. He's simply inviting you to be open to Him right where you are. π

When you're living with child loss, time doesn't erase the painβit reshapes it. Some moments still feel like the very beginning, and others reveal how love, surrender, and God's faithfulness make room for hope. If you've ever wondered whether grief will always feel this heavy, you are not alone in that question.
In today's episode, Teresa and her husband Tony reflect on seven years without their son Andrew walking beside them. Not as experts with answers, but as parents who have been carried by God through shock, questions, identity shifts, and unexpected peace. Their story isn't a step-by-step guide, but a true testimony of how grief and hope can live together.
Listen in as Teresa and Tony help you process your grief through the lens of time and the seven themes that shaped their journey.
The seven themes you'll hear are:
- Shock
- Anger & Hard Questions
- Identity Shaking
- Learning to Breathe Again
- Surrender
- Being Shaped by Truth
- Living With Hope
Wherever you are on this journeyβwhether you're still numb, wrestling with questions, or slowly learning how to live againβthis episode will remind you of something true: your story is still unfolding, God is still present, and hope is still growing. Press play, friend. You are not walking this road alone. π

When the holidays arrive after child loss, the question that rises in your heart isn't "How do I get through Thanksgiving?" It's "How do I carry my child with me into a day they should still be part of?"
Thanksgiving changes after loss. Not because you're doing anything wrong β but because love changed you. And when love changes you, traditions change too. You don't have to pretend you're okay. You don't have to do things the way you always have. And you certainly don't have to hide your child's name to make others comfortable.
When the holidays arrive after child loss, it can feel like everything familiar suddenly carries a different weight. You might find yourself longing for the traditions you once sharedβ¦ yet unsure what to do with them now. Nothing feels the same β but it doesn't all have to feel heavy.
This episode is a soft place to land during Thanksgiving week. We're talking about how to bring your child's love into the traditions you choose to keep .
In this episode, you'll learnβ¦
- why honoring your child begins with giving yourself permission
- how simple, meaningful gestures carry more love than big traditions
- how to create space for loveβnot sadnessβto lead your holiday
- what it looks like to enter Thanksgiving with peace instead of fear
If your heart is aching for a way to include your child this Thanksgiving, this episode will help you breathe again. You're not alone. Jesus is with you in every step, and your child's love is still part of your story.

When Thanksgiving comes around and your heart is still grieving, it can feel like the whole world expects something from you that you don't have to give. Gratitude feels complicated. The empty chair feels louder than the celebration. And you may find yourself wondering how to make it through a holiday that doesn't look anything like it used to.
In today's episode, we walk through a different way of approaching Thanksgiving β one that honors your grief while helping you see Jesus in the places you didn't expect. You'll hear the story behind the very first Thanksgiving declared in America, a story rooted in deep sorrow, and how that truth can steady your heart this year.
Inside this conversation, you'll discoverβ¦
- how grief and gratitude can coexist even when your heart feels fragile
- how shifting your focus helps you notice Jesus right in the middle of your story
- why small moments of thankfulness open the door to God's peace
- one simple practice to help you see His faithfulness as Thanksgiving approaches
If this holiday feels heavy or confusing, you're not doing anything wrong. You're walking a road no mother ever imagined. My prayer is that this episode gives you room to breathe, helps you notice Jesus in your own story, and reminds you that you never walk into a holiday β or a valley β alone. Press play when you're ready.

There are moments in grief when nothing in your world feels steady anymore. Your body feels on high alert, your mind keeps scanning for danger, and your heart feels afraid in ways you can't fully name. If this season has stirred up those feelings of unsafety, you're not alone. Today's conversation speaks directly into that tender, vulnerable place.
You'll hear from two women who understand this depth of grief on both a personal and professional level. Erin Nelsonβwho has endured the loss of her husband, her mother, and her sonβis also an advanced certified trauma practitioner who's spent more than 20 years supporting grieving families. She's joined by Colleen Montague, a licensed marriage and family therapist who works closely with parents and children in the aftermath of loss. Together, they offer a compassionate, grounded perspective on fear, faith, family grief, and why it's so normal to feel unsafe after someone you love dies.
In this episode, you'll learnβ¦
- why grief can make your whole body feel unsafeβand how God gently restores steadiness
- how children, teens, and adults experience grief differently inside the same family
- simple ways to stay grounded when fear pulls you into the past or the future
- why community matters more than ever when grief feels overwhelming
Here are the resources mentioned in today's conversation:
- Book: When Grief Comes Home: A Gentle Guide for Living Through Loss While Supporting Your Child by Erin Nelson & Colleen Montague β available on Amazon: When Grief Comes Home
- Jessica's House (California) β a grief support center for children and families: https://www.jessicashouse.org

Peace Doesn't Mean You're Done Grieving You may have felt it before β that fleeting moment of calm when the tears pause, and suddenly guilt sneaks in. "If I can feel peace, does that mean I'm moving on?"
Friend, that moment isn't proof that you're done grieving. It's evidence that God is still holding you.
Peace doesn't erase the ache. It walks beside it. And when you allow God to meet you right where the sorrow still lives, you'll begin to see that peace and grief can coexist in the same heart.
Inside this episode, you'll discover:
- The truth about what peace really is (and what it's not)
- How to recognize peace as a sign of God's faithfulness, not your forgetting

Some of the hardest parts of grief are the ones no one sees. They're the quiet moments you carry in silence β the dates no one remembers, the chair no one fills, the ache that never really leaves. But what if those hidden moments could become holy ground?

In this episode, you'll discover: * Why God calls the hidden places of your grief holy * How to turn unspoken pain into lament * The meaning behind Psalm 147:3 * Why naming what hurts out loud invites God to heal what's unseen

When your child went to heaven, the world saw one loss β but your heart knows it wasn't just one. It was friendships that faded when people didn't know what to say. It was family relationships that shifted when everyone grieved differently. It was dreams, routines, and the sense of who you were before everything changed.
Grief doesn't stop at the moment of loss β it ripples into every part of life. In this episode, we're uncovering the collateral damage that most grieving moms never talk about β and the tender ways God begins to rebuild what feels beyond repair.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- What the Bible shows us about God's timing when He seems silent in our pain
- Why the hidden losses beneath your child's death matter β and how naming them brings healing
- How to rebuild when faith feels different and relationships no longer fit
- What it means to live restored, not the same, but redeemed

When the world is loud and confusing, even the strongest believer can struggle to know whatβs real and whatβs not. But when youβre grieving your child, that battle becomes even harder. Your mind and heart are already tender, your emotions raw, and every headline, opinion, or social media post can feel like another weight on top of your grief.
Thatβs why you need a filterβa faith-based way to sort through the noise and discern whatβs true, whatβs false, and what you can safely let go.
In this first episode of a 3-part series, Teresa shares how to build a simple FAITH filter to protect your heart and mind after child loss. Youβll learn how to:
- Guard your heart when the worldβs voices feel louder than Godβs
- Recognize what youβre taking in without even realizing it
- Filter what you read, what you hear from others, and what you start to believe about God, your child, and your future
- Apply a practical acronym (FAITH) to test every thought and message you absorb
Friend, discerning truth from lies is hard enough when life is going smoothly. In grief, it can feel nearly impossible. But you donβt have to do it aloneβand God has given us a way forward.
π Listen now to learn how to start building your faith filter today.

Todayβs episode is a little different. Instead of a structured teaching, I want to pause with you for a moment of reflection.
The news of Charlie Kirkβs death has shaken many people, and for grieving moms and dads, it can stir grief in unexpected ways. When someone young, bold, and outspoken is suddenly gone, it reminds us of how fragile life is, and it brings our own losses back to the surface.
If youβve been feeling the weight of recent eventsβor if youβre wondering how to hold both grief and faith togetherβI invite you to listen in. This is a space for us to remember that while darkness is real, it will never overcome the light of Jesus.
What Youβll Take Away from This Episode: * Why national tragedies can stir deep personal grief for parents who have lost a child * How Scripture speaks into the reality of cold hearts in the last days * The difference between the worldβs response to tragedy and Godβs promise of light * A reminder that prayer and closeness to Jesus are what sustain us in seasons of unbearable heaviness

Friend, does your soul feel restless after loss? Maybe your mind wonβt stop racing, your heart never stops aching, and no matter how tired you are, your body doesnβt find rest. I remember feeling that way after Andrew died β like nothing could quiet the storm inside me.

In this episode, weβll talk about:
- Why grief makes your soul feel so thirsty and unsettled
- What W. Phillip Keller, a real-life shepherd, teaches us about βstill watersβ
- The difference between the worldβs quick fixes and the refreshment Jesus offers
- How to let the Good Shepherd restore your soul right where you are
If youβve been desperate for peace, this conversation will remind you β the Shepherd knows exactly where to lead you.

Is God Absent in My Grief? Living with Unanswered Questions After Child Loss Have you ever whispered in the dark, βGod, where are You?β When your child is no longer walking beside you, the silence can feel unbearable. The ache of unanswered questions presses in: Why my child? Why now? Why this way?
In this episode, we step into the raw space of those questions and open Scripture to see how othersβlike Habakkuk, Job, and Davidβwrestled with God in their grief. Youβll hear how God responded to them, and how His timing and presence speak into the silence we face today.
Together weβll explore:
- Why unanswered questions donβt mean unanswered prayers
- How Godβs timing differs from our urgency
- The hope hidden in Habakkukβs cry: βLord, how long?β
- Why waiting on God is not abandonment but love
You donβt have to erase your questions to have faith. God is not absentβHe is working in ways you may not see yet.

206 // Surrendering to the Love That Remains: Holding On While Letting Go After Child Loss
If your child is no longer walking beside you, the word surrender can feel impossible. As grieving moms, our arms were never meant to be empty, and yet we face the heartbreaking reality of placing our children back into Godβs hands when He calls them home.
In todayβs episode, we open Scripture to Hannahβs story in 1 Samuel. She longed for a child, prayed with tears, and when God finally answered, she made a vow to give her son back to Him.
Her story doesnβt erase our grief, but it does show us what it means to lean on God when everything in us wants to hold on tight. Together weβll explore what trust means for Hannahβand what trust means for us as grieving mothers who had to surrender without choice.
In this episode youβll hear: * πΏ Why surrender isnβt about letting go of love, but placing our children into Godβs eternal care * πΏ Hannahβs story of anguish, answered prayer, and ultimate surrender * πΏ What trust meant for Hannahβand what trust means for a grieving mom today * πΏ A simple daily practice to help you take one step of trust at a time
Friend, surrender will never feel easy. But you donβt walk into it alone. The same God who is holding your child is holidng you too.

This weekβs episode flows right out of the Grief Mentor Workshop, and my heart is still so full. One verse rose to the surface again and again, becoming the theme of our time together:
π βI will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done.β β Psalm 118:17
Inside this episode, I share:
- π The power of one simple thought shift β when Godβs Word replaces the lies we repeat to ourselves in grief.
- πΏ How Romans 12:2 shows us that transformation begins with the renewing of our minds, not big dramatic moments.
- π Why truth often needs to be heard on repeat before it takes root (even Peter reminded us in 2 Peter 1:12).
- π The holy moments that happen when grieving hearts come together and cry out to God.
- β¨ Encouragement for your waiting β that God is at work even when you canβt see it.
This is an episode about hope, truth, and learning to live again after child loss. My prayer is that Psalm 118:17 becomes a declaration for you, too: βI will not die, but live to tell what the Lord has done.β
π Scriptures Mentioned:
- Psalm 118:17
- Romans 12:2
- 2 Peter 1:12

Have you said to yourself lately, βIβm just so tiredβ? Grief is exhausting β physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But thereβs a hidden burden that can make it even heavier: carrying everyone elseβs expectations for how you βshouldβ grieve.
In this episode, Iβll help you see why this invisible weight is draining you and what you can do to lay it down. Youβll hear from Rachel, a mom who discovered that setting healthy boundaries wasnβt selfish β it was the key to protecting her peace in grief.
Weβll explore:
- Why grief exhaustion is different from any tiredness youβve felt before
- How other peopleβs opinions about your grief can multiply your fatigue
- Biblical truths that show boundaries are Godβs idea, not just a human coping tool
- How to create space to grieve your way without guilt
Friend, you donβt need permission from anyone else to walk through grief the way God is leading you. When you release the pressure to keep everyone else comfortable, you open the door to healing, rest, and a lighter load.

What If This Could Change Everything? A Grieving Momβs Hope
Youβve felt the ache. The longing for something to shiftβeven just a little. Maybe youβve tried all the things that should help, but nothing touches the heaviness.
If youβve been listening to this podcast, or if youβve spent the week with me inside the Grief Mentor Workshop, then you already knowβsomething is stirring. A deeper question is rising in your spirit:
Could this support actually be for me?
In todayβs episode, I speak to the mom whoβs wondering if she can really take the next step. You'll hear a story from a mom who said yes, honest encouragement for wherever you are in your grief, and a heartfelt invitation to consider what it means to let someone walk with you.
Because sometimes, the smallest step⦠becomes the step that changes everything.
In this episode: * Why support can feel out of reach when youβre grieving * What happens when your pain is witnessed instead of hidden * The truth about whatβs possible when you stop walking alone * A testimony from a grieving mom who found her turning point inside The Grief Roadmap * What it looks like to take one stepβnot toward βfixingβ your grief, but toward healing with Jesus

You didnβt think youβd survive the day your child diedβbut you did. And now you're still here, carrying the unthinkable.
In todayβs episode, Teresa reminds you of a truth thatβs easy to lose sight of in grief: You are stronger than you think. Not because you have it all togetherβ¦ but because God never let go of you.
Inside this episode, youβll hear:
- Why the hardest day is already behind you
- What history and scripture show us about human resilience
- How to stop underestimating the strength youβve already shown
- Why little flickers of hope arenβt betrayalβtheyβre signs of life returning
π Teresa will walk you through the mindset shift grieving moms often missβand how to stop measuring your survival as failure.
Youβre still here for a reason. Letβs talk about what that means.

In this fourth episode of our summer series, Moments That Make You Smile, weβre talking about what it means to see differentlyβto recognize the ways God still shows up in your everyday grief.
Inside this reflection, we explore:
- Why glimpses of heaven are so hard to see at first
- How surrender opens your heart to see what grief tries to block
- What scripture says about eternityβand why that ache inside you is no accident
- How nature, worship, and even silence can become reminders that your child is not gone⦠just ahead of you
π Ask yourself: Are you willing to see it? Because heaven may be closer than you think.

When youβre grieving, you expect the pain. The quiet. The tears. The days that take your breath away.
But what about the things you didnβt expect?
Like the way a single moment can soften the ache. Or how your heart might expand with purpose and love in ways you never imagined. Or the peace that shows up when you least expect it.
This is Part 3 in our summer series, Moments That Make You SmileβA Summer Series for Grieving Moms and todayβs short reflection explores the quiet gifts that grief can uncover. The ones that donβt erase the painβbut remind you God is still near.
Ask yourself: What have I experienced that was unexpected⦠but now I'm so grateful for?
π Iβd love to hear about it. Email me at teresa@thegriefmentor.com.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, βI donβt even know who I am anymoreβ?
The woman you were beforeβthe one who laughed, planned, and lived with purposeβfeels like a stranger now. And when grief has unraveled the person you used to beβ¦ where do you even begin?
In this episode, weβre exploring the three identity shifts grieving moms face:
- Who you were before grief
- Who you are right now
- Who youβre becoming in Christ
πInside this episode:
- Why feeling disconnected from yourself is more than normal
- A scripture that holds you when youβve forgotten who you are
- One question to gently sit with this week as you ask God to help you rebuild
If you feel lost in who you are nowβ¦ youβre not alone. And God is not finished with your story.

Friend, this episode is real and raw. Some weeks, grief doesnβt announce itself. It just settles inβ¦ silently, heavily.
This past week, I hit a wall. Grief crept in through unexpected placesβediting a hard episode, watching a documentary, reliving sacred memories, and sitting in a graduation ceremony at the very place where Andrew once received his diploma.
But God didnβt waste any of it. Through the Holy Spirit, He met me right there in the broken pieces.
πInside this episode:
- The gentle voice of the Holy Spirit in the middle of exhaustion
- What communion reminded me about Jesus, brokenness, and calling

What do you do when forgiveness feels like betrayal? When someoneβs reckless actions shattered your worldβ¦ When the person you canβt forgive is yourselfβ¦
Forgiveness after the death of your child isnβt a quick fix or a clichΓ©βitβs sacred, gut-wrenching work. And in todayβs episode, Teresa shares honestly what it really looks like to walk this road, not because itβs easy, but because your soul is worth it.
π In this two-part teaching, youβll hear:
- How to recognize the voice of shame and distinguish it from the Shepherdβs love
- Why grief distorts memoryβand what to do when guilt wonβt let go
- What it means to surrender the outcome you couldnβt change
- Why forgiveness is not approval, but a choice for your peace
- How to release othersβeven when theyβve never said βIβm sorryβ
- What Scripture says about Godβs justice, boundaries, and finding peace when the person responsible walks free
This isnβt about pretending youβre okay. Itβs about learning how to breathe againβwith Jesus holding every shattered piece of your heart.

You want to believe againβbut you donβt know how. You used to feel close to God, but nowβ¦ He feels so far away. And faith? It doesnβt come easy anymore.
In this tender episode, Teresa gently unpacks what faith really looks like after the loss of your childβand how to move toward God when your heart is shattered. Itβs not about striving harder. Itβs not about doing more. Itβs about surrendering in the silence and letting Him meet you right where you are.
If youβve whispered, βI need more faithβ or wondered, βWhy canβt I feel God anymore?ββthis episode is your invitation to lean in.
π§ Key Takeaways * Why faith after child loss doesnβt look the way you expectβand thatβs okay * The #1 lie grieving moms believe about spiritual strength * The quiet place where real faith begins (hint: itβs not your Bible study routine) * A one-verse practice to help you hear from God when you feel numb * What Scripture really says about feeling far from Godβand the whisper you might be missing

Motherβs Day can feel like a celebration for everyone elseβwhile youβre silently breaking inside. Whether this is your first Motherβs Day without your child or your fifteenth, the ache is real and persistent.
In Episode 175, Teresa offers biblical guidance and deeply personal encouragement for grieving moms who are dreading the approach of Motherβs Day. With honesty, tenderness, and faith, she unpacks three scriptural truths to help you honor your grief, create space for hope, and let God meet you in the pain.
3 Key Takeaways:
π You Donβt Have to Celebrate Youβre allowed to grieve on Motherβs Day. God honors your sorrowβand there is no pressure to perform or pretend. If you have surviving children who want to celebrate you, hold space for them too. You can set boundaries around when and how you gather, but donβt miss the chance to receive their love. Grieving as a family is hard, but connection brings life.
π God Still Calls You Mother Psalm 56:8 reminds us that God keeps track of every tear. Even when others forget, He never stops calling you His beloved daughterβand still sees you as a mother.
π Hope and Grief Can Coexist Psalm 34:18 says the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Your pain doesnβt cancel your faithβhope can rise, even in your tears.
If you need support this Motherβs Day, this episode is your safe space.

Grief after child loss is more than a momentβitβs a world we now live in. And unless youβve walked it, itβs hard to understand the layers that come with it.
In Episode 174, Teresa pulls back the curtain on what grieving parents carry every single day: the mental anguish, the silent triggers, the feeling of living in two worldsβthe one before and the one after.
This isnβt just about sadness. Itβs about the fight for identity, the moments of guilt and loneliness, the fear of forgetting and the ache of remembering.
But there is hope. There is companionship in the suffering. And there is One who walks with you in it all.
3 Key Takeaways:
π The Mind-Battle No One Sees How an unsuspecting word, sight, sound, or memory can create a domino effect in your mind and heart that leads to deep sadnessβand the gentle practice that steadies your thoughts.
π Everyday Triggers You Didnβt See Coming Grocery stores, birthday parties, high school graduationsβmapping yours so they donβt blindside you.
π Hopeβs Open Invitation A single verse that opens the door to restβeven when your soul feels shut down.

In this powerful episode, Teresa explores the critical role of hope in your grief journeyβespecially when you feel like you have nothing left to give.

Sometimes, you donβt need a planβ¦ You just need someone to sit with you in the quiet.
This week, I stepped away from the outline. No script. No formal teaching. Just meβshowing up tired, and grateful. Maybe youβve been there too.
In this unscripted episode, Iβm inviting you into a quiet moment of restβborn out of exhaustion, reflection, and Godβs gentle nearness in the middle of it all.
π I share how to rest when your heart is tired and your soul is overwhelmed. π§ Why you donβt have to fix anything, be strong, or even have the words to pray. πΏ How Godβs presence meets us in stillnessβand why thatβs enough.
If your heart feels heavy and your body is weary from carrying what no mother should have to carry⦠this quiet moment is for you.
Letβs sit together. Letβs rest in the presence of the One who holds every tear.

Have you ever felt like God disappeared just when you needed Him most? When the diagnosis came. When the relationship fell apart. When the betrayal cut deep. When your child loved died.
What do you do when the unexpected shakes your world? When the grief is too much to bear? When hope feels like a faraway memory?
In this powerful episode, we journey through John 20:1β18 and step into the shoes of Mary Magdaleneβa woman shattered by sorrow, yet fiercely faithful. Her world collapsed the moment Jesus diedβ¦ but she didnβt walk away.
Instead, she stayed. And what happened next changed everything.
πΈ Why did Jesus choose Mary as the first to see Him after the resurrection? πΈ What does her story reveal about the way God meets us in grief? πΈ And how can you begin to hear His voice again when your life has gone dark?
This isnβt just a Bible storyβitβs your invitation. To seek Him when it hurts. To stay when itβs easier to run. To listen for His voice when all you can hear is your own sorrow.
And when He calls your name, friendβyouβll know itβs Him.

Are you afraid to hope? Do you believe that moving forward means moving away from your child? That letting go of the pain means letting go of the connection?
Friend, I know the fear of releasing pain. It can feel like the only tangible thing left connecting you to your child. But what if pain isnβt the glue holding your love together?
In todayβs episode, Weβll explore:
β¨ A powerful story from a grief retreat where we witnessed supernatural hope firsthand. β¨ The difference between biblical hope and wishful thinking. β¨ Why pain is NOT the only thing connecting you to your child. β¨ What it means to surrender pain and allow Godβs hope to take its place.
Psalm 27:13-14 reminds us: "Yet I am confident I will see the LORDβs goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD."

Scripture from Todayβs Episode: π βRestore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.β β Psalm 51:12 (NIV)
You are not forgotten, friend. Even in your deepest sorrow, God is near. Letβs walk this road together. π
Have you ever found yourself trapped in the endless cycle of asking βwhyβ? Why did this happen? Why me? Why now? In this episode of The Grief Mentor Podcast, we explore how to shift from our own understanding to trusting in Godβs voice.
What Youβll Learn: β How God still speaks to us today (Matthew 16:15-17) β The trap Satan sets to keep us stuck in our pain (Matthew 16:21-23) β Why surrendering our way leads to true healing (Matthew 16:24-25)
Key Takeaway: Jesus calls us to follow Himβnot by understanding everything, but by trusting in Him and surrendering to His plan. When we do, the βwhyβ loses its power over us, and we find the peace only He can give.

Today we are focusing on self care. The steps you need to put into place to create an environment that will support you in your life, where you are right now.
We are building on the theme of the last two episodes on how to face the New Year with hope by putting in place steps that will lead to restoring those peaceful rhythms, and how to use distractions in a healthy productive way.
Today we are discussing the 4 components of self care that go much deeper than a mani/pedi or a massage. The type of self care that creates a foundation to carry you through those heavy grief days.
So I want you take a deep breath, find a comfy place to absorb this information and allow your body and brain to relax and soak it all in. Then listen again and take some notes on what fits your needs.

What are healthy distractions in grief?
By definition a distraction is something that turns your attention away from something else. Itβs crucial to find healthy distractions to allow for moments of rest and emotional relief.
Distractions can prevent you from moving into a state of emotional exhaustion that can lead to unhealthy behaviors and unstable mental health.
Today were building on what I taught you Tuesday on how to put in place the steps that lead to restoring peaceful rhythms of life.
Letβs define what a healthy distraction is and how to implement them into your grief journey in a positive way.

Restoring rhythms of life is a challenge when life as you know it disappears into the chaos of grief.
Now is a great time to start rebuilding those rhythms. Instead of focusing on resolutions that are so often discussed this time of year. Stay away from the chatter on SM and the grocery store magazine headlines about how to start the new year.
Let's you and me focus on what will gently restore some stability in your life.
Today we are discussing how to start slowly and build back those rhythms one step at a time. I canβt wait to share my plan with you.
What Iβm sharing with you today is exactly what I did to restore my rhythms of life. And this plan can be used regardless of where you are in your grief journey. I call it a reset and I use it still today when live gets out of balance.

Welcome back to day 3 of teaching clips from The Grief Mentor Masterclass. Day 2 was full of great content. If you havenβt watched the replay I encourage you to do so. (Email me @teresa@thegriefmentor.com for the replay)
Iβm sharing a little bit longer clip with you today its about 19 mins. Thereβs much more teaching than what Iβm sharing with you, but this segment will give you something to think about. And just like I shared with the people that were there live....
It has the potential to signficiantly move the needle of your grief journey!
Manganing life after child loss is a battle of the mind. Until you recongize that and use the tools Iβm giving you, you will continue to stay stuck.
And thatβs the hard truth friend.
My biggest desire is to make sure you feel loved. Because the last the thing we feel after our child dies is loved.
Sharing hard truths with you is also needed, and I pray that you feel loved and adored as you are, but also embrace what needs to change.
I hope your ready with pen and paper for todays teaching from the Masterclass.

As we start the new year I want to make you aware of how to take better care of your mind, body and soul. We spend alot of time discussing how to mange your mindset and nourish the brokenness of your heart and soul.
But today I want to teach you, make you aware of, how your body is absorbing your grief. Because listen friend, grief is an all encompassing lifestyle. We just keep going, doing the next thing, often ignoring how our physical bodes are managing the grief inside of us.
- I want to bring some awareness to the forefront of your mind to help you recognize the effect that grief is having on your body.
- We discuss the 5 signs of repressed grief and how to recognize the physical symptoms that are hiding under the surface.
So you wonβt be like me and wake up several years later and wonder who the person is looking at you in the mirror. This is a packed episode friend FULL of great information that you need to know and understand, if you want to face the new year in a healthy way.

Grief is a journey, not a destination. But some moments of that journeyβmoments like the arrival of a new yearβcan feel impossibly heavy, reminding us of the absence of those we love.
For those of us that have lost a child, the turning of the calendar brings not only the hope of new beginnings but also the painful reminder of everything that will never be.
Today, we talk about the depth of this grief, the unique challenges of facing life after child loss, and how there is still hope for the New Year!
You are not alone friend

Friend,
There are no material possessions, no amount of wealth, power, significance or any person that can instill your heart with the kind of hope that will sustain you for the long haul of life without your child by your side.
I pray this Christmas that the darkness that overshadows your hope will disappear into the glorious light of Jesusβs birth.
What does that look like for you?
Go with me on a journey today. I want to take you to a special place. A place where your doubting soul will see hope.

Friend,
We are 10 days away from Christmas eve: How's your peace?
I answer 3 questions today:
- What is peace on earth? Is it really possible??
- How do I get it?
- How do I keep it?
We do a deep dive into the Christmas story from a different perspective. I can't wait to share with you what the Holy Spirit gave me for you.
It's Saturday and that means this is the second week of producing 2 episodes.
What do you think? Is this something you are benefiting from?
For the rest of the month of December Iβm trialing a second episode to see if it is something that is going to be of benefit to you. Do you have the capacity to listen to me twice a week? If so let me know by leaving a review for me on Apple podcast. This is not social media, there are no metrics to measure other than downloads so I need you to help me make this decision.
Leaving a review will be a great way to support the show and let me know if I should continue.
This podcast is a free resource for you but itβs not free for me to produce. If the show is helping you show me how grateful you are by leaving a review. I read everyone and they are treasure to me. Because many of you listen week after week but I donβt know your there.
Light it up with reviews and let me know who is listening.

Friend,
What is joy to a grieving mom and dad?
We are in a really tough season as grieving parents. Grief doesnβt sell very well so you wonβt see that reality on TV commercials or SM adβs.
So that means that we got to stick together. Thats how we make it through this time of year.
Today Iβm giving you a different perspective on joy.
Iβm giving you words to use that will explain how a grieving mom and dad experiences joy in the middle of the worst thing that has happened to you as a parent.
Don't miss this episode becasue you need it friend!
And share it please, so that I can determine if two episodes a week is what you need!!(listen to to get the scoop)

Friend,
Join me for slivers of hope on those hard days. In todayβs episode, Tony and I are sharing how we managed Andrews heaven day this year.
We found a fun way to honor Andrew and serve others all at the same time. Having a plan on those hard days is a must, but knowing how and what to do can be overwhelming.
If you need ideas on what to do to honor your child on their heaven day, or bday, stay tuned as we walk you through how we planned it, and walked it out each step of the way.
Tony and I share how our son's death affected our marriage and what we did to get it back on track. I share some great tips on what to do if you and your partner are struggling to communicate and find a way to grieve together while respecting each other's boundaries.
BTW Iβm trialing something new, I will be releasing a new episode on Saturday am. I'm not committing to two episodes a week, but I am trialing it this week to see how it goes.
Iβm attempting to establish if the need is there and if you will have time and the desire to listen to me twice a week. If your a long time listenner be on the look out for a second podcast release. How many of you listen will help me decide if it's worth my time and effort to produce a second podcast each week.
I'm here for you friend, I know how difficult this journey is and how important it is to have someone whom you trust guide you on the journey.

Friend,
Thanksgiving is in 2 days. Maybe this is the first Thanksgiving without one of your children by your side or your only child by your side.
Maybe its the 2nd, or the 6th like me, or maybe its been longer.
The empty chair at the table never leave us. Theres a place in our heart that longs for what we canβt have this side of heaven.
That never ending longing swells as we watch other families gather and celebrate together because our family has a hole in our hearts, an empty chair at the table.
So today Iβm giving you a template on how to start your day on Thursday.
Join me for a powerful episode today!!
We can do this together!!

Friend,
Today we are going to do some myth busting.
Does this sound familiar?
- Iβm bad, I didn't live for him therefore he is punishing me by letting my child die because I felt like my life was good enough without him..... until it all came crashing down.
"God let My Child Die to Punish Me."This is a common statement I hear often from grieving moms. And today friend I going to show you it is false through the lens of God's word.
If this is you friend, I am going to give you a prespective that you won't want to miss. You will need to grab a pen and a journal to record the statement that will remove all doubt that you are being punished for your child's death.

Hello Friend, Friend in order to grieve well and in a healthy space you need what Iβm teaching you today. Iβm giving you one simple rule that will make the light bulb go off in your head, while your nodding in agreement.
One of the most important aspects to incorporate in your grief journey is the ability to create a space that allows you to be you.
I'm teaching you how to do that today!
Grab a pen and paper because I'm about to teach you a aspect of boundaries that you need to understand in order to create that space.
And stay tuned for an update on the Black Friday sale. Itβs good friend, really good!!

Hello Friend,
Todays topic for the podcast came up several weeks ago during my prayer time with Jesus. The Holy Spirit brought it up again while Tony and I were away for a few days in October.
And!!!!
It came up during the 12 week small group time in the Grief Roadmap.
And!!!
It came up again this past weekend at the While Were Waiting Retreat for bereaved parents.
Friend this is the Holy Spirits gentle nudging that says I want you to talk to my people about this. BTW, did you know you are his people? He wants to do life with you friend. I hope you tune in to hear exactly what he wants you to know!

Hello Friend,
If youβve listened to the podcast for any length of time you know that I encourage you to ask all the questions that you need answered. I believe that our Heavenly Father encourages us to ask those questions. Even the virgin Mary βponderedβ things in her heart. Ponder means to think about something carefully, or to consider something deeply.
I want to introduce a new thought that you may not have considered before.
God also askβs questions of you! I'm going to teach you today that the questions you have and the questions he has leads to a dialogue where hope is found.
I pray as you listen that your eyes are opened to what he has for you today.

Episode discussed during the podcast:
Healing After Loss: A Journey Of Faith And Grief Recovery with Teresa Davis
Hello Friend,
What does fall mean to you?
For those of us whose child is no longer walking beside us, fall means the holidays are coming. Does the thought of the holidays make you want to run and hide. Then today's episode is for you friend.
I'm teaching you how NOT to approach the holidays, and what to do instead. You need this today friend, because the marketing that lasts from October to January is impossible to avoid. Join me today to see what you can do to manage this most difficult time of year for those who grieve.
I recently gathered some stats from my podcast episodes, and this is what I learned.
- 83% of you are filled with fear after the death of your child.
- 80% of you lack the confidence that you're going to make it.
- 83% feel completely overwhelmed.
- 86% long for balance to be restored to their life.
- 87% of you live with guilt surrounding the death of your child.
If you're listening today and you've lost a child. I think it's safe to say that you are experiencing one of these statistics, maybe more than one. Based on my experience, and helping moms grieve the death of their child, you may be experiencing all five.
Now here's the most interesting fact that I learned from my podcast.
- 101% of you want a step-by-step plan.
Dear precious grieving sister! That is why God has put me in front of you, for such a time as this. Come sit with me and see what God has planned for you so you can experience peace in the chaos of our grief In Jesus Name!!

Grieving Mom,
I asked three moms to share their unique story of loss with you, and they said, yes. I've had the privilege to work with grieving moms now for nearly two years. It's a sobering as well as humbling moment, to sit across the screen from a grieving mother. As her words flow, I'm reminded over and over of the fragility of life and the need for a Savior.
There is no greater pain that I have experienced or witnessed, on this earth than the death of a child, regardless of the cause or the age they left this earth. Using the word death in the same sentence with my son's name, even now makes my stomach come up in my throat. (You know that feeling all too well.)
These precious moms gave me permission to share their statements with you and parts of their personal writings. When I asked them, they said yes without hesitation to being vulnerable and opening up their heart to help you see inside the walls of their grief. I personally helped these moms navigate their grief journeys, and I have grown to love and respect their hearts.
Despite their pain. they want to help you. So tune in as I take you on a journey inside the hearts of these precious mothers and their story of loss.

Grieving mom,
What is the number one question we all face after child loss? Did you say it out loud already? Yeah, it's "WHY."
The roar of the "WHY" gets louder and louder. Confusion sets in, and when those questions go unanswered, before you realize it, you've decided you have no real purpose.
You attempt to focus on God's word, but the words sound like noise that have no meaning. Where was God when my child was dying. Runs like a loop in your mind over and over. Does he really love me. Did he love my child. Does he really care about my life? Is God really good.
Friend if this you then today's episode is exactly what you need, "HOPE." And this is why God has put me in your path right now for this moment.

Grieving Mom,
How does the enemy use your grief against you?
Our greatest enemy is an opportunist: A person who exploits circumstances to gain an immediate advantage. The death of your child puts you in immediate danger friend. It creates a vulnerability inside of you that threatens to destroy you.
- If you've ever entertained doubt about your creator, then the death of your child will take you down a path of confirming that belief.
- If you've ever doubted the goodness of God, then the death of your child will take you down a path of confirming that belief.
- If you've ever wondered if God is real, then the death of your child will take you down a path of confirming that belief.
Friend today is an urgent message that came from the heart of God, and I can't wait to share it with you. In order to survive the death of your child, you must know and understand the battle that is waging inside your heart and mind is spiritual.
Whether, you know it or not friend, you are in a spiritual battle. God has brought you here today to fill your heart with hope, and to open your eyes to what is unseen so that you will be able to fight. And!!! Win!!! Because greater is he, that is in you than he that is in the world.

Sibling Grief/ The Forgotten Griever with Bethan Sullivan
Grieving Mom,
How do I find purpose in my life?
Have you asked this question?
When I'm sitting face to face with a grieving mom and I asked her to share her number one struggle with me, I often hear: "I don't know how to live without my child." "I don't see purpose for my life anymore." "They are the reason I live, and now I don't have a reason to live anymore."
Today, I'm walking you through the four steps you need to find your purpose again inside the pain of child loss.
Is there someone to blame for the death of your child? If you answered yes then you will want to stay to the end. I will help you see vengeance through a different set of eyes.

Hello Grieving Mom,
What emotions have you experienced in your grief journey? I'm going to share one of mine with you today. I was angry.
Most of the first year after Andrew's death I was angry. Sound familiar? And then I reached a place of what I like to call, stubborn surrender. My anger moved from being angry, to realizing I had absolutely no control over what had happened to me. And that led to a feeling of desperation.
Why don't you answer me? Have you asked that question? Do you feel as if your prayers are unheard, unseen and matter to no one. Then you want to listen to today's episode? I'm sharing with you four steps you need to take to get the answers to your prayers.

I can't wait to see what God will do with your Yes!
Why?
When your child dies the question that we all face is why? It is by far the number one question that child loss brings. Then in your own mind you start to process that why, and the things you come up with is as individual as your grief. Who is your finger pointing at today? Is it yourself? Is it someone else? Is it God? Is it your child? Maybe you don't even know who's to blame. But your heart seeks to make sense of it all, and you're exhausted from it. It can keep you in a place of despair that never gets resolved. I hope and pray that you walk away today with a new set of eyes.

I don't know who I am anymore.
Have you said that to yourself since your child died? So much of our identity is interlaced with the people we love. Especially a human that was brought into the world and created out of love for another to start a family and grow together. The dreams that form in anticipation of the baby arriving, watching the stages of life unfold, holding their hands, then walking beside them through life make life worth living.
Then one day life changes. The dream fades. And we're left with the pieces.
Don't go anywhere today friend, stick with me because I want to help you rebuild the foundation of your identity.

We've been spending time on some deep subjects here on the podcast. So today, we're going to lighten it up a bit and spend some time talking about how to care for yourself, when that's the last thing on your mind?
When your child dies it takes over your thoughts. The structure and routine disappear from your life and suddenly you're in survival mode. And living every day in that mindset takes its toll. Let's start the conversation today with this question.
How did you show yourself compassion today?
We cover six tips on how to manage life after child loss that lends to adding back that structure and balancethat our minds and our bodies and our brains crave after devastating loss.

Do you understand what is happening around you in the spiritual world, as you grieve?
As believers we have a seal written on our foreheads and a target on our backs. If you listenned to the "3 Habits of Grief That Lead To Exhaustion", you heard the story of job. And it may not be the version of job that you've been exposed to before.
In that episode, you learned the first place that Satan went when he wanted to crush job, was straight to his children. Make no mistake about it spiritual warfare is a component of grieving the death of your child.
Today, I'm going to teach you. How to armor up for the battle. What each piece of the armor of God is, how to use it in your battle against authorities and powers in the unseen world, and against evil spirits in heavenly places. Friend! It is time to armor up.

What is a habit? Webster says it's a regular tendency or practice. It's any regular repeated behavior.
Why is that important for you? Because what you do in your daily life, that repeats itself over and over, allows the brain to make your actions automatic, this is also true for your thoughts. The repeated actions and or thoughts create a pathway in your brain that runs without awareness.
This is important for you if....
you have developed some habits that are not producing the results you would like in managing your grief.
It takes awareness to create a new pathway. God says how a man thinks in his heart becomes who he is. Proverbs 23:7.
Three habits that lead to exhaustion in grief:
- Living Tomorrow Today
- Focusing On What Your Child Is Missing In This Life After Their Death
- Believing God Allowed Your Child To Die As A Test or Punishment
Listen and find out what to do instead.

The first year without your child has come and gone. All the dreaded first's lurk about in the darkness, sending unspoken threats, that cause anxiety and fear as they approach, telling you, you won't survive it.
But here you are.
You did survive it.
And you're wondering where do I go from here? Surviving the first year seemed so far in the distance after your child's death, because you were climbing a mountain every day, reliving it over and over. And the thought of still being alive in 352 days never crossed your mind. Or maybe it did.
Today I teach you what it takes to learn to live again after the first year of your child's death.

When your child dies yesterday will always feel better than tomorrow. Life after child loss will never be the same and you don't have to worry about hearing any quippy comments here on my podcast to "practive" gratitude or "choose" joy.
Gratitude is something you experience and joy comes when your hearts connect. But what about the inbetween.
How do you face tomorrow when yesterday was better? And what about confidence that your going to survive, when does that come?
Today we cover 3 points that must be part of your grief journey for you to face tomorrow when yesterday was better with confidence.

He encouraged and blessed us by his kind affirming words. Not once, not twice, but every time we had the privilege to speak to him.
When I heard the news this past week. My heart sank for his precious wife and family. But I must say that my heart also smiled that he heard the words he's preached about his whole life. Well done my good and faithful servant! Welcome home.
We will miss you, Tom. What a privilege to have walked this earth knowing you.
As the words of Casting Crowns comforts our hearts, Tom has laid his crowns at the feet of Jesus, as he joined with all of heaven in the everlasting song, Holy Holy Holy is the lamb upon the throne.
As you listen today take to heart Tom's wisdom and love of people. What he has to say about suffering, grief, lament and God's goodness.
Join me as we listen and honor a legacy of a life well lived.

We live in an instant society, instant access, instant oatmeal, instant results. When we sit down to eat at a restaurant, if the waitress isn't there immediately to take our order, or if we have to wait more than 10 or 15 minutes for our food to arrive, we start asking, "What's taking so long."

Elijah and the widow of Zarepath has much to teach you about your grief!
- What is your version of enough?
We learn from Elijahs journey that depending on God for our next step isnt always easy, but it is in his provision where we find rest for our weary souls. Elijah existence rested completely on God's provision.
- The widow of Zarepath.
What does she have to teach us? The cost was much more than she was willing to give, yet she was obedient. Where does that kind of stenght come from. Not from human hands, thats for sure.
- Life through the eyes of the widow.
God works in ways we couldn't possibly understand for our good. He takes our circumstances that are not good and turns them into something that will bring good from it. See

Boundaries in Grief: How to be Your Own Best Advocate
We are six days away from Easter.
What does Easter mean to you? Let me ask that another way, what did Easter mean to you before your child left this earth? And what does Easter mean to you now after your child left this earth. Because that is the way we walk on this path of child loss, life is divided, into before and after. Nothing is the same as it used to be, and friend, we need something that we can sink our teeth into, so to speak. To have the strength to face tomorrow. How do we get out of bed in the morning to face the world without our child in it?
My hope and prayer is that you walk away today with a reason to get out of bed.
Today we learn what it takes to live again after the death of our child. I pray you stick around to find out, because you will never see Easter the same again after todays episode!

Today we focus on what happened in heaven the day your child died. It was a tough episode to write, not because of the content but becasue of the content. That may not make sense to you, but wow, I was streched.
I have so much to say about heaven becasue God has used it my journey to teach me, but putting into a message about your child, now that was a challenge. Because!! I want to get every detail correct.
I'm not here to misrepresent God's word to make it say what I want it to say or to confuse you or plant ideas in your head that is not from God.
And that my friend is a heavy weight.
Im not a theologian, Im just God's girl that he took on a journey through his word and taught me things that were great, unsearchable things, beyond my understanding that I did not know. Things he spoke to me in my spirit that now he is calling me to comfort you with.
You get 3 facts today that I pray will change your mindset about the day your child died. I pray that the Holy Spirit takes you on an unbeliviabe journey that you will never forget or be the same.

Are You Wearing The Right Shoes To Bring You Peace?
Shoes are of the last thing we put on before we walk out the door. Most of us have more than one type of shoe, work shoes, walking shoes, maybe you have running shoes. There's water shoes and fancy shoes, and comfortable shoes, and on and on.
We wear the type of shoes that we need for the task of the day. Well, what does that have to do with grief? Our feet is what God gave us to take us where we want to go, and the type of shoes we wear prepares us for the journey.
My questions are:
- Where do you want to go in your grief journey?
- And how have you prepared your feet to take you there?
We dip our toe into Spiritual Warfare today, with a side note on what our kids are able to see and not see from heaven's view. If you need some clarity on the Armor of God here is a document that can help. ARMOR OF GOD
I'm considering doing a series on spiritrul warfare regarding each piece of the armor, if this is something that interest you, send me an email or a DM and let me know.

What Does Honoring Your Child's Memory Look Like?
Points covered on today's podcast:
-
As moms and dads that have faced the death of our child we get, what many do not. That life is not forever.
-
We know that, but just like the old saying "knowing the stove is hot and experiencing the stove is hot", is two very different things.
-
The only control we have in this journey of grief, is how we respond to it.

This week is Grief Tips with The Grief Mentor:
We all have people in our life with different levels of intimacy. We gauge our time and effort in the relationship based on the commitment that we've made to each other. Relationships can get a bit tricky when grief comes to your door. Often when someone in your life don't get what they want from you, it may turn to shaming to manipulate you, to get what they want.
Today, I'm going to teach you:
- How to recognize shaming behaviour.
- How to stop it with 3 simple steps.
Grief brings a level of vulnerability that puts you in a place where you may lose your ability to think and perform on a day-to-day basis with clarity. This puts you in the position to be taken advantage of, and thats not a good thing. Put these 3 simple steps in place to NIP IT IN THE BUD!

Q & A with The Grief Mentor
Last week on the podcast I shared an intimate moment between me and The Holy Spirit where I heard the voice of God, not audibly, but in my spirit. It was a special moment that I will never forget because he comforted me and turned a dreadful experience into an unexplainable peace. I'll include the link to that podcast below.
Today I cover 4 points regarding hearing the voice of God.
- Does God speak audibly?
- If God does not speak audibly then how do we hear his voice?
- If God's voice is just a thought how do we know it's from him?
- Why is God's voice clear at times and silent at others?
Join me as I answer these questions and teach you how to hear the voice of God in your life and why silence is not what you think it is.

*BONUS EPISODE
This is Thursday, yes, I know I don't normally release a podcast on Thursdays. However, this is a bonus episode that I can't wait to share with you. I have a guest today and Tony, my husband assists me in interviewing him.
We discuss grief, lament, God's goodness, and the pain that we suffer here on this earth. This episode is special to me because Tom is involved in a ministry in India and he shares some information with us on how to support him but also how what he's doing is changing lives in miraculous ways. They are caring for orphaned neglected children and training up ministers in the word of God. The effect this is having is not measurable in human terms. Changing lives one generation at a time.
Today, my guest is Tom Franklin, and Tom and Charlotte Franklin have been working for 25 years in India and Nepal. And the ministry is called New Life Christian Missions.
Contact Tom per his post office box and or email. It is to dangerous to have a website due to the laws where they are serving.

Have you wondered Why Pray?
While working with a client recently I was asked Why pray? She was a grieving mom, broken hearted struggling to see God in her Grief. Living without her child didnβt make sense to her. Why would God let her child die, and if this was all part of his plan then why pray anyway?
I answer that question today. If this is you, stick me as we move through this most difficult question as we face the death of our children.

Grief Tip Week With The Grief Mentor
What's your biggest hurdle of grief? What's the one thing you struggle with the most? It can be difficult to pick one, but to find peace in the chaos, we work step by step.
One thing those of us that grieve all have in common, is facing those special days and holidays and what to do about it. And that's the step that we're going to focus on today. I know you don't want to hear this. But Thanksgiving is five weeks away, and Christmas is in nine weeks. To get through this time of year, you need a plan.
Not having a plan going into the holidays when your grieving is like driving your car without headlights in the dark. Stop wasting time and create a plan with The Grief Mentor to make this season managable. The longer you put if off the more overwhelmed you will feel. If this is the first holiday season or if its the second or third, let me help you take away the dread and create a plan. When you learn to live in the tension of what was and what is it will bring rays of hope into the darkness.

It's October friend, and you know what that means, the holidays are right in front of us. For those of us who grieve, we understand that seasons bring layers of grief. Starting from now all the way to the end of the year, for those who grieve, it's a triggering season. Often during these times, we reach out to things for comfort that are not so healthy.
My guest today is a functional nutrition coach. She's going to share with us how to manage food during our grief. We're going to talk briefly on the difference between functional medicine and mainstream medicine and a new area of research, epigenetics.
If you've been struggling with conventional nutrition plans, that's one size fits all that separates nutrition from the rest of our bodies, as if nutrition exists by itself, outside of the mind, body, and spirit, you are going to want to listen to this episode. My guest is Michelle Gentile.

Do you want to make a difference in child sex trafficking? Have you seen or heard of the movie "Sound Of Freedom?" I want to open your eyes to the life of a child in Romania. The truth is guys, we can't change the whole world, but we can change the life of one, and that starts with one generation at a time. And today my guest is Rachel Ross.
Rachel Ross is the founder of Forget Me Not Ministries. She's a graduate of Lincoln Christian College, and she prayed for an opportunity to do God's work in Romania since she was at the young age of 13 when she was living in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Little did she know that God would not only answer that prayer, but would bless her beyond belief by the lives of the abandoned and abused children that she would care for in Romania and their families and those who serve faithfully serve alongside her as well.

Today is Episode 3 of the Grief Round Table Miniseries.
The topic today is forgiveness. If someone you love died at the hands of another or youβve struggled to forgive yourself or someone you love for the death of your loved one, this episode will bring to the surface the steps needed to forgive and shine the light on the freedom that forgiveness brings to your life.
Each guest shares their personal struggle of forgiveness. Through their vulnerablity you will see that grief is hard and the circumstances surrouding their loved ones death could have robbed them and their families of the peace needed to face life after death. They are overcomers of what the enemy meant to kill, steal and destroy.
Forgivness is an act of self care, while this may be a new concept for you I encourage you to consider the cost of not forgiving to your mental and physical health.
Learning to be your own best advocate is key to surviving grief. I want to help you become an advocate for yourself, but here's the thing, while grieving your ability to think clearly is skewed, much less know and understand what your needs are. In the Boundaries In Grief module, I will teach you how to be your own best advocate as this is the key to restoring peace in the chaos.

Joy and grief are antonyms. So why am I doing a show centered around Joy, on a podcast for those who grieve? Good question! I avoided this topic from the get go. Why? Because nothing is more offensive to a grieving heart then a shallow glib comment like "choose joy." First and foremost if that's all someone can muster up to say to someone who is grieving it's better not spoken at all.
Tammy White Hurst is an author, blogger, and full time speaker. I choose her to talk about Joy today and she said Yes!
This is not a show on how to grin and bear it, fake it til you make it or give a false sense to everyone that all is well with your soul when inside your breaking into a million pieces.
That is not our purpose here.
I know that if your listening to my podcast its because your hurting. So please donβt tune us out. Our purpose is to give you a new perspective of Joy. Not happiness, happiness is a feeling, its situational there is a difference.
We are going to talk about the kind of joy that is not explainable in human terms.

This episode is for all who didnβt have a role model of a mother in their life. It speaks to the hurt and grief that grows when your mom didnβt meet your needs when you needed her the most. Phyllis Mantelli, Author of Unmothered- Life With a Mom Who Couldnβt Love Me is my guest.
Phylis describes the loss of her childhood and the grief that followed her into her adult life. But the story doesn't end there. Phylis shows us it is possible to love those who caused us harm or left us in dangerously vulnerable circumstances. She describes feeling a prescence with her that she didn't understand until she was an adult and a mom herself.
It's a story of redemption and breaking generational dysfunction. It's a story of forgiveness that is only possible through the eyes of the Father.

Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith brings her expertise today to teach us how to rest. βThe result of missing out on the rest we need is high achieving, high producing chronically tired burned out individualsβ says Dr. Saundra. Spoiler alert, sleep is not rest.
I was desperate for relief from the exhaustion of grief. I stumbled on a podcast where Dr. Suandra was being interviewed about her book Sacred Rest. I read it cover and to cover.
Our bodies require 7 different types of rest that we need to be healthy funtioning individuals. On her website she has a quiz that will allow you to see which areas of rest that are deficient in your life. Visit restquiz.com to take the quiz.
She understands grief as she recently lost her Father, unexpectedly. Her advice is full of wisdom and I can't wait for you to listen.
My favorite quote from today's episode "we rest at the level of our trust."

If this episode touches your heart and helps you in any way, would you leave a review? I would be most appreciative.
This episode speaks to all the things that hover over us after we lose someone we love or a way of life that is no longer the same. We discuss realistic expectations, and how to ask for help. It's a vulnerable time and our emotions make it difficult to focus and make decisions. It's ok to say NO! It's ok to set boundaries and be good to yourself. We talk about exit strategies, how to manage the emotions and know when to take a break. How to handle decorations and traditions and ways to serve even when your heart is broken. I share with you examples of what to do to bring your loved one into the future with you. If this episode touches your heart and helps you in any way, would you leave a review? I would be most appreciative.

Rachel Faulkner Brown, Author, Speaker and Podcaster shares her story of loss with us today. Rachel was a widow at the young age of 24 and again just 7 years later. She candidly shares her most vulenerable moments. Rachel teaches us what it means to be emotionally healthy and how being a performer of her faith and placing a spirtual bandaid on her grief left her open for a path of unforgiveness. She did find love again but this time what she and her husband had to face was something she was not familiar with and brought her grief fast and furious to the surface. She wants us to learn from what she could have done better. Rachels spiritual walk is inspiring and I can't wait for you to hear how God has paved the way for her to use her pain for purpose like only He can do.

Today we continue our conversation with George Ross about why God allows bad things to happen to good people. We are going to take a trip through the book of Job, and break down what that big churchy word "sovereignty" means in terms anyone can understand. We discuss how to discern when we are being tested and when God allows punishment, and finish up discussing if God really listens, when we pray.
Why Bad Things Happen to Good People.
When I began to pray about who to ask for this episode, Β I was looking for someone that has a heart for the broken hearted.Β
Someone who could convey the heart of God in a way that could be understood by everyone.
Someone who could reflect the God of compassion who cares deeply about our sorrows and to help us to understand the mystery of Godβs Sovereignty,Β with the help of the Holy Spirit I found the right person.
My Guest Today Is George Ross.He and Sue Linn have been married and in ministry together for 44 years.Β
George and his family moved from Las Vegas, Nevada in March of 1999 to begin serving at Northside Christian Church.
He has served there for the past 24 years. His current role is Teaching Pastor.
He is passionate about his daughterβ and sonβs ministries, his grandchildren, the local pastors, and helping the βFinishing Wellβ crowd at Northside to finish well.Β
Bonus Part 1 -Family Reunion in the Joseph series. When I was preparing for these episodes I was trying to figure out a way to get them all in less than 30 minutes. And it just is not possible guys.
I am here to teach the word of God and I'm excited about it. This bonus section will be divided into three parts
Joseph's family comes to town looking for food. We see the dreams come true that Joseph had that made his brothers hate him and plot to kill him. The brother's don't recognize Joseph, but oh, does he recognize them. The story is fascinating! And applicable to our grief journeys. Joseph for the first time in all his troubles wept when he saw his family. His family roots were deep and he had been deeply wounded by their betrayal.
I've spent a considerable amount of time preparing for these episodes. God showed me things in scripture and I cannot wait to share 'em with you.
Many of you know that I've written a devotion book, Finding Hope and Healing in the Midst of Grief is a 30 day devotional with two bonus devotions. One from my daughter, Sarah, from the perspective of the grieving sibling. Then one from our daughter-in-law Erica, the grieving spouse. Very rich material there from these girls. And I can't wait to have you read it. However, I would love for you guys to write a review.
You can write a review on Amazon. If you go to my website www.thegriefmentor.com/shop, you can access the link to Amazon. There's also some other things for sale. There's a digital copy of the book as well as my story that I wrote early in my journey.
What I've discovered is that so many of you have said I'd rather have a book that I can hold in my hands. I'm the same way I get it. So that is available there. If you would please write a view for me on Amazon, I would be so grateful to you so that others can see how it's affected your life.

Joseph's time in prison ends. But not for 2 long years. He interpreted dreams for Pharaoh's cup bearer and baker. His interpretation was correct, one died, one lived. The cupbearer lived and was restored to chief cupbearer but he failed to honor Joseph by reporting to Pharaoh what happened in prison. Until one unexpected day, Pharaoh had a dream. God's timing becomes a reality in Joseph's life. Are you waiting for God to bring a harvest from your weeping and sorrow? Listen in as we gain strength for our journey from Joseph's life.

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13 NIV
Welcome back to the Joseph series, Feeling Forsaken; Time In Prison, Part 3 or 4. There's a thought provoking question in the middle of the episode, that I want you to take some time and think about. Do you believe God is going to bring a harvest from your brokenness, beauty from your ashes, a crown of righteousness, a joyous blessing instead of mourning? I want you to ponder it in your heart. I want you to pray about it. I want you to talk to God about it. Tell him what your fear is. Tell him what keeps you awake at night. If you don't believe he's capable of bringing those promises into your life. Tell him! Then ask him to help you believe. Those promises come from Psalm chapter 126: 5-6 and Isaiah 61:3. Open your Bible and read them. If you don't have a Bible, download the YouVersion Bible app. It's free. I use it all the time. Read the verses and then pray them back to God, asking Him to bring about those promises in your life.
I would love to hear from you and your thoughts about the question. And if you're willing. Share your answer with me. My email is teresa@thegriefmentor.com. You can email me directly or go to my website and contact me from there. Today, we're going to spend a few moments with Joseph's story to see how it relates to our grief journeys. What an incredible rollercoaster of event he experiences. This is a four-part series. As I mentioned in the beginning, in the next episode, we're going to see how God uses his time in prison, it's titled the Dreamer Revealed. I've added three bonus episodes titled the Family Reunion. I only planned guys to make it one episode, but God had another plan. You won't want to miss these bonus episodes as it all comes full circle in Joseph's life. The family shows up in need and they have no idea who Joseph is but Joseph knows exactly who they are. Listen in as his life takes another unexpected turn.

Welcome back to the show. Guys. Today's episode is titled Is Heaven Real, and I can't wait to share it with you. If you have been crushed by life, and you're not sure if there's anything past the physical part of what we can see in the here and now, this episode is for you. We mentioned two authors during the episode. I want to give you that information, one is Lee Strobel, he's written the Case for Christ and the Case for Heaven. His whole career was an investigative journalist. He decided to research the biblical claims about Jesus because his wife became a Christian. His story is incredible because he was not a happy man, when his wife became a Christian. He wasn't planning on that when they got married, but because of that, he began to do some research. Prompted by his investigation, he became a Christian at the age of 29. Lee Strobel is a detailed oriented person who will share exactly how he came to his conclusions. The second author that I mentioned is John Burke. He is a New York times bestselling author of Imagine Heaven. That's the book that I referenced today and it's based on near-death experiences. I have read that book as well as the Case for Heaven, and I was intrigued so much by them. That is where this episode was born from. He also authored No Perfect People Allowed, Soul Revolution and Unshockable Love. As an international speaker, he has been to 20 different countries teaching on leadership and spiritual growth. He started out his investigation as an agnostic. Through that investigation he became a believer in Christ. He is an engineer and has the mind of a scientist. So for him, he had to prove that Jesus and God and Heaven all existed through the lens of science. If that's how your mind works, this book is for you. I will share both of those books and their links in the show notes. And also guys, I have written a book called Finding Hope and Healing in the Midst of Grief. It is based on my spiritual journey after the death of my son, Andrew. It's written in the form of a devotion book because I found my answers in the word of God. I will take you on the spiritual journey that I was taken on to be able to understand and get answers to my questions. I will show you what I learned through the eyes of grief. My guest is Brian Combs. And , I can't wait for you to hear what he has to say.

Today we are going to learn about Josephβs time in Potipharβs house. This is part 2 of a 4 part series on the Life of Joseph. Part 1 is Unexpected Disappointments. If you have not listened to that yet go back and take a listen its episode #9, its only 20 mins. It will set the stage for todays episode. If you grew up listening to the story of Joseph and the coat of many colors, you might recognize this story. However, God gave me a whole new view through the eyes of grief. And Im sharing that view with you. The lens from which we view life changes everything. In todayβs episode we see Josephβs identity being threatened. He was a living a life he never imagined he would be living. Those of us who have suffered loss have much in common with Joseph. He must have felt completely invisible to the God of his dreams. Letβs listen in as the story unfolds. The story of Joseph's life can be found here: Genesis 37-50.

In this episode I discuss a pivotal turn in my grief journey. This one step, though it came months after our loss, helped me go from despair to being able to consider living my life without my son Andrew. I resisted it, and my heels were dug in. It wasn't until I took this step that I was able to see I had a life to live. The Grief Mentor exists to restore hope, promote healing and equip grieving souls for life after loss. I will illuminate God's word through the eyes of grief and provide interviews that speak healing into the mind, body and spirit of the broken hearted. The Grief Survival Guide was created to give you simple steps to get you started in the right direction on your grief journey. When your life gets turned upside down you need direction. There is also a Spotify playlist available that I created, Teresa's Grief Worship. I personally picked these songs because they mean something me. As I share more of my journey with you it will become clear why we need to have a way to worship in midst of our grief. These resources are available at www.thegriefmentor.com.
