• #238// God, I Don't Know How to Keep Going: Finding Courage to Take the Next Step
    Dec 13 2025

    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 — 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 — not with certainty or confidence, but with quiet obedience — 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 discover…

    • How to keep walking when the future feels unclear

    • Why obedience doesn't require confidence or understanding

    • What quiet courage really looks like in grief

    • How faith grows when all you have is willingness

    If you feel tired, lost, or unsure how to take the next step, this gentle conversation will remind you that you do not walk alone. God sees every step you take — and He walks each one with you. Press play and let your heart rest in that truth today.

  • #237// God, I'm Afraid of What's Ahead: Surviving the Unknown in Grief
    Dec 9 2025

    If the future feels heavy and unpredictable this season — if holiday gatherings bring questions instead of comfort — 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 — 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 explore…

    • 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 — you were never meant to walk the unknown alone. God walks beside you, and you are seen in every step.

  • #236// God, I Don't Understand: Trusting God When Nothing Makes Sense
    Dec 6 2025

    If you've ever whispered, "God… 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 — even when your heart still longs for God.

    This Advent series invites you to walk toward Christmas in a different way — 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 explore…

    • 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

    • Why Advent begins with surrender, not celebration

    If your heart is tired of trying to understand everything on your own, press play and join me for this first quiet step of Advent. You are not walking this road alone — God meets you gently in the questions.

  • #235// Do I Still Have Purpose? Why It's Not What You Think
    Dec 2 2025

    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 — 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 — and why it may not look anything like you expect.

    Inside this conversation, you'll discover…

    • 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 — "Here I am, Lord" — 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. 💛

  • #234// Does Grief Get Easier? — What Every Grieving Mom Really Wants to Know
    Nov 30 2025

    When you're living with child loss, time doesn't erase the pain—it 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 journey—whether you're still numb, wrestling with questions, or slowly learning how to live again—this 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. 💛

  • #233// Honoring Your Child This Thanksgiving Starts Here — 3 Simple Steps
    Nov 25 2025

    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 — 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 shared…
    yet unsure what to do with them now.
    Nothing feels the same — 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 learn…

    • why honoring your child begins with giving yourself permission

    • how simple, meaningful gestures carry more love than big traditions

    • how to create space for love—not sadness—to 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.

  • # 232 // Grieving This Thanksgiving? 3 Ways to See Jesus in Your Story
    Nov 22 2025

    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 — 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 discover…

    • 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 — or a valley — alone. Press play when you're ready.

  • # 231// When Grief Feels Unsafe — 5 Truths to Help You and Those You Love Through This Season
    Nov 18 2025

    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 Nelson—who has endured the loss of her husband, her mother, and her son—is 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 learn…

    • why grief can make your whole body feel unsafe—and 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 — available on Amazon: When Grief Comes Home
    • Jessica's House (California) — a grief support center for children and families: https://www.jessicashouse.org

    • NACG (National Alliance for Children's Grief) — search for a grief program near you by entering your ZIP code: https://nacg.org

    • The Dougy Center — the first grief center for children in the U.S., offering nationwide resources: https://www.dougy.org

    As you listen, my prayer is that your heart feels met, seen, and steadied. God is not distant from your fear—He's already holding you in it. When you're ready, press play and let this conversation remind you that you don't have to walk through this season alone.
