The Grief Mentor | Life After Child Loss, Hope and Healing For Grieving Moms, Bereavement, Christian Grief Support

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. 💛 Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself.

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 story—the resurrection—and 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 learn… what the resurrection really changed—and 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. Press play when you're ready, friend.   💛 Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself.

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 resurrection—the 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 despair—it 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.                 💛 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 you… 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 painful—it 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 death—and 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 discover… What it really means that Jesus chose death—and 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. 💛 Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself.

There is a moment seared into the memory of every grieving mom—the 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 discover… 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.    💛 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 is—an 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.   💛 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 again—not 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 discover… 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 If you've been afraid to hope again because it feels like moving away from your child, this conversation will remind you that hope is not abandoning love—it is the anchor that allows you to carry that love forward.

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 behind—that 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 discover… 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 alone—and 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.  💛 Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself.

💛 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. Book a one-on-one Grief Mentor Session here. 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 — 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 — 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 — 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.   💛 Stop Fighting the Battle Alone Friend, you were never meant to carry this mountain by yourself.

he word surrender is one of the hardest words for a grieving mom to even consider. To your heart, surrender feels heavy—weighted 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 discover… 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.   ✨ YOUR INVITATION: THE GRIEF ROADMAP ✨   The Grief Roadmap isn't just a course—it 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.

"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.

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 — 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 — not effort — is what actually restores strength. In this episode, you'll learn… 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. ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

"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 — 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" — and how God's comfort meets you right there. Inside this conversation, you'll discover… 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 — it strengthens you to carry it differently. You are not dishonoring your child by stepping toward peace.     ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

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 retreating—whether 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.   ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — 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 behind—it requires a new way of walking that might feel a little risky at first. Inside this conversation, you'll discover… 🤍 You'll hear about the "silent coping mechanism" you likely don't even realize you're using—and why it's blocking the very peace you're praying for. 🤍 You'll learn why "knowing the truth" isn't the same as "living the truth" and the one thing required to bridge that gap. 🤍 You'll discover the "hidden cost" of taking a step forward and why your heart perceives this move as a high-risk gamble. 🤍 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.   ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — 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 road—or even a year—yet 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.

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 faith—especially after a loss that has turned your world upside down. In this episode, we'll explore together… Why faith can feel harder to hold after child loss—even 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 realize—even in the silence. Press play, friend. Let's sit with this together. ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

You don't wake up one day and decide you're a different person. It happens slowly — 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," —  you're not alone. In this episode, we talk about the disorienting identity shift that often comes after child loss — 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 — 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 — 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 — no longer who you were, but unsure of who you're becoming — this episode is for you. ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

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 — 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 — 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.   📘 THE GRIEF ROADMAP — WAITLIST OPEN If you're longing for ongoing support, community, and a more structured path through grief, the Grief Roadmap waitlist is open now.
