Twenty Seven Good

05 - When Life Feels Heavy


Listen Later

Episode Summary

In this episode of 27 Good, Amy and Patty sit with the weight of a heavy week. What began as a new-year conversation shifts into honest reflection after a tragic loss in their community.

They talk about navigating grief as parents, teachers, and friends, how children process loss differently than adults, and what it looks like to keep faith when answers feel out of reach. Through stories of community support, scripture, and quiet presence, they reflect on how God shows up not by fixing the pain, but by being near in it.

This episode is a reminder that goodness can still be found, even in the valley, and that sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is simply sit, love, and stay.

Referenced scripture:
 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
