Grief after child loss is more than a moment—it’s a world we now live in. And unless you’ve walked it, it’s 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 worlds—the one before and the one after.

This isn’t just about sadness. It’s 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:

👉 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 sadness—and the gentle practice that steadies your thoughts.

👉 Everyday Triggers You Didn’t See Coming Grocery stores, birthday parties, high school graduations—mapping yours so they don’t blindside you.

👉 Hope’s Open Invitation A single verse that opens the door to rest—even when your soul feels shut down.
