#176 // What I Need You to Know: Expressing Needs and Setting Boundaries After Child Loss


Listen Later

Grief doesn’t just impact your heart—it touches every relationship you have. And when you’ve lost a child, the need to protect your peace becomes essential.

In today’s episode, Teresa shares the truth about setting boundaries after child loss—from managing your closest relationships to protecting yourself from painful comments on the outside. You’ll learn why boundaries are sacred, how to express what you need, and how faith-filled clarity can change your healing journey.

This isn’t about shutting people out. It’s about honoring your grief and letting others know how to love you well.

3 Key Takeaways:

👉 What Boundaries Actually Are Why biblical boundaries aren’t walls—but loving frameworks that protect your peace and honor your grief.

👉 How to Express Your Needs Clearly Practical scripts to help you speak your truth—to your spouse, your children, your extended family, and even acquaintances.

👉 The Power of a Firm But Gentle “No” When to close the door, how to say it with grace, and why setting limits is a lifeline—not a rejection.
