You made it through Christmas — and yet the quiet afterward feels heavier than you expected. If you're wondering why grief feels stronger after the holiday ends, you're not alone.

In this episode, we continue Mary's story beyond the manger and into ordinary life. The miracle had arrived, but the road ahead was still uncertain. Mary kept walking forward without applause, without relief from responsibility, and without knowing what the future would hold.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why grief often intensifies after the holidays end

• How emotional exhaustion can surface once the "survival mode" wears off

• Why feeling worse does not mean you're regressing in your grief

• What Mary's quiet faithfulness teaches grieving moms about the days after Christmas

If your heart feels heavier now than it did during the holiday itself, this episode offers reassurance, truth, and permission to rest.
