343: Foggy Brain After Child Loss: Why Grief Affects Your Mind and Memory


Listen Later

After the death of a child, many grieving parents struggle with something they don’t expect, which is extreme brain fog. In this episode, Laura gently talks about foggy brain after child loss, including the forgetfulness, confusion, and mental exhaustion that can linger for years. If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t think clearly or feel like your mind just isn’t working the way it used to, you are not alone.

With honesty, personal experience, and biblical encouragement, this episode explores why grief affects your mind and memory, while offering hope for the healing process. You’ll be reminded to give yourself grace, take one small step at a time, and speak truth over your thoughts as God slowly begins to lift the fog.
