Have you ever felt that admitting your pain might somehow indicate a lack of faith? After thirteen years of infertility and the heartbreaking loss of four precious children, I discovered a profound truth that transformed my relationship with grief and with God.

Psalm 91:4 paints a tender image: "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge." This promise became my lifeline during seasons of deep longing and seemingly endless waiting. I had believed for years that acknowledging my sorrow meant I didn't trust God's plan. But I learned that naming our pain isn't weakness—it's actually a courageous step toward healing and an authentic expression of trust in the One who already knows our hearts.

The episode concludes with my poem "Dear Wanting Mother," written for anyone whose heart aches with unfulfilled longing. Whether you're facing infertility like I did, grieving a different kind of loss, or simply walking through a season of waiting, I hope you'll find comfort in knowing that grief and faith are not enemies. Your honest sorrow doesn't betray your trust in God—it creates space for experiencing His comfort in profound ways
