Beyond Existing - Beyond the Small Talk

Losing my Daddy and Coping with Loss, especially During the Holidays


Listen Later

A daughter revisits the ten days that reshaped her family, from surgical hope and ICU turns to the quiet strength of community and faith. Small signs—a snowfall, a vision, a hawk—become anchors that steady grief through holidays and years.

• kidney crisis, surgical plan, and early complications
• ICU vigil, Christmas awakening, and rapid decline
• dialysis strain, December 28 loss, and burial of hopes
• Psalm 91, anxiety imprint, and coping in the body
• empty house, sports memories, and daily absence
• community support, pastoral presence, and generosity
• vision in worship, snow in Savannah, and hawk as sign
• hospice with mom, spiritual thresholds, and farewell
• parenting through grief, teaching in hard places, and gratitude
• remarriage after loss, unanswered prayers, and steady faith
• Christmas hope, Jesus as anchor, and endurance
