In this episode of Outnumbered by Chaos, we’re talking about the bittersweet beauty of grief — how it breaks us open and, somehow, makes more room for joy. When Michelle Rigden’s husband Gareth was diagnosed with terminal cancer, life as she knew it changed overnight. But instead of letting grief destroy her, Michelle chose something radical — she chose gratitude, even in the face of loss.

Through her story of love, loss, and unexpected new beginnings, Michelle shares what it looked like to live fully, love deeply, and find joy after grief without erasing the pain. We talk about the raw reality of healing after loss, how grief reshapes your identity, and why choosing to celebrate life—even in the hardest moments—changes everything.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to embrace both grief and gratitude without guilt.

• Why finding purpose after loss isn’t about moving on — it’s about moving forward with love.

• How life after loss can still be full of laughter, hope, and new dreams.

• The beauty of honoring a loved one by living well, even while carrying their memory with you.

If you are walking through fresh grief, learning how to navigate life after loss, or wondering if joy is even possible after your world has fallen apart, this conversation is for you.

As part of this Christian lifestyle blog and faith-based journey, we explore how grief, love, faith, and new life are more connected than we often realize. Tune in for encouragement, real stories, and the reminder that even in sorrow, beauty still rises.

In this episode of Outnumbered by Chaos, we’re diving into the silence of grief and discovering how to hear God’s voice in the midst of pain. Grief can feel isolating, leaving us questioning where God is in our sorrow.

Through my personal journey of loss—losing both my husband and brother—I share how God met me in my brokenness and revealed His presence in ways I never expected.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to recognize God’s presence even when He feels distant in grief.

• Why wrestling with God in our pain is a natural part of faith—and how He meets us in our rawest moments.

• The importance of listening for God’s voice in the silence and how grief can actually deepen our relationship with Him.

• How holding onto God’s promises brings comfort, healing, and hope, even when life feels unbearably heavy.

If you are navigating grief, parenting through loss, or seeking healing while balancing faith and family life, this episode is for you. As part of this Christian lifestyle blog and faith-based journey, we’ll explore how God is near to the brokenhearted, how He listens in our sorrow, and how restoration comes through trusting Him. Tune in for encouragement, faith, and the assurance that you are never alone.

In this episode of Outnumbered by Chaos, we're exploring the theme of restoration through the lens of Christian lifestyle, parenting, and grief. Life can often feel like it’s falling apart, and sometimes we face unexpected losses—whether it’s something as small as a mistake or as big as a personal tragedy. I share my experience of accidentally losing an entire year’s worth of work on my website, and how that loss led to unexpected healing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. How loss, even in small or seemingly insignificant moments, can lead to something beautiful if we trust in God's plan for healing and restoration.

2. The importance of letting go of what we can’t control, as demonstrated in Ruth's story, and how that act of trust can lead to greater things.

3. Rebuilding after grief and how letting God work through our challenges can bring us to a place of restoration, even in our parenting and family life.

4. The ultimate healing that comes with trusting in God’s eternal restoration, especially in the context of grief and loss.

This episode is for anyone navigating grief, healing, or the challenges of balancing faith and parenting life. Join me as we explore how God is always at work, restoring what has been lost, and guiding us toward a greater purpose.

Tune in for a reminder that, through faith, healing and restoration are always possible.
