• Why being present for your surviving children can feel nearly impossible after child loss.

• The hidden guilt that can make joyful moments with your surviving children feel like betrayal.

• What your surviving children may be keeping from you—and why.

Episode 320: Why Do I Feel So Numb After Child Loss?

You braced yourself for grief to mean feeling everything — the crying, the falling apart, the days you couldn't stand up under it.

Then came the day someone said your child's name and the tears didn't come. And you started to wonder what is wrong with you.

You'll hear:

• Numbness does not measure the depth of your love for your child

• The absence of feeling is not the absence of God

Free 30-Minute Teaching: Why Am I Still Stuck?

This free teaching walks you through how to recognize whether you're still living in survival mode after child loss, and what may be keeping you there that you can't see yet.
