When you’re grieving, you expect the pain. The quiet. The tears. The days that take your breath away.

But what about the things you didn’t expect?

Like the way a single moment can soften the ache. Or how your heart might expand with purpose and love in ways you never imagined. Or the peace that shows up when you least expect it.

This is Part 3 in our summer series, Moments That Make You Smile—A Summer Series for Grieving Moms and today’s short reflection explores the quiet gifts that grief can uncover. The ones that don’t erase the pain—but remind you God is still near.

Ask yourself: What have I experienced that was unexpected… but now I'm so grateful for?

👉 I’d love to hear about it. Email me at [email protected].

Moments That Make You Smile: A Summer Series for Grieving Moms (Episode 2)

💔 Feeling invisible in your grief?

When the ache is heavy and the world keeps moving, it’s easy to believe no one notices your pain. But sometimes, when you least expect it, kindness shows up—through a stranger’s words, a child’s eyes, or a moment that interrupts the silence with a gentle reminder: You are still seen.

This is Episode 2 of our Moments That Make You Smile summer series, designed to help you breathe a little easier, reflect on small moments of hope, and remember that God still meets you—even here.

✨ Inside this summer episode:

• What might be blocking you from recognizing kindness in your grief

• Why the smallest gestures can carry the deepest healing

• A reminder that you don’t have to pretend you’re okay to be held by God

• An encouragement to look back—and notice the moments you may have missed

💌 Need a space to be seen and supported?

The Grief Mentor Session Sale has been extended for one more week. If your heart is aching for someone to meet you where you are, this is your invitation. You don’t have to walk this road alone.(see below for the link to book)

🕊️ Kindness may be closer than you think. And sometimes, it's God's way of saying—I see you, child.

What if the way you’ve been grieving hasn’t been shaped by God’s truth… but by everything around you?

In today’s episode, Teresa builds on last week’s powerful message from 2 Chronicles 20 and helps you explore the hidden ways the world, culture, and even your upbringing may be influencing how you process your grief.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, exhausted, or unsure of why healing feels out of reach—this episode will gently uncover the emotional blind spots that may be keeping you there.

You’ll learn:

• Why the world’s approach to grief leaves you feeling empty

• What God’s Word says about how to respond to pain

• 6 biblical steps to grieving God’s way (with practical contrast)

• Reflective questions to help you recognize what’s really shaping your grief

• A visual from James 5 to encourage you when progress feels slow

This is the wake-up call your heart may not even realize it needs.

When life falls apart, where do you turn? In today’s episode, Teresa walks you through one of the most overlooked but powerful passages in the Old Testament—2 Chronicles 20—and shows how it holds a life-giving blueprint for grieving moms navigating unspeakable loss.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

• A 6-step biblical model for grieving God’s way

• Why “standing still” may be the hardest—but most important—step

• The difference between doing grief the world’s way… and God’s

• A closing reflection that will speak directly to your weary heart

If you’ve been trying to hold it all together but feel spiritually disconnected or stuck in survival mode, this episode is for you.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I don’t even know who I am anymore”?

The woman you were before—the one who laughed, planned, and lived with purpose—feels like a stranger now. And when grief has unraveled the person you used to be… where do you even begin?

In this episode, we’re exploring the three identity shifts grieving moms face:

1. Who you were before grief

2. Who you are right now

3. Who you’re becoming in Christ

📍Inside this episode:

• Why feeling disconnected from yourself is more than normal

• A scripture that holds you when you’ve forgotten who you are

• One question to gently sit with this week as you ask God to help you rebuild

If you feel lost in who you are now… you’re not alone. And God is not finished with your story.

💬 Want to explore your identity in a safe, faith-rooted space? Book a one-on-one Grief Mentor session with me—we’ll walk through this together.

Friend, this episode is real and raw. Some weeks, grief doesn’t announce itself. It just settles in… silently, heavily.

This past week, I hit a wall. Grief crept in through unexpected places—editing a hard episode, watching a documentary, reliving sacred memories, and sitting in a graduation ceremony at the very place where Andrew once received his diploma.

But God didn’t waste any of it. Through the Holy Spirit, He met me right there in the broken pieces.

📍Inside this episode:

• The gentle voice of the Holy Spirit in the middle of exhaustion

• What communion reminded me about Jesus, brokenness, and calling

• And the quiet, convicting question you may need to face in your own grief journey

3. A New Mission – The birth of Surviving Child Loss, a docuseries (and upcoming full-length documentary) designed to bring comfort, truth, and hope to grieving parents, the Church, and beyond.

Whether you've lost your child to suicide or are walking alongside someone who has, this episode will show you you're not alone—and that Jesus is still the Champion, even when the outcome breaks your heart.

Why Your First Thought Matters More Than You Think

Grief often crashes in the moment you wake up—before your feet even hit the floor.

But what if your first thought could become a place of peace, not panic? What if there was one small habit that could change the way you face every hard day?

In this powerful and personal episode, Teresa shares the morning practice that shaped her own healing after losing her son—and how it can anchor your heart too. This isn’t about checking a box or being “strong in faith.” It’s about gaining tools to use before your day begins.

📍 Inside this episode:

• The morning habit that quietly transforms your grief journey

• A surprising truth tucked inside Psalm 4 you may have never noticed

• How to invite peace into your day—before your feet even hit the floor

• A quiet invitation to let your first thoughts belong to Him
