A few years back I had a fresh revelation of a very familiar story in the Bible. This story reminds us how Jesus meets us in the hardest moments and offers us something incredible in return.
He doesn’t leave us alone in this messy life, but is so close to us.
If you're looking for hope and a reminder of Jesus' constant presence in your life, this episode is for you.

Feeling peace in the middle of your grief can seem impossible. However, when we look in the Bible it’s full of promises of peace that we can claim over our grief and pain and sadness.
I’ve experienced this peace in my own grief journey, the peace that doesn’t make sense.
In today’s episode, I share a time that I felt this peace. And then we’ll go into what peace is and how you can claim it in your own grief journey.

Grief affects us in so many different ways - emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually. Our entire being is affected.
I believe there are certain things we need to prioritize in our healing journey. Today I’m bringing you 4 things to prioritize. While these aren’t the only 4 things, I wanted to bring these to you today as I think they are some important ones.

Our child’s heaven anniversary is the hardest day of the year. The day our babies left this earth and went to heaven is a no good, awful day. So how are you supposed to make it through?
I recently went through my Sam’s heaven anniversary and I made it through the day. So I wanted to make this episode to share with you what I did to give you some ideas on how to make it through your child’s next heaven anniversary.
I pray that as you have to face this day, that you’ll feel Jesus and your child so very close to you. And I pray that these tips will give you some tactical things you can do to get through the day.

Fear is one of the emotions I have really struggled with after losing Sam. If you struggle with fear as well, you know how crippling it can be.
But God has not left us to deal with this emotion on our own! He’s equipped us with things we can do, weapons we can use, against our fears.
In this episode, I go into what causes our fear (and no, it’s not the situation that causes the fear), how we can overcome that fear, and some truth we can speak into our fear.

Throughout my own grief journey, I’ve received advice that just didn’t fit after losing Sam. This type of grief that we’re having to walk through, the grief of losing a child, is just not right. It shouldn’t be this way.
And so the “typical” advice that we might receive just doesn’t apply to us as grieving moms.
In this episode I bring you 4 pieces of advice that you might receive that doesn’t work in our situations. And then I give you what DOES work instead.
