289. Who Am I Now? Finding Yourself After Child Loss
The Grief Mentor | Life After Child Loss, Hope and Healing For Grieving Moms, Bereavement, Christian Grief SupportShow Notes
There is a question every grieving mother eventually asks herself. Who am I — because I don't recognize myself anymore. If that question has been living with you — quietly, in the spaces between the hard days — this episode is for you. Today Teresa walks with you through one of the most tender and misunderstood parts of grief. The part where you begin to catch glimpses of someone forming inside of you — and you are not sure you like her yet. The part where feeling hope brings a wave of guilt you did not see coming. The part where moving forward feels like betraying the child you love. What you are feeling is not what you think it is. And the woman you are becoming is not a stranger. In this episode, you'll discover... 👉 Why the guilt that rushes in the first time you feel hope is not the voice of God — and what it actually is 👉 What the Potter and the clay reveal about the woman forming inside of you — and why she is not a stranger 👉 The truth about moving forward that every grieving mother needs to hear — and why it has nothing to do with leaving your child behind 👉 Why the becoming is slow — and why that is not a sign that something is wrong You are not losing yourself. You are not leaving your child behind. You are being held in the hands of a Potter who has not left the wheel — who has not grown tired of the work — who knows exactly what He is creating, even when you cannot see it yet. 👉 Become A Grief Mentor Insider 👉 If you have been through the Grief Roadmap or you are currently in it — check your email. A new way to continue on is waiting for you there. The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor
