The Grief Mentor | Life After Child Loss, Hope and Healing For Grieving Moms, Bereavement, Christian Grief SupportShow Notes
My Child Died and the Missing Never Stops: One Truth To Ease The Pain My child died — and the missing never stops. Nobody warns you about that kind of missing. It doesn't soften with a good night's sleep, and it doesn't wait for a good time. It rises up in the cereal aisle, in the quiet of the house, in the middle of the night — and some days "I miss my child so much" is the only sentence you've got. This Saturday, we sit in that missing together — and then turn to one verse that has held grieving mothers through the lowest places they've ever known. It's the same verse a remarkable woman built her whole life around, long before Teresa ever understood what it would one day mean to her. In this episode, you'll discover: 👉 The one word in Deuteronomy 33:27 that changes everything about how you see God 👉 What Elisabeth Elliot — who lost everything — knew about surviving when everything was taken from her 👉 The part of this verse Teresa found confusing for years, until God showed her what it really means for a grieving mom 👉 Why the enemy never gets the last word The missing is real, and it is not going anywhere this side of heaven. But it is not the end of your story. You are loved with an everlasting love — and underneath are the everlasting arms. 🎧 Calming the Chaos — Summer Access Pricing is open now.
