281. Mother's Day Reflections: Grief, Love, and Loss
The Grief Mentor | Life After Child Loss, Hope and Healing For Grieving Moms, Bereavement, Christian Grief SupportShow Notes
Mother's Day can look so many different ways when you are a mom who is grieving the loss of your child. Maybe it was harder than you expected. Maybe grief showed up in a moment you weren't prepared for. Maybe you sat in a room full of people and felt completely alone. Whatever this past weekend looked like for you — you are not alone, and you are seen. In this episode, Teresa sits down with you — to share, straight from her own Mother's Day, including a moment at church that she wasn't prepared for, a word the Holy Spirit spoke over her, and something she wants every grieving mom to carry into the week ahead. In this episode, you'll discover: Why grief has a way of showing up in the most ordinary and beautiful moments — and what to do when it does
What the Holy Spirit reminded Teresa in the middle of her own heaviness — and why it matters for you too
Why the waiting room of grief is not what you think it is — and what your one job is while you're in it
The greatest courage Teresa has ever witnessed on this earth — and why it belongs to you
You don't have to have it all together today. You don't have to manufacture peace or force hope. You just have to draw near. He is already close — closer than your next breath — and He is still writing your story. 👉 Grab your free Grief Survival Guide The Grief Mentor Podcast / Teresa Davis / Your Grief Mentor
