The Grief Mentor | Life After Child Loss, Hope and Healing For Grieving Moms, Bereavement, Christian Grief SupportShow Notes
Why Can't I Stop Blaming Myself? Guilt After Child Loss The thought arrives without warning. If I had done something different, my child would still be here. You go back over it again and again, searching for the one moment you missed — the detail that would explain everything, the missing link that would change everything. In this episode, Teresa sits with the thought that makes you the villain of your own story, and offers one verse that overrules the verdict guilt has handed you. In this episode, you'll discover... ✨ Why guilt keeps resurfacing — and what it does not mean about you ✨ The one thing every grieving mom goes searching for that was never there ✨ What your guilt leaves out of the story every single time ✨ A question to ask the next time the thought comes back You were never holding the number of your child's days. God is greater than what you feel, and He knows everything you couldn't have known. ✨ Calming the Chaos If the thought in this episode is one you carry, this is where we sit down with it and stay a while. Calming the Chaos is a self-paced, faith-based course built for mothers after child loss. Ten sessions you move through at your own pace, in your own time, in your own home — no schedule to keep up with on the days you can't. Inside, we walk through the guilt that keeps circling back. The questions that don't have answers and never will. The fear and the doubt that show up uninvited. And the quiet place underneath it all where you've begun to wonder who you even are now. Then we turn toward the part no one can rush for you — learning to live again while you carry everything you carry. You don't have to do this alone, and you don't have to do it fast. 👉 Calming the Chaos The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor
