The Grief Mentor | Life After Child Loss, Hope and Healing For Grieving Moms, Bereavement, Christian Grief SupportShow Notes
Episode 320: Why Do I Feel So Numb After Child Loss? You braced yourself for grief to mean feeling everything — the crying, the falling apart, the days you couldn't stand up under it. Then came the day someone said your child's name and the tears didn't come. And you started to wonder what is wrong with you. You'll hear: Numbness does not measure the depth of your love for your child
The absence of feeling is not the absence of God
You don't have to fake what you feel — just tell God the truth
If the tears won't come and you've started to question whether you're grieving the right way, this conversation is for you. Free 30-Minute Teaching: Why Am I Still Stuck? Maybe numb isn't your word. Maybe you'd say you're functioning — showing up, doing what has to be done — and somewhere along the way survival quietly became a way of life. This free teaching walks you through how to recognize whether you're still living in survival mode after child loss, and what may be keeping you there that you can't see yet. 👉 https://the-grief-mentor-sib5en.subscribepage.io/ The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor
