The Grief Mentor | Life After Child Loss, Hope and Healing For Grieving Moms, Bereavement, Christian Grief SupportShow Notes
If you are a grieving mom asking, "Does the pain of child loss ever go away?", this episode is for you. You've been doing everything you can just to get through the day. And when the weight becomes too much to carry, you reach for something — anything — to take the edge off. But the comfort never seems to last. And the ache always finds its way back. In this episode, Teresa sits with you in that place. Through the picture of a garden being turned over, she opens up what grief is really doing in you — even on the days when it feels like absolutely nothing is growing. There's a reason the surface comfort isn't reaching the ache. And there's something far deeper that God is doing underneath the ground. In this episode, you'll discover... Why the comfort you keep reaching for never quite reaches the ache
What grief is actually doing beneath the surface of your life — even when you can't see it
The one thing every mighty oak must have to grow deep roots — and why it's the hardest part of grief.
Why you can't see your own growth right now — and what that does not mean
Scripture referenced in this episode: Isaiah 61:3 (NLT) Psalm 126:5-6 (NLT) Wherever you find yourself today, you are not without support. The tears you are crying are seen by your heavenly Father, and what is planted in tears will one day reap a harvest. He is near. And He has never once left you alone. If you're ready to stop reaching for the surface and begin grieving God's way, Calming the Chaos is here to walk through it with you — at your own pace, all summer long. 👉 Calming the Chaos The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor
