    414 | Grief, Loss, & the Journey Back to Joy

    The experience of loss is universal, but when it arrives suddenly and upends our world, the journey through grief can feel like an impossible wilderness. In this episode, Mercy's Founder and President, Nancy Alcorn, is joined by Mercy’s Ministry Care Leader, Carrie Christmas. Carrie opens up about the sudden passing of her husband, Joshua, and how what began as a normal afternoon four years ago led to 27 days of standing in faith in a COVID‑era ICU. Carrie shares with raw honesty how she navigated isolation, the weight of telling her young sons their father wasn't coming back, and the conscious decision she had to make to prevent a "spirit of grief" from becoming a permanent foothold of depression. This conversation is a profound reminder that while our purpose isn't rooted in the people we love, the comfort of God is always available to meet us in the middle of our darkest seasons. In this episode, we cover: The tension of faith and reality: Reconciling the desire for a miracle and finding peace in unanswered questions.Practical support in grief: Why "presence" matters more than advice and how to support others.Purpose beyond loss: How God can use our deepest sorrows to minister to the pain of others.Resources & Links: You've Already Got It! by Andrew Wommack2.
