    296. My Child Died -The Missing Never Stops: One Truth To Ease The Pain

    My Child Died and the Missing Never Stops: One Truth To Ease The PaIn My child died — and the missing never stops. Nobody warns you about that kind of missing. It doesn't soften with a good night's sleep, and it doesn't wait for a good time. It rises up in the cereal aisle, in the quiet of the house, in the middle of the night — and some days "I miss my child so much" is the only sentence you've got. This Saturday, we sit in that missing together — and then turn to one verse that has held grieving mothers through the lowest places they've ever known. It's the same verse a remarkable woman built her whole life around, long before Teresa ever understood what it would one day mean to her. In this episode, you'll discover: 👉 The one word in Deuteronomy 33:27 that changes everything about how you see God 👉 What Elisabeth Elliot — who lost everything — knew about surviving when everything was taken from her 👉 The part of this verse Teresa found confusing for years, until God showed her what it really means for a grieving mom 👉 Why the enemy never gets the last word The missing is real, and it is not going anywhere this side of heaven. But it is not the end of your story. You are loved with an everlasting love — and underneath are the everlasting arms. 🎧 Calming the Chaos — Summer Access Pricing is open now.

    295. Why Did My Child Die? What Helps When There's No Answer

    You've asked it a thousand times: "Why did this happen? Why my child? Why. And the answers people keep offering you — they're in a better place, everything happens for a reason, at least you have other children — never reach the place that actually hurts. If anything, they make you feel more alone. This episode is for the mom who is exhausted from carrying everyone else's explanations. There is something here that the world's wisdom could never give you — and it may not be what you think it is.  In this episode, you'll discover... 👉 Why the world's wisdom will never give you the answer your heart longs for 👉 The part of your grief that counseling alone was never meant to reach 👉 What God did for thirty-seven chapters before He ever said a single word 👉 What if the answer your heart is aching for is not what you think it is? When the next person hands you an answer that doesn't fit, you don't have to carry it. Take a deep breath and join me for some relief that you been looking for.  P.S. 💛Summer Access Pricing for Calming the Chaos is now available.

    294. Why Can't I Sleep? Fear's Grip After Child Loss

    There's a fear that doesn't show up until after your child goes to heaven. It's not the grief everyone warned you about. It's the quiet dread that something is going to happen to someone else you love — and it has a way of finding you at 2 a.m. If you've been waking in a panic, reaching for your phone just to make sure everyone is okay, this Saturday episode is for you. You're not doing grief wrong. You're carrying one of the heaviest, most normal things a grieving mom carries. In this episode, you'll discover... 👉 The recurring dream that gripped Teresa's heart in the early days — and what it taught her about fear after child loss 👉 Why "don't be afraid" was never the command you thought it was 👉 What actually loosens fear's grip over time — and what doesn't You don't have to conquer the fear tonight. You only have to remember Who is with you in it. If your heart is ready to wrap fear, guilt, and doubt in truth, Calming the Chaos is where we do that deeper work together, at your own pace. 👉 Calming the Chaos The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor

    293. Does The Pain of Child Loss Ever Go Away?

    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

    292. How Long Do I Have to Wait? Child Loss Grief-Hope & Peace

    You've been praying the same prayer for so long now. Please help me, Lord. Take this pain away. And this morning, nothing about your life looks any different than it did last week — or the week before that. If you've started to wonder whether there's any hope left in the waiting — whether God is even still in your story — this episode was made for you. Today we go to the book of Lamentations, written from the middle of real, unresolved loss, to uncover what you're truly waiting for when you wait on God. Because what you're waiting for may be far closer than you think. In this episode, you'll discover... ✨ Why the waiting itself may be the very place God is doing His deepest work in you ✨ The hidden meaning behind a single word that reframes the entire idea of "waiting quietly" ✨ What I screamed at God in my own backyard one fall afternoon — and the answer that met me there ✨ How relief can begin before a single circumstance around you ever changes If your mind has been too loud to hear Him, there's a place to go underneath the guilt, fear, and doubt — to understand it, release it, and learn to depend on Him again. It's called Calming the Chaos. 👉 Calming the Chaos You are not waiting alone in the dark. He heard you the very first moment you prayed — and He has not forgotten you.

    291. Child Loss & Grief Brain: You're Not Losing Your Mind

    Your mind will not stop. The replay. The what-ifs. The guilt that says it was somehow your fault, the fear of what might happen next, the doubt that slips in when you least expect it. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you have started to wonder if grief has done something to your mind that you will never get back. In this episode, Teresa opens up about her own experience with the chaos — the guilt, the fear, and the doubt that nearly convinced her she was losing herself. And she shares the one truth that changed everything about how she walks through child loss. If your own thoughts have become the hardest place you have to live, this conversation will help you understand why — and show you that what feels permanent is not. In this episode, you'll discover... Why your thoughts hold this much power over you — and what is really happening when guilt, fear, and doubt take over What keeps you from solid ground — even on the days your faith feels strong Why these thoughts refuse to loosen their grip — and what finally begins to change that The one small, quiet step that holds far more power than you would ever expect You are not losing your mind. You are a grieving mother carrying what no mother was ever meant to — and there is a way to begin quieting the chaos. The God who is close to the brokenhearted is not asking you to fight your way to peace alone. He is already reaching for you, ready to lead you to solid ground. Ready to go deeper? Calming the Chaos is a ten-session series of faith-based teachings, each with its own workbook, created for grieving moms who are tired of being stuck in the guilt, the fear, and the doubt — and ready to find their way back to living again. You can work through it at your own pace, in your own time with God. 👉 Begin here: Calming The Chaos The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor

    290. Why Do I Always Put Everyone Else First? The Hidden Weight Every Grieving Mom Carries

    You keep showing up for everyone else. Your surviving children, your spouse, your job, the people who never see what you carry. You hand out grace, patience, room to not be okay — to everyone but yourself. In her first episode back, Teresa sits down for an honest, tender conversation about the grace grieving moms give away so freely and almost never keep for themselves. Because here is the truth so many of us live and rarely admit: you cannot give from empty. In this episode, you'll discover... Why the strongest grieving moms are so often the most depleted — and what that strength is quietly costing you Why giving yourself grace is not the same as abandoning the people who still need you What one grieving woman at an empty tomb can show you about being filled back up The verse that says your most emptied-out moment may be the exact place you are held the most If you have forgotten what it feels like to be poured into instead of poured out, this is the gentle place to begin. You are not failing because you are tired. You are carrying something almost no one can see — and the God who is close to the brokenhearted has not stopped tending to you, even now. 🎵 This week's gift: the Grief Worship Playlist — free, and made for the nights when you have no words of your own.

    289. Who Am I Now? Finding Yourself After Child Loss

    There is a question every grieving mother eventually asks herself. Who am I — because I don't recognize myself anymore. If that question has been living with you — quietly, in the spaces between the hard days — this episode is for you. Today Teresa walks with you through one of the most tender and misunderstood parts of grief. The part where you begin to catch glimpses of someone forming inside of you — and you are not sure you like her yet. The part where feeling hope brings a wave of guilt you did not see coming. The part where moving forward feels like betraying the child you love. What you are feeling is not what you think it is. And the woman you are becoming is not a stranger. In this episode, you'll discover... 👉 Why the guilt that rushes in the first time you feel hope is not the voice of God — and what it actually is 👉 What the Potter and the clay reveal about the woman forming inside of you — and why she is not a stranger 👉 The truth about moving forward that every grieving mother needs to hear — and why it has nothing to do with leaving your child behind 👉 Why the becoming is slow — and why that is not a sign that something is wrong You are not losing yourself. You are not leaving your child behind. You are being held in the hands of a Potter who has not left the wheel — who has not grown tired of the work — who knows exactly what He is creating, even when you cannot see it yet. 👉 Become A Grief Mentor Insider 👉 If you have been through the Grief Roadmap or you are currently in it — check your email.
