    258. Am I Healing or Just Waiting? The Truth About Betrayal After Child Loss

    "Am I betraying my child if I start to feel better?" It's a question most grieving moms never say out loud. Not because you love your child any less. But because pain has started to feel like the only bridge between you and them. Somewhere along the way, suffering begins to feel like loyalty — and the thought of healing feels like forgetting. In this episode, we step into that tension. The guilt that surfaces when you laugh for a moment. The heaviness that follows a day that didn't end in tears. And the fear that hope for your future might somehow dishonor your child. Anchored in Psalm 94, we talk about what happens when your "foot feels like it's slipping" — and how God's comfort meets you right there. Inside this conversation, you'll discover… Why guilt often shows up the moment you begin to feel lighter The hidden belief that suffering proves your love What Psalm 94 reveals about God's support when your heart feels unsteady How to move forward in strength without leaving your child behind If you've ever felt afraid that healing might mean betrayal, I hope you'll press play. God's comfort does not erase your love — it strengthens you to carry it differently. You are not dishonoring your child by stepping toward peace.     ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own. I'm hosting a two-day live gathering for grieving moms. This will be a time to come together, be present, and talk honestly about grief, identity, and what it looks like to keep lliving when life no longer feels familiar. 👉 Learn more and register here: LIVE GATHERING LINK Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor

    257. Why I Feel So Alone After Child Loss: Hidden Layers No One Talks About

    When the house gets quiet and the weight of missing your child feels heavier than you can possibly bear, it's natural to look for a place to retreat. Whether you are leaning on your family to carry the weight or retreating inward to manage it all alone, you might be surprised to find that your "hiding place" is actually a response to the hidden layers of grief that no one warned you about. This episode is a gentle but honest look at how we survive the unthinkable. We're moving past the surface-level "I'm fine" and looking at the patterns that quietly shape your days. If you feel like you're stuck in a cycle of just getting through the next hour, this conversation will help you identify the deeper layers keeping you isolated so you can begin to find your way back to a place of connection. Inside this conversation, you'll discover: The "Hiding Place" Audit: How to identify where you are retreating—whether it's through "staying busy," scrolling, or complete emotional shutdown. The Burden of the Surviving Child: A candid look at whether you are unintentionally asking your other children to carry more than they were meant to. Isolation vs. Solitude: Why your current coping mechanisms might be keeping you stuck in survival mode instead of moving toward healing. The "Function over Feeling" Trap: Why staying busy feels like safety, but might actually be the very thing keeping your heart from finding rest. I want you to know that you don't have to carry the heavy layers of loss by yourself. There is a safe place for you to be seen, heard, and understood without judgment. Press play, take a deep breath, and remember that even in your darkest hiding place, God sees you, He loves you, and He is waiting to meet you right where you are.   ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

    256. Why Grief Pulls You Back: The Hidden Cost of Peace and the Risk of Trusting Again

    Why does it feel like every time you start to feel a bit of peace, you get pulled right back into the pain? You aren't choosing to stay stuck, and you certainly aren't trying to live in this dark place, yet it keeps happening. You take one step forward, something shifts, and suddenly you are pulling inward again, feeling like your thoughts are spiraling out of control.   In this episode, we're going one layer deeper into why grief does this and uncovering the "silent coping mechanism" that might be holding you back. We'll look at a familiar story from the Book of Exodus to understand why freedom requires more than just leaving the past behind—it requires a new way of walking that might feel a little risky at first. Inside this conversation, you'll discover… 🤍 You'll hear about the "silent coping mechanism" you likely don't even realize you're using—and why it's blocking the very peace you're praying for. 🤍 You'll learn why "knowing the truth" isn't the same as "living the truth" and the one thing required to bridge that gap. 🤍 You'll discover the "hidden cost" of taking a step forward and why your heart perceives this move as a high-risk gamble. 🤍 You'll hear what God offered the Israelites instead of a map, and how that same gift is the key to your path forward today. If your heart is tired of the "back and forth" struggle and you're longing for a rest that actually lasts, this episode is for you. You don't have to figure out the whole wilderness today; you just have to see the path He is lighting up just for you.   ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

    255.Why Am I Still Just Surviving? Moving from Pain to Peace After Child Loss

    Have you ever felt like all you are doing is coping? One day turns into the next, and suddenly you find yourself six months down the road—or even a year—yet you feel like you are still standing in the exact same place you were on day one.   You are living your life entirely inside the circumstances of your child's death, exhausted from the constant "push" to just get through the hour, and you've begun to wonder if peace is even a reality for you anymore.   In this episode, we are going to pull back the curtain on the "survival mode" trap and look at your pain through a different lens. You will discover how to move from a place of being confined by your loss into a spacious, open place where life is still possible and hope is allowed to breathe again.   Inside this conversation, you'll discover: The hidden reason why the very coping mechanisms that kept you alive in the beginning might be what is keeping you stuck today. How to distinguish between "pushing" through your grief and being "pulled" into the healing path God has prepared for you. The three simple concepts that will clear the "Grief Brain" confusion and help you see a path forward. Why moving into a place of peace doesn't mean leaving your child behind, but rather finding a new way to carry them with you. You don't have to stay exhausted by the weight of just getting through. There is a way to honor your child while also stepping into the life God intends for you—one where the overwhelm of grief no longer clouds your vision. Press play, friend, and let's take this gentle step together toward the light of His presence, where hope lives and life is still waiting for you.   ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

    254. What to Do When You Feel Faith Slipping and God Feels Absent After Child Loss

    If you believe in God but can't feel Him anywhere right now, you're not alone. When your child is no longer walking beside you, faith can feel fragile, confusing, and even unsafe to hold. You still pray. You still believe. But God feels distant, quiet, and harder to find than ever before. In this episode, we sit inside that ache without rushing past it. This is an honest conversation for grieving moms who are doing their best to hold on, even as their grip feels loose. You'll hear why this experience is deeply human, deeply biblical, and not a failure of your faith—especially after a loss that has turned your world upside down. In this episode, we'll explore together… Why faith can feel harder to hold after child loss—even when you still believe What Scripture shows us about seasons when God feels absent or unreachable How grief disrupts the way we hear, sense, and experience God's presence Why needing something tangible to hold onto doesn't mean you're weak in faith If your faith feels fragile right now, I want you to know this: God is not offended by your questions, your confusion, or your aching heart. He is closer than you realize—even in the silence. Press play, friend. Let's sit with this together. ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

    253. I Don't Recognize Myself Anymore — Understanding Identity After Child Loss

    You don't wake up one day and decide you're a different person. It happens slowly — as the life you expected is taken away and survival becomes your focus. And then one day, you realize the woman looking back at you doesn't feel familiar anymore. If you've found yourself thinking, "I don't know who I am now," —  you're not alone. In this episode, we talk about the disorienting identity shift that often comes after child loss — not in the earliest days, but later, when the shock wears off and reality settles in. This is the stage many grieving moms aren't prepared for, and rarely hear named. This conversation will help you understand what's happening inside you, why it feels so unsettling, and how Scripture speaks directly into this place of grief. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why identity rupture doesn't happen right away — and why that delayed realization can feel so destabilizing How Naomi's story in the book of Ruth mirrors the loss of self many grieving moms experience What it means when you don't recognize yourself anymore — and why that awareness matters How naming this stage of grief becomes the first step toward clarity, steadiness, and movement If you're standing in that in-between place — no longer who you were, but unsure of who you're becoming — this episode is for you. ✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27 If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own.

    252. I Don't Need More Grief Tips — I Need Something That Actually Works

    You've listened. You've prayed. You've read the books and tried the suggestions. And yet… you still feel stuck. If you're a grieving mom who keeps searching for relief but can't seem to find it, this episode names what's really happening beneath the surface — and why trying harder isn't the answer. Many grieving moms stay caught in survival mode, absorbing more and more information, hoping the next insight will finally bring peace. But grief doesn't heal through endless input. It heals when faith is given structure and space to move. In this episode, you'll hear the story of a woman in Scripture who tried everything for twelve years — and how one small step of faith changed everything. Inside this conversation, you'll hear about: Why grief can make thinking feel safer than taking a step The difference between hearing truth and moving with faith How survival mode keeps grieving moms stuck Why relief doesn't come from knowing more, but from taking the next step What the woman with the issue of blood teaches us about faith, risk, and healing If you've been worn down by suggestions and still don't know what to do next, this episode offers clarity, Scripture, and a steadier way forward. You don't need all the answers. You just need the next faithful step.   📘 THE GRIEF ROADMAP — WAITLIST OPEN If you're longing for ongoing support, community, and a more structured path through grief, the Grief Roadmap waitlist is open now.

    251. Why I'm Afraid to Surrender After Loss—and What is God Really Asking?

    If the word surrender makes your chest tighten instead of bringing peace, you're not alone. After loss—especially child loss—surrender can feel dangerous. It can sound like vulnerability, exposure, or risk. And when you've already lost what mattered most, even the idea of opening your hands again can feel terrifying. In this episode, we're gently unpacking why surrender feels so unsafe after grief, what control is really doing for your heart, and how God isn't asking you to release your child—but to release the unbearable weight of trying to protect yourself from ever being hurt again. Inside this conversation, you'll discover… Why surrender often feels threatening after trauma, not comforting How control becomes a survival response—not a personality flaw What the story of Noah teaches us about trusting God with what we've never seen How surrender isn't about certainty—it's about relationship If you've been bracing yourself, gripping tightly, or trying to stay one step ahead of pain, this episode is for you. God is not asking you to be fearless—He's inviting you to be held. And you don't have to walk into that alone. Press play and let Him meet you right where you are.   📘 THE GRIEF ROADMAP — WAITLIST OPEN If you're longing for ongoing support, community, and a more structured path through grief, the Grief Roadmap waitlist is open now.
