    Widowed with Seven Children: Grief, Faith, and the God Who Stays Carissa Yoder

    What happens when the love of your life dies — and you have seven children? In this episode of Grieving with God, I sit down with Carrissa Yoder to talk about widowhood, parenting through loss, and what faith looks like when your world has been torn apart. Carrissa shares about losing her husband — the man she deeply loved — as well as the grief of losing her sister. She speaks honestly about how each of her children has processed loss differently, and how surprising and humbling that has been as a mother. We talk about: The reality of the second year of grief — and how it can feel harder in new ways What it’s like to want to do nothing but grieve How community showed up in ways she didn’t expect The tension of trusting God while living with deep pain Parenting children who are grieving in their own unique ways The role of therapy in walking through loss as a family How grief evolves over time instead of simply “getting better” She reminds us that acknowledging pain does not mean we doubt God’s goodness.
