The Grief Mentor | Life After Child Loss, Grief Stages, Purpose in Pain, Grieving Parents, Bereavement, Questioning God‪.‬ Teresa Davis

The first year without your child has come and gone.  All the dreaded first's lurk about in the darkness, sending unspoken threats, that cause anxiety and fear as they approach, telling you, you won't survive it.  
But here you are. 
You did survive it.  
And you're wondering where do I go from here?  Surviving the first year seemed so far in the distance after your child's death, because you were climbing a mountain every day, reliving it over and over. And the thought of still being alive in 352 days never crossed your mind.  Or maybe it did.  
Today I teach you what it takes to learn to live again after the first year of your child's death. 
The next Grief Mentor Support Group is June 13th, questions need to be submitted by June 11th. This is a safe place for bereaved parents to come and just be with like minded grieving parents who understand what its like to have your child leave this earth.

Dear Grieving Moms and Dads,
When your child dies yesterday will always feel better than tomorrow. Life after child loss will never be the same and you don't have to worry about hearing any quippy comments here on my podcast to "practive" gratitude or "choose" joy. 
Gratitude is something you experience and joy comes when your hearts connect. But what about the inbetween. 
How do you face tomorrow when yesterday was better? And what about confidence that your going to survive, when does that come?
Today we cover 3 points that must be part of your grief journey for you to face tomorrow when yesterday was better with confidence.
The next Grief Mentor Support Group is June 13th, questions need to be submitted by June 12th. This is a safe place for bereaved parents to come and just be with like minded grieving parents who understand what its like to have your child leave this earth.

It is to my great sorrow, that a dear friend, Tom Franklin, left his earthly home this past week.  Today, I'm replaying the podcast we did together and honor of his great example of living, loving and serving well.
To honor Tom's memory donations can be made to New Life Christian Missions. PO box 647, Floyd Knobs, Indiana 47119.  
To Charlotte, and Tom's family, my heart deeply grieves with yours.  Tom embraced Tony and I with our loss of Andrew in such a way as to inspire us to cling to our faith of one day, joining our son.  He encouraged and blessed us by his kind affirming words. Not once, not twice, but every time we had the privilege to speak to him.  
When I heard the news this past week. My heart sank for his precious wife and family.  But I must say that my heart also smiled that he heard the words he's preached about his whole life. Well done my good and faithful servant! Welcome home.  
We will miss you, Tom.  What a privilege to have walked this earth knowing you. 
 As the words of Casting Crowns comforts our hearts, Tom has laid his crowns at the feet of Jesus, as he joined with all of heaven in the everlasting song, Holy Holy Holy is the lamb upon the throne.  
As you listen today take to heart Tom's wisdom and love of people. What he has to say about suffering, grief, lament and God's goodness.
Join me as we listen and honor a legacy of a life well lived.

What are you praying for? 
We live in an instant society, instant access, instant oatmeal, instant results. When we sit down to eat at a restaurant, if the waitress isn't there immediately to take our order, or if we have to wait more than 10 or 15 minutes for our food to arrive, we start asking, "What's taking so long."  
We want what we want when we want it.  Well, my  friend, that is not how God works.  
What are you praying for?  Is it worth the wait?  
Join me today to see how to pray and wait for the answer.
