    What can a flock of sheep teach us about grief?

    What can a flock of sheep teach us about grief? Surprisingly… quite a lot. In this episode of Good Mourning, Mom, Julia reflects on the beautiful and unexpected lessons about grief found in The Sheep Detectives. George’s sheep have an unusual gift: whenever something painful happens, they can simply choose to forget it. But when their beloved shepherd dies, they discover that forgetting the pain would also mean forgetting him. And he is too important to forget. Through Scripture, stones of remembrance, and the sheep’s journey beyond the safety of their pasture, we explore what can happen when we choose to remember—even when remembering hurts. Grief is not a punishment for love. It can be a place for our love to go. And the suffering we would never have chosen can, over time, produce perseverance, character, hope, compassion, courage, and even beauty. Maybe healing isn't learning how to forget. Maybe it's becoming strong enough to remember.

    When Grief Hijacks Your Nervous System

    Grief isn't just something you feel—it changes the way your brain and body respond to the world around you. In this solo episode, Julia shares her own recent experience of being "hijacked" by grief and anxiety, explaining why our nervous systems often react as though we're in danger long after the crisis has passed. Together, we'll explore what happens when old alarm systems keep firing, why emotional pain can feel so overwhelming, and how healing begins by recognizing what's happening instead of fighting against it. If you've ever wondered why your reactions seem bigger than the situation in front of you—or why grief continues to surface long after the loss—this conversation is for you. Healing doesn't happen by pretending the alarms aren't there. It happens by learning that you are finally safe enough to turn them off. 🤍 Need someone to walk with you through your own grief? I offer one-on-one grief coaching in a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can process your loss, make sense of what you're experiencing, and begin moving forward with hope.

    Hettie Harless - God is the Author of My Story - Pt. 1

    From the time she was a little girl, Hettie dreamed of being a mother. But when infertility became part of her story, she found herself facing questions she never expected to ask and pain she never expected to carry. In this episode, Hettie shares her journey through longing, disappointment, and the struggle to reconcile her deepest desires with a God who didn't promise the outcome she hoped for. She speaks honestly about drifting from her faith, wrestling with unmet expectations, and ultimately discovering that God's presence remained faithful even in the uncertainty. This conversation is a powerful reminder that faith is not trusting God only when we get what we want—it's learning to trust Him even when the future is unclear. Whether you've experienced infertility, unanswered prayers, or a season where God felt distant, Hettie's story offers hope, honesty, and encouragement for the journey. www.goodmourningcoaching.com
