    283. Why Do I Feel So Lonely? Child Loss Grief, Isolation, and Finding Your Way Back

    There is a kind of loneliness after child loss that no one warned you about. It is not the absence of people. It is the presence of everyone — and still feeling completely alone. Because the one person you want in the room is not there. And that absence has a weight to it that settles into your body, follows you everywhere, and whispers something in the dark that is hard to unhear. This episode is for the mom who has been white-knuckling her way through her days feeling like nobody really sees what this is costing her. In this episode, you'll discover: Why grief loneliness is different from any other kind of loneliness — and why it makes complete sense that you feel it even in a room full of people who love you What the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 reveals about what God actually does when we hit our breaking point — and why it matters for where you are right now The honest question behind Matthew 7:9-11 that many grieving moms have asked in the quiet of their hearts — and what Jesus' answer really means What begins to shift when you learn to lean into the still small voice — and why His presence is not a feeling but a lifeline You do not have to figure out the forever. You do not have to understand the why. He is not asking that of you today. He is only asking you to lean in — just enough for this next moment, this next hour, this next day.

    282. Grief Exhaustion: Permission to Rest When You Have Nothing Left

    You are tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. And somewhere in the back of your mind you already know that — but you keep going anyway. Because stopping feels wrong. Because everyone around you still needs something. And summer is coming and you can already feel the weight of what it used to look like pressing up against what it looks like now. This episode is for the mom who has been holding everyone else together and has forgotten that she is allowed to be held too. The mom who thinks that pushing harder is the answer. The mom who is existing instead of living and doesn't even realize it anymore. Today Teresa gives you something she wishes someone had given her much earlier in her own grief journey — permission to rest. And more than that — she shows you exactly what that looks like right now, in this season, in this life that looks nothing like it used to. In this episode you'll discover... Why the habits you created just to survive grief may no longer be serving you — and what to do about it The two areas Teresa wants you to focus on right now that will significantly affect your grief journey years from now What rest actually looks like when you are a grieving mom — and why it is not selfish, not lazy, and not optional What God's Word says about your permission to stop, breathe, and be led beside peaceful streams  Give yourself permission to rest today. He is already there waiting for you. 👉 Become a Grief Mentor Insider and be the first to hear about something new coming this summer. The Grief Mentor Podcast / Teresa Davis / Your Grief Mentor

    281. Mother's Day Reflections: Grief, Love, and Loss

    Mother's Day can look so many different ways when you are a mom who is grieving the loss of your child. Maybe it was harder than you expected. Maybe grief showed up in a moment you weren't prepared for. Maybe you sat in a room full of people and felt completely alone. Whatever this past weekend looked like for you — you are not alone, and you are seen. In this episode, Teresa sits down with you — to share, straight from her own Mother's Day, including a moment at church that she wasn't prepared for, a word the Holy Spirit spoke over her, and something she wants every grieving mom to carry into the week ahead. In this episode, you'll discover: Why grief has a way of showing up in the most ordinary and beautiful moments — and what to do when it does What the Holy Spirit reminded Teresa in the middle of her own heaviness — and why it matters for you too Why the waiting room of grief is not what you think it is — and what your one job is while you're in it The greatest courage Teresa has ever witnessed on this earth — and why it belongs to you You don't have to have it all together today. You don't have to manufacture peace or force hope. You just have to draw near. He is already close — closer than your next breath — and He is still writing your story. 👉 Grab your free Grief Survival Guide  The Grief Mentor Podcast / Teresa Davis / Your Grief Mentor

    279. When Mother's Day Hurts: What Every Grieving Mom Needs to Hear

    Mother's Day is coming — and you already feel it. Maybe it started in the grocery store when you saw the flowers. Maybe it was a commercial. Maybe it was someone asking if you had anything special planned. And something inside of you just stopped. This episode is for you — the grieving mom who is dreading the day that the rest of the world is getting ready to celebrate. You are still a mother. That did not change when your child left this earth. But part of this day feels missing now — and your heart is torn between what was and what is. Whether you are grieving your only child or carrying the weight of loving the children still beside you while mourning the one who is not — this episode was made for where you are right now. If Mother's Day feels more like something to survive than something to celebrate, stay with me. What you'll find in this episode might be exactly what your heart needs before the day arrives. In this episode you'll discover: Why the pain of Mother's Day often starts long before the day itself — and why your heart is not wrong for feeling it What scripture says about how God sees your grief — and why you don't have to conform to the world's version of what Mother's Day is supposed to look like What Jesus did from the cross for his mother — and what that means for you this Mother's Day How to give yourself permission to navigate this day in a way that lets your whole family breathe You do not have to perform okayness this Mother's Day. You do not have to go to the places that will cost you more than you have to give. You have permission to protect your heart — and the hearts of the people around you — while still honoring the love that will never leave you. God sees you. And he has not left you alone in this. 👉 Teresa's Grief Worship Playlist —HERE 👉 Grief Survival Guide — HERE The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor

    278. The Hunger You Can't Name: Grief, Food & Finding Your Way Back

    You didn't plan for this. The midnight trips to the kitchen. The plate of food you don't remember finishing. Or the smell of dinner that sends you straight to another room because you can't bear it. After loss, something shifts in your relationship with food — and most grieving moms have no idea it's even happening. This episode brings language to something you've been living but couldn't quite explain. Registered dietitian and faith-centered food freedom coach Brittany Braswell joins us to talk about what grief actually does to your body — and why the way you're eating (or not eating) right now makes complete sense. In this episode, you'll discover... ✨ Why grief disconnects you from your body's natural hunger and fullness cues — and what that disconnect actually feels like from the inside ✨ The difference between physical cravings and emotional cravings, and why knowing which one you're feeling changes everything ✨ How restriction and overeating can both be grief responses — and why neither one means you're out of control ✨ A simple 15-second body scan practice you can do today to start finding your way back to yourself You are not broken. You are a mom carrying the heaviest thing a human heart can hold — and your body is doing the best it can to survive it. God has not left you in this. He is present even here, even in this, even now.

    276. Am I Always Going to Feel This Much Pain After Child Loss?

    You've asked it in the car. In the middle of the night. Standing in a grocery store aisle when something on the shelf reminded you of them and the weight of it nearly took you out.  Am I always going to feel this much pain ? It's one of the most honest questions a grieving mom asks — and it deserves an honest answer. This episode doesn't offer you a timeline or a promise that it gets easier by a certain date. What it does offer is something more grounded than that — a look at what the pain actually does over time, and who stays close to you inside of it. In this episode, you'll discover... — What the Hebrew word qarob — translated as "close" in Psalm 34:18 — actually means, and why it changes everything about how you hear that verse — Why the word God chose for "brokenhearted" in that same passage is not soft or poetic — and what it tells you about the heart He draws near to — An honest, compassionate answer to whether the pain ever changes — and what shifts, and why — What it means to learn to carry love and loss in the same heart without being destroyed by either one If you want something steady coming into your week — an uplifting word, easy links to the podcast wherever you listen, and a link to the blog for the days when reading feels better than listening — come join the Grief Mentor Insider.

    277. Why Do I Feel Guilty for Having a Good Day? What Grief Guilt Really Means

    There is a moment that almost every grieving mom knows. You had a good day — maybe even just a good hour — and before you could fully exhale, the guilt came rushing in. How dare I feel okay. How dare I laugh. How dare I have a good day when my child is no longer physically here with me. If that is where you are, I want you to know that what you are experiencing is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It is not a sign that you loved your child less. And it is not something that gets talked about honestly very often. In this episode, you'll discover... ✨ Why guilt shows up after a good day — and what it is actually trying to do inside your grief ✨ The difference between guilt and the Holy Spirit's conviction — and why so many grieving moms confuse the two ✨ What the Greek word for condemnation really means — and why it changes everything about the verdict guilt keeps pronouncing over you ✨ The truth about your love for your child that guilt has been keeping you from hearing You are not a bad mother for having a good day. You are not betraying your child by laughing, by breathing easier, by letting life be okay for a few hours. And God's Word has something very specific to say about the verdict guilt keeps delivering. Come and listen. You are safe here. 👉 Grab your free Grief Survival Guide The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor
