    Peace Doesn't Mean You're Done Grieving You may have felt it before — that fleeting moment of calm when the tears pause, and suddenly guilt sneaks in. "If I can feel peace, does that mean I'm moving on?" Friend, that moment isn't proof that you're done grieving. It's evidence that God is still holding you. Peace doesn't erase the ache. It walks beside it. And when you allow God to meet you right where the sorrow still lives, you'll begin to see that peace and grief can coexist in the same heart. Inside this episode, you'll discover: The truth about what peace really is (and what it's not) How to recognize peace as a sign of God's faithfulness, not your forgetting Why surrendering control allows peace to deepen and stay The simple way to let peace become a resting place, not a destination If you've been afraid that peace means letting go of your child's memory, this conversation will set your heart free.

    You may wonder how a heart that's been shattered could ever hold love again. How can you care for others when your own grief feels so heavy? In today's episode, I share what I've witnessed in the 42 grieving moms who've walked through The Grief Roadmap — a kind of love and compassion that can only be explained by the presence of the Holy Spirit. Even in the deepest ache, something miraculous happens when grieving hearts gather together. God shows up in the middle of our pain, and through His Spirit, love begins to flow again — not because we're strong, but because He is. In this episode, you'll learn: How God's presence allows grieving moms to love even in loss Why community is vital for healing and spiritual strength What Paul's letter to the Philippians teaches us about finding joy in suffering How showing up, even when it's all you can do, honors God and opens your heart to peace Friend, if you're longing to understand how love can still live inside the pain, this conversation will remind you that you're not walking alone. The same Spirit that comforted Paul in prison is the one comforting you right now. Press play and be reminded — love remains because God does.
