162 // Pain Is Keeping Me Connected to my Child Or Is It?

Are you afraid to hope? Do you believe that moving forward means moving away from your child? That letting go of the pain means letting go of the connection? Friend, I know the fear of releasing pain. It can feel like the only tangible thing left connecting you to your child. But what if pain isn’t the glue holding your love together?  In today’s episode,  We’ll explore: ✨ A powerful story from a grief retreat where we witnessed supernatural hope firsthand. ✨ The difference between biblical hope and wishful thinking. ✨ Why pain is NOT the only thing connecting you to your child. ✨ What it means to surrender pain and allow God’s hope to take its place. Psalm 27:13-14 reminds us: "Yet I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD."   Six Free Ways The Grief Mentor Can Support You: Free Grief Survival Guide – The exact steps I used to keep me alive in that first year.
