When the world is loud and confusing, even the strongest believer can struggle to know what's real and what's not. But when you're grieving your child, that battle becomes even harder. Your mind and heart are already tender, your emotions raw, and every headline, opinion, or social media post can feel like another weight on top of your grief. That's why you need a filter—a faith-based way to sort through the noise and discern what's true, what's false, and what you can safely let go. In this first episode of a 3-part series, Teresa shares how to build a simple FAITH filter to protect your heart and mind after child loss. You'll learn how to: Guard your heart when the world's voices feel louder than God's Recognize what you're taking in without even realizing it Filter what you read, what you hear from others, and what you start to believe about God, your child, and your future Apply a practical acronym (FAITH) to test every thought and message you absorb Friend, discerning truth from lies is hard enough when life is going smoothly. In grief, it can feel nearly impossible. But you don't have to do it alone—and God has given us a way forward. 👉 Listen now to learn how to start building your faith filter today.

Today's episode is a little different. Instead of a structured teaching, I want to pause with you for a moment of reflection. The news of Charlie Kirk's death has shaken many people, and for grieving moms and dads, it can stir grief in unexpected ways. When someone young, bold, and outspoken is suddenly gone, it reminds us of how fragile life is, and it brings our own losses back to the surface. If you've been feeling the weight of recent events—or if you're wondering how to hold both grief and faith together—I invite you to listen in. This is a space for us to remember that while darkness is real, it will never overcome the light of Jesus. What You'll Take Away from This Episode: Why national tragedies can stir deep personal grief for parents who have lost a child How Scripture speaks into the reality of cold hearts in the last days The difference between the world's response to tragedy and God's promise of light A reminder that prayer and closeness to Jesus are what sustain us in seasons of unbearable heaviness Listen Next: [Episode 188: Why Do Triggers Hurt So Much?

Friend, does your soul feel restless after loss? Maybe your mind won't stop racing, your heart never stops aching, and no matter how tired you are, your body doesn't find rest. I remember feeling that way after Andrew died — like nothing could quiet the storm inside me. But Psalm 23 tells us something different: "He leads me beside still waters; He refreshes my soul." What does that really mean when your life feels anything but peaceful? In this episode, we'll talk about: Why grief makes your soul feel so thirsty and unsettled What W. Phillip Keller, a real-life shepherd, teaches us about "still waters" The difference between the world's quick fixes and the refreshment Jesus offers How to let the Good Shepherd restore your soul right where you are If you've been desperate for peace, this conversation will remind you — the Shepherd knows exactly where to lead you. 👉 Listen Next: Episode 211 — Overwhelmed by the Everyday After Child Loss: Small Steps That Actually Help Episode 197 — Faith After the Funeral: Why What You Believe About God Changes Everything Episode 186 — Will I Ever Get Better?

Is God Absent in My Grief? Living with Unanswered Questions After Child Loss Have you ever whispered in the dark, "God, where are You?" When your child is no longer walking beside you, the silence can feel unbearable. The ache of unanswered questions presses in: Why my child? Why now? Why this way? In this episode, we step into the raw space of those questions and open Scripture to see how others—like Habakkuk, Job, and David—wrestled with God in their grief. You'll hear how God responded to them, and how His timing and presence speak into the silence we face today. Together we'll explore: Why unanswered questions don't mean unanswered prayers How God's timing differs from our urgency The hope hidden in Habakkuk's cry: "Lord, how long?" Why waiting on God is not abandonment but love You don't have to erase your questions to have faith. God is not absent—He is working in ways you may not see yet. _________________________________________________________________ Grief Mentor Resources: Seven 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.

#206 // Surrendering to the Love That Remains: Holding On While Letting Go After Child Loss If your child is no longer walking beside you, the word surrender can feel impossible. As grieving moms, our arms were never meant to be empty, and yet we face the heartbreaking reality of placing our children back into God's hands when He calls them home. In today's episode, we open Scripture to Hannah's story in 1 Samuel. She longed for a child, prayed with tears, and when God finally answered, she made a vow to give her son back to Him. Her story doesn't erase our grief, but it does show us what it means to lean on God when everything in us wants to hold on tight. Together we'll explore what trust means for Hannah—and what trust means for us as grieving mothers who had to surrender without choice. In this episode you'll hear: 🌿 Why surrender isn't about letting go of love, but placing our children into God's eternal care 🌿 Hannah's story of anguish, answered prayer, and ultimate surrender 🌿 What trust meant for Hannah—and what trust means for a grieving mom today 🌿 A simple daily practice to help you take one step of trust at a time Friend, surrender will never feel easy. But you don't walk into it alone. The same God who is holding your child is holidng you too. _________________________________________________________________ Grief Mentor Resources: Seven 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.

This week's episode flows right out of the Grief Mentor Workshop, and my heart is still so full. One verse rose to the surface again and again, becoming the theme of our time together: 👉 "I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the Lord has done." — Psalm 118:17 Inside this episode, I share: 💔 The power of one simple thought shift — when God's Word replaces the lies we repeat to ourselves in grief. 🌿 How Romans 12:2 shows us that transformation begins with the renewing of our minds, not big dramatic moments. 🔄 Why truth often needs to be heard on repeat before it takes root (even Peter reminded us in 2 Peter 1:12). 🙌 The holy moments that happen when grieving hearts come together and cry out to God. ✨ Encouragement for your waiting — that God is at work even when you can't see it. This is an episode about hope, truth, and learning to live again after child loss. My prayer is that Psalm 118:17 becomes a declaration for you, too: "I will not die, but live to tell what the Lord has done." 📖 Scriptures Mentioned: Psalm 118:17 Romans 12:2 2 Peter 1:12 _________________________________________________________________ Grief Mentor Resources: Seven 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.

You'll hear from Rachel, a mom who discovered that setting healthy boundaries wasn't selfish — it was the key to protecting her peace in grief. We'll explore: Why grief exhaustion is different from any tiredness you've felt before How other people's opinions about your grief can multiply your fatigue Biblical truths that show boundaries are God's idea, not just a human coping tool How to create space to grieve your way without guilt Friend, you don't need permission from anyone else to walk through grief the way God is leading you.

In this fourth episode of our summer series, Moments That Make You Smile, we're talking about what it means to see differently—to recognize the ways God still shows up in your everyday grief. Inside this reflection, we explore: Why glimpses of heaven are so hard to see at first How surrender opens your heart to see what grief tries to block What scripture says about eternity—and why that ache inside you is no accident How nature, worship, and even silence can become reminders that your child is not gone… just ahead of you 💭 Ask yourself: Are you willing to see it? Because heaven may be closer than you think. ___________________________________________________________________________________ MEMORIAL DAY SALE EXTENDED-BOOK HERE Was this episode a lifeline for you? 💛 Leave a Review 💬 If this episode comforted you or gave you hope, would you leave a written review?

But God didn't waste any of it. Through the Holy Spirit, He met me right there in the broken pieces. 📍Inside this episode: The gentle voice of the Holy Spirit in the middle of exhaustion What communion reminded me about Jesus, brokenness, and calling And the quiet, convicting question you may need to face in your own grief journey 🎧 Listen to my guest interview on Always Andy's Mom – Episode 297: https://www.alwaysandysmom.com/episodes/teresa-davis 🎵 Closing Song Credit: "In Christ Alone" by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend – Used with gratitude and respect for its message of hope and strength in Christ.

What do you do when forgiveness feels like betrayal? When someone's reckless actions shattered your world… When the person you can't forgive is yourself… Forgiveness after the death of your child isn't a quick fix or a cliché—it's sacred, gut-wrenching work. And in today's episode, Teresa shares honestly what it really looks like to walk this road, not because it's easy, but because your soul is worth it. 📍 In this two-part teaching, you'll hear: How to recognize the voice of shame and distinguish it from the Shepherd's love Why grief distorts memory—and what to do when guilt won't let go What it means to surrender the outcome you couldn't change Why forgiveness is not approval, but a choice for your peace How to release others—even when they've never said "I'm sorry" What Scripture says about God's justice, boundaries, and finding peace when the person responsible walks free This isn't about pretending you're okay. It's about learning how to breathe again—with Jesus holding every shattered piece of your heart.

Mother's Day can feel like a celebration for everyone else—while you're silently breaking inside. Whether this is your first Mother's Day without your child or your fifteenth, the ache is real and persistent. In Episode 175, Teresa offers biblical guidance and deeply personal encouragement for grieving moms who are dreading the approach of Mother's Day. With honesty, tenderness, and faith, she unpacks three scriptural truths to help you honor your grief, create space for hope, and let God meet you in the pain. 3 Key Takeaways: 👉 You Don't Have to Celebrate You're allowed to grieve on Mother's Day. God honors your sorrow—and there is no pressure to perform or pretend. If you have surviving children who want to celebrate you, hold space for them too. You can set boundaries around when and how you gather, but don't miss the chance to receive their love. Grieving as a family is hard, but connection brings life. 👉 God Still Calls You Mother Psalm 56:8 reminds us that God keeps track of every tear. Even when others forget, He never stops calling you His beloved daughter—and still sees you as a mother. 👉 Hope and Grief Can Coexist Psalm 34:18 says the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Your pain doesn't cancel your faith—hope can rise, even in your tears. If you need support this Mother's Day, this episode is your safe space.

Grief after child loss is more than a moment—it's a world we now live in. And unless you've walked it, it's hard to understand the layers that come with it. In Episode 174, Teresa pulls back the curtain on what grieving parents carry every single day: the mental anguish, the silent triggers, the feeling of living in two worlds—the one before and the one after. This isn't just about sadness. It's about the fight for identity, the moments of guilt and loneliness, the fear of forgetting and the ache of remembering. But there is hope. There is companionship in the suffering. And there is One who walks with you in it all. 3 Key Takeaways: 👉 The Mind-Battle No One Sees How an unsuspecting word, sight, sound, or memory can create a domino effect in your mind and heart that leads to deep sadness—and the gentle practice that steadies your thoughts. 👉 Everyday Triggers You Didn't See Coming Grocery stores, birthday parties, high school graduations—mapping yours so they don't blindside you. 👉 Hope's Open Invitation A single verse that opens the door to rest—even when your soul feels shut down. _________________________________________________________________ Grief Mentor Resources: Seven 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.

Have you ever felt like God disappeared just when you needed Him most? When the diagnosis came. When the relationship fell apart. When the betrayal cut deep. When your child loved died. What do you do when the unexpected shakes your world? When the grief is too much to bear? When hope feels like a faraway memory? In this powerful episode, we journey through John 20:1–18 and step into the shoes of Mary Magdalene—a woman shattered by sorrow, yet fiercely faithful. Her world collapsed the moment Jesus died… but she didn't walk away. Instead, she stayed. And what happened next changed everything. 🔸 Why did Jesus choose Mary as the first to see Him after the resurrection? 🔸 What does her story reveal about the way God meets us in grief? 🔸 And how can you begin to hear His voice again when your life has gone dark? This isn't just a Bible story—it's your invitation. To seek Him when it hurts. To stay when it's easier to run. To listen for His voice when all you can hear is your own sorrow. And when He calls your name, friend—you'll know it's Him. Seven 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.
