About this podcast
Have you ever experienced a soul crushing loss? Was your world so shattered that even breathing hurt? Did you feel that God had failed you? Or that you might never recover from or be able to go on with your life?
I have. On February 7, 2022, my life changed in the most unimaginable way, my eleven year old son, Ethan, my baby died unexpectedly. He was my heart.
In the days that followed, I focused on what needed to be done making sure my daughter, his sister was supported, the funeral arrangements made, all of the necessary things were done.
But in the days and weeks that followed, I had to face what my life had now become.
In this podcast, I will share with you what grief looks like, but I will also show you what it looks like to journey through it to the other side.
If you're still stuck, unable to move through what has hurt you so deeply, then I'm inviting you on this journey with me as we draw closer to Jesus and rise out of the ashes of grief to live a life filled with joy.
Grief is different for all of us. If I can serve you as you travel your road from grief to joy, I would love to connect.
