I’ve been where you are, so I know some of the struggles you are dealing with. I know it’s hard to get out of bed, hard to face this new reality you’ve been thrown into, hard to believe that you will ever find joy in this world again.

If you are a Christian woman, you know you are supposed to “just trust God’s perfect plan”…but it doesn’t seem very perfect, does it?

You may wonder if you can even trust God again. Why didn’t he save your child? Why didn’t he hear your prayers? Does he even care?

These are big questions that need time and consideration. They need to be answered if you are going to continue on your faith journey.

If you are fully aware that without your faith, you will not survive this heartbreak… but your faith is shaken to its core and doesn’t feel like it will hold up, I understand. That’s where I once was, too. After losing Logan, my faith in a good God who controls everything in the universe was shaken. I had to do a deep dive with the Holy Spirit, and I asked all the hard questions. Questions that a lot of Christians don’t ask. Either because they never go through such a deep crisis, or because they are taught in the church not to ask questions. But I needed answers, and I wasn’t going to stop looking until the Holy Spirit gave me some!

I am in a different place now…not “over” losing my son, Logan, but at peace with it. It wasn’t easy and it took a while to get there! Amidst my deep grief, I had to sort through all my questions and emotions and come to a place where I could hear Jesus whisper truths into my spirit.

What I have come to realize is that it would have been so much quicker and better if I had had someone to walk with me. Someone with whom I could process my thoughts and feelings. Someone to validate my questions and help me find the answers. A friend who could handle my grief and my process of coming to terms with the life I now had to live without my child. If you are feeling the same way, I want you to know, you do have someone.

With a mix of compassion, experience, and a theology that has been forged in the fire, I want to help you understand your new reality from a faith-based perspective. I want to point you to the healer, Jesus, and let the Word of God have the last say in your grief.

I know from experience that right now, nothing is more important than keeping your faith intact. Because the only way you are going to get through this is by leaning on God.

If you are feeling unsure, take the first step by setting up a free 15-minute consultation call with me.

Or if you know it’s time and you are ready to move forward in your grief journey, you have two options. Go ahead and book a paid session below for a longer conversation, or join a support group.

One of the easiest ways to get started on the path to healing is to join a support group with other grieving Christian moms who are in the same boat as you are. I run them quarterly, so if there isn’t one currently available, put your name on the wait list!

Any step you take will be in the right direction.

I am saying this as gently as I can: Your life doesn’t have to stop because your child’s did. God has more for you. He has more for you to do, and he doesn’t want you on the sidelines of life forever. You are needed here on this Earth!

Dear sweet mama, you don’t have to slink away into the shadows, a shell of your former self. You can learn and grow, and through this experience, someday you may even blossom. Let’s get to it.
