About this episode
This episode explores the heavy feelings of grief and the search for purpose after the loss of a child, emphasizing that one's purpose is greater than what is currently visible.
When you don't know why you are still here — when your child is not — that is one of the heaviest places a grieving mom can stand. And if you have already said out loud what so many moms say — I don't have a purpose anymore. I don't even know why I am still here — I want you to know that question deserves to be honored. And that is exactly what this episode does. This episode is the next step in a journey. In this episode, you'll discover... ✨ Why the your purpose is far greater than what you can see right now — and why it doesn't have to be figured out today ✨ What three scriptures say about what was known about you before the foundation of the world was laid ✨ Why the fact that you are still here is not a surprise to God — and what that means for today ✨ What your purpose might actually look like in this sacred time — even when you cannot see it yet You are still here. And so is He. Right here. Right now. In the messy middle of all of it. 👉 Grief Survival Guide — Free Download Watch a Free Grief Workshop Hosted by Teresa on The Hidden Layers of Child Loss The Grief Mentor Podcast | Teresa Davis | Your Grief Mentor
