Mothers Day After Losing a Child How to Pray Through the Fog of Grief Jennie Lusko Interview
About this episode
Rachel Wojo interviews Jennie Lusko about navigating prayer and grief after losing a child, especially around Mother's Day.
f Mother's Day feels heavy this year because your arms ache for a child in heaven, this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with my friend Jennie Lusko, author of The Fight to Flourish and mama to a daughter in heaven, for one of the most honest conversations I've had on this podcast about what prayer really looks like when grief takes your words away. Jennie shares what she prayed in those first moments of loss, the seasons when God felt silent, why she and I both had to switch Bible translations just to read Scripture again, and the picture of a seed planted in dark soil that changed how she understood the fog of grief. She also shares a word for the mom who's still in it, still surviving, still waiting for the fog to lift. At the end, Jennie prays specifically for moms walking into Mother's Day with a heavy heart. If you've ever prayed from that place of desperation, when you had no words left, my book Desperate Prayers: Embracing the Power of Prayer in Life's Darkest Moments was written for you.
