Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I don't even know who I am anymore”? The woman you were before—the one who laughed, planned, and lived with purpose—feels like a stranger now. And when grief has unraveled the person you used to be… where do you even begin? In this episode, we're exploring the three identity shifts grieving moms face: Who you were before grief Who you are right now Who you're becoming in Christ

Friend, this episode is real and raw. Some weeks, grief doesn't announce itself. It just settles in… silently, heavily. This past week, I hit a wall. Grief crept in through unexpected places—editing a hard episode, watching a documentary, reliving sacred memories, and sitting in a graduation ceremony at the very place where Andrew once received his diploma. But God didn't waste any of it. Through the Holy Spirit, He met me right there in the broken pieces.

Summer doesn't feel the same when your child is no longer by your side. Family vacations, cookouts, and beach days can become painful reminders of what you've lost. In this episode, Teresa shares 5 honest, faith-filled steps to help grieving moms navigate vacation season with grace, courage, and sacred intention. Whether you're facing your first summer or your fifth, this episode will help you breathe again, prepare for what's ahead, and find moments of peace that gently hold your sorrow.

Why Your First Thought Matters More Than You Think Grief often crashes in the moment you wake up—before your feet even hit the floor. But what if your first thought could become a place of peace, not panic? What if there was one small habit that could change the way you face every hard day? In this powerful and personal episode, Teresa shares the morning practice that shaped her own healing after losing her son—and how it can anchor your heart too. This isn't about checking a box or being “strong in faith.” It's about gaining tools to use before your day begins.

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.

You want to believe again—but you don't know how. You used to feel close to God, but now… He feels so far away. And faith? It doesn't come easy anymore. In this tender episode, Teresa gently unpacks what faith really looks like after the loss of your child—and how to move toward God when your heart is shattered. It's not about striving harder. It's not about doing more. It's about surrendering in the silence and letting Him meet you right where you are. If you've whispered, “I need more faith” or wondered, “Why can't I feel God anymore?”—this episode is your invitation to lean in.

Have you ever been singing in church when one lyric sends you spiraling back into the worst day of your life? Or you're walking through the grocery store when your child's favorite ice cream cracks open a wave of grief that leaves you breathless? Friend, those moments don't have to own you. In today's episode, Teresa shares the neuroscience behind grief triggers, the biblical story of Peter's restoration, and a gentle, research-backed method for replacing painful memories with ones that bring peace. You'll learn why your body responds the way it does—and what to do when it feels like your mind is stuck on replay. Key Takeaways: The Body's Alarm – why your brain stores trauma through sensory triggers Rewire vs. Repeat – what happens if painful memories aren't replaced The Scene Swap – how recalling one good moment can shift everything Truth That Sticks – why pairing memory with scripture brings lasting peace MEMORIAL DAY SALE: DISCOUNTED GRIEF MENTOR SESSION

When your child is no longer walking beside you, how do you celebrate their life without being crushed by the ache of their absence? In this deeply heartfelt episode, Teresa walks you through three gentle truths that help you hold space for both your grief and the enduring love you carry for your child. You'll discover why honoring your child still matters, even when it hurts—and how joy and sorrow can coexist in sacred ways. Whether you're in your first year of loss or further down the road, this episode offers soft, faith-filled encouragement to help you celebrate without guilt and find meaning in remembrance. 3 Key Takeaways:

Grief doesn't just impact your heart—it touches every relationship you have. And when you've lost a child, the need to protect your peace becomes essential. In today's episode, Teresa shares the truth about setting boundaries after child loss—from managing your closest relationships to protecting yourself from painful comments on the outside. You'll learn why boundaries are sacred, how to express what you need, and how faith-filled clarity can change your healing journey. This isn't about shutting people out. It's about honoring your grief and letting others know how to love you well. 3 Key Takeaways:

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:

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:

Have you ever felt like the darkness might swallow every bit of light left in your life? In this powerful episode, Teresa explores the critical role of hope in your grief journey—especially when you feel like you have nothing left to give. Drawing inspiration from Holocaust survivors Viktor Frankl, Anne Frank, and Corrie ten Boom, she reveals why hope is far more than a "feel-good word." It's your lifeline. You'll hear how even in the most unthinkable suffering, the human spirit—anchored in meaning, purpose, and faith—can persevere. And you'll discover the proven ways you can begin building hope again, no matter how shattered you feel today.  Takeaways:

Are your thoughts wearing you out? Are you clinging to busyness, just trying to keep the pain at bay? In today's episode, I'm teaching you a powerful tool that could be the lifeline your weary soul has been needing: thought management. We're not talking about silencing your grief. We're talking about inviting God into the middle of it—one thought at a time. ✨ Inside this episode:

Sometimes, you don't need a plan… You just need someone to sit with you in the quiet. This week, I stepped away from the outline. No script. No formal teaching. Just me—showing up tired, and grateful. Maybe you've been there too. In this unscripted episode, I'm inviting you into a quiet moment of rest—born out of exhaustion, reflection, and God's gentle nearness in the middle of it all.

Easter is filled with celebration for many… but for grieving moms, it can feel like a spotlight on what's missing. While others focus on the resurrection, you may be left asking, What do I do with this pain? What does Easter offer me—right now? In this powerful episode, we're going beyond the empty tomb to explore a moment many overlook: Christ's Ascension.And friend, it holds a promise that might be exactly what your heart is craving this Easter. We'll uncover:

Have you ever thought… “Can I really trust God after this?” Maybe you believed He was good—until your child died. Maybe you trusted His promises—until your future disappeared in an instant. Now you're left wondering:

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.

Have you ever wondered what it was like for Mary—the mother of Jesus—to watch her son suffer and die? Not just her Savior… Her Son. In this Holy Week episode, we're entering into Mary's story through the eyes of a grieving mother. If you've lost a child, this perspective might feel painfully close to home. But friend, it also holds a glimpse of hope you may not have expected. ✨ Inside This Episode: ➤ What Mary's heartbreak reveals about the depth of a mother's love ➤ The one moment at the cross that made me feel seen in my grief ➤ Why your presence matters—even when you feel powerless ➤ The promise hidden in Mary's pain that every grieving mom needs this Easter   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 whispered… "If only I had..." "Why didn't I...?" Friend, you're not alone. Guilt and regret are silent companions in the journey of child loss. But today, I want to help you release what you were never meant to carry. This is an episode you may want to take notes on. We're going deep—and I'm sharing 9 powerful truths that will bring light into the heavy places of your heart. ✨ Inside This Episode: ➤

What if you start to feel a little joy again… and then the fear creeps in? What if God lets it happen again? If you've ever felt frozen by the "what ifs," this episode is for you. Today, I share a deeply personal story that took me right back to the most traumatic moment of my life—and how God gently showed me the difference between fear and truth.

 Have you ever sat in silence, tears falling, unable to speak a single word to God? Do you feel like your inability to pray means you're failing in your faith? Friend, you're not failing—you're grieving. And even in your silence, God is still near. In this episode, I open my heart about the first moments after losing Andrew and what happened to my prayer life in the wake of unspeakable loss. If prayer feels impossible for you right now, this conversation will help you feel seen, safe, and understood.

In this episode, we explore how families can navigate the hard places of grief after the loss of a child, honoring each unique journey while healing together. What You'll Take Away:

Are you afraid to hope? Do you believe that moving forward means moving away from your child? That letting go of the pain means letting go of the connection? Friend, I know the fear of releasing pain. It can feel like the only tangible thing left connecting you to your child. But what if pain isn't the glue holding your love together?  In today's episode,  We'll explore: ✨ A powerful story from a grief retreat where we witnessed supernatural hope firsthand. ✨ The difference between biblical hope and wishful thinking. ✨ Why pain is NOT the only thing connecting you to your child. ✨ What it means to surrender pain and allow God's hope to take its place. Psalm 27:13-14 reminds us: "Yet I am confident I will see the LORD's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD."   Six 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.

Today we are focusing on self care. The steps you need to put into place to create an environment that will support you in your life, where you are right now.   We are building on the theme of the last two episodes on how to face the New Year with hope by putting in place steps that will lead to restoring those peaceful rhythms, and how to use distractions in a healthy productive way.  Today we are discussing the 4 components of self care that go much deeper than a mani/pedi or a massage. The type of self care that creates a foundation to carry you through those heavy grief days.  So I want you take a deep breath, find a comfy place to absorb this information and allow your body and brain to relax and soak it all in. Then listen again and take some notes on what fits your needs.    2 Ways To Take Action 1.

What are healthy distractions in grief? By definition a distraction is something that turns your attention away from something else. It's crucial to find healthy distractions to allow for moments of rest and emotional relief.  Distractions can prevent you from moving into a state of emotional exhaustion that can lead to unhealthy behaviors and unstable mental health. Today were building on what I taught you Tuesday on how to put in place the steps that lead to restoring peaceful rhythms of life.  Let's define what a healthy distraction is and how to implement them into your grief journey in a positive way.   2 ways To Take Action 1.

Restoring rhythms of life is a challenge when life as you know it disappears into the chaos of grief. Now is a great time to start rebuilding those rhythms. Instead of focusing on resolutions that are so often discussed this time of year. Stay away from the chatter on SM and the grocery store magazine headlines about how to start the new year.  Let's you and me focus on what will gently restore some stability in your life.    Today we are discussing how to start slowly and build back those rhythms one step at a time. I can't wait to share my plan with you.   What I'm sharing with you today is exactly what I did to restore my rhythms of life. And this plan can be used regardless of where you are in your grief journey. I call it a reset and I use it still today when live gets out of balance.    2 Ways To Take Action! 1.

Welcome back to day 3 of teaching clips from The Grief Mentor Masterclass. Day 2 was full of great content. If you haven't watched the replay I encourage you to do so. (Email me @teresa@thegriefmentor.com for the replay) I'm sharing a little bit longer clip with you today its about 19 mins. There's much more teaching than what I'm sharing with you, but this segment will give you something to think about. And just like I shared with the people that were there live.... It has the potential to signficiantly move the needle of your grief journey!  Manganing life after child loss is a battle of the mind.  Until you recongize that and use the tools I'm giving you, you will continue to stay stuck. And that's the hard truth friend.  My biggest desire is to make sure you feel loved. Because the last the thing we feel after our child dies is loved. Sharing hard truths with you is also needed, and I pray that you feel loved and adored as you are, but also embrace what needs to change. I hope your ready with pen and paper for todays teaching from the Masterclass.   ****DOORS CLOSE TONIGHT****   THE GRIEF ROADMAP DOORS ARE OPEN!  THE DOORS CLOSE TONIGHT JANURAYT 18TH @ 11:59PM EST  All The Amazing Discounts And Bounes Are Available To You, Right Now!  JOIN ME HERE FOR THE JANUARY 2025 CLASS INSTANT ACCESS BONUS #1 FREE Grief Mentor Session-60 minutes 1:1 to use whenever you need it!

As we start the new year I want to make you aware of how to take better care of your mind, body and soul. We spend alot of time discussing how to mange your mindset and nourish the brokenness of your heart and soul. But today I want to teach you, make you aware of, how your body is absorbing your grief.  Because listen friend, grief is an all encompassing  lifestyle. We just keep going, doing the next thing, often ignoring how our physical bodes are managing the grief inside of us.  I want to bring some awareness to the forefront of your mind to help you recognize the effect that grief is having on your body.  We discuss the 5 signs of repressed grief and how to recognize the physical symptoms that are hiding under the surface.  So you won't be like me and wake up several years later and wonder who the person is looking at you in the mirror. This is a packed episode friend FULL of great information that you need to know and understand, if you want to face the new year in a healthy way.

Grief is a journey, not a destination. But some moments of that journey—moments like the arrival of a new year—can feel impossibly heavy, reminding us of the absence of those we love.  For those of us that have  lost a child, the turning of the calendar brings not only the hope of new beginnings but also the painful reminder of everything that will never be.  Today, we talk about the depth of this grief, the unique challenges of facing life after child loss, and how there is still hope for the New Year!
