Frankie was the third-born of triplets, arriving after his two sisters. His mother, Ellen, recalls his early years as charmed—filled with joyful vacations, engaging activities, and an infectious sense of humor. Frankie was the smallest kid with the biggest laugh, known for his wild jokes, imaginative stories, and a vocabulary all his own. As he entered middle school, challenges emerged. Being the smallest in his class and diagnosed with ADHD, Frankie began to struggle. Depression followed, leading him to self-medicate. Tragically, his life ended at age 26 in October 2022 due to an overdose of cocaine laced with fentanyl. Ellen now speaks to groups about Frankie's life, hoping to reach even one young person who might be considering drugs as a way to cope. Her mission is to transform heartbreak into hope, one story at a time. Ellen shares some resources below: ·         Helping Parent Heal – helpingparentsheal.org. There is also a Facebook page.

Blending a family isn't just about making schedules work or learning each other's habits. It's about entering into an already-formed culture — one that existed before you. For the stepparent, that often means grieving what you imagined family life would look like, while choosing to restrain yourself from immediately reshaping the environment into “yours.”In this episode, Jason and Lauren Vallotton talk candidly about:Why grief is a normal and healthy part of the step-parenting journeyThe tension between honoring the existing family culture and slowly helping build a new oneThe unspoken expectations that every stepparent carries — and what to do with themWhy building a new “normal” takes years (Ron Deal says seven, and it often feels true!)Encouragement for couples to stay connected in the long process of blendingIf you're in the thick of a blended family dynamic, you are not crazy and you are not alone. Healing, belonging, and love can grow in the middle of the mess — but it takes time, patience, and a lot of grace.PatreonIf you've enjoyed this podcast, would you consider financially supporting the show?

Together, we reflect on how our grief has evolved over the years and how motherhood—five years after loss—continues to take on new meaning.

In this conversation, Keltie Maguire and therapist Lia Avellino explore the intricate relationship between motherhood, identity, and grief.  You'll hear them discuss: The evolving nature of desire, the cultural narratives surrounding parenthood, and the importance of self-discovery in navigating these experiences.  The coexistence of joy and grief in motherhood, and the need to honor both old and new identities. The emotional weight of grief in decision-making, and how to navigate pre-emptive grief as you make your Kids or Childfree choice. How the body can provide insights into your Kids or Childfree choice. Why good enough, rather than "all in", can be enough. How envisioning different life paths can help clarify our desires.

Have you ever experienced grief? Maybe you've lost someone close to you or had your life change in a way that you never expected. What do you do when pain won't go away? When it silently weighs on you as everyone else moves on? Jesus once said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." That may sound confusing. Mourning and loss… that doesn't feel right! But what Jesus is saying is that there's good news for those who grieve. And that good news is God's offer of comfort. Not a quick fix, but a steady presence—His presence—to sit with you in the dark offering hope. This is how your healing will begin—when you open your heart to Jesus and invite God's Spirit to start this quiet work. Say yes to the path Jesus offers—the path to new life. Always remember, there is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau. Scripture Reference: Matthew 5:4 radio.hopewithgod.com

What does grief really feel like? The moments that break you, the ones that blur together, and the in-betweens no one talks about. In this episode, Jule Kim, coach and writer, shares her honest experience after the sudden loss of her brother. This is a deeply human conversation about what happens when life stops without warning, and how we keep going through the waves of sorrow and loss that follow. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 What Grief Really Feels Like (dealing with grief) 09:35 The First Two Weeks: Waves, body shock, and why you need people 15:27 When Others Pull Away: What to say and do when you don't know how to help  29:53 Doing right by them  54:03 Remembering in Practice We talk about the quiet moments no one prepares you for—the way grief sits in the body, how family dynamics shift, and what real support can look like when words just aren't enough. When Words Fail: What to say (and what not to say) when someone you love is grieving. The Aftershocks: Why grief doesn't end when everyone else moves on—and how to stay connected to what still matters. Being There: Gentle, grounded ways to show up when you don't know how to help. No one really tells you how to deal with grief, it's an experience we all move through uniquely. This can be a tough, triggering conversation for some but it's one that's meant to feel like support for those struggling and guidance for those not sure how to be there for those dealing with loss. You don't need to be “ready” for this conversation—just open to hearing about what dealing with grief feels like and how we individually heal.

Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes Dr. Jennifer Dall, a grief-informed neurodivergence specialist and the founder of ADHD Holistically. Jennifer was diagnosed with ADHD in her 50s, and is now an educator, administrator, coach, and grief specialist. They talk about grieving over what might have been, a struggle that often accompanies late-diagnosis. They discuss Jennifer's lived experience with late diagnosis, as well as some common misconceptions about ADHD, especially those faced by women. They also talk about the challenges of identifying ADHD in school settings, particularly for girls and students who may not present with typical disruptive behaviors, and how dependence on a behavioral lens can lead to greater consequences, rather than providing necessary support. TAKEAWAYS There's a lack of training about the diverse presentations of ADHD among educators and professionals. It's a persistent myth that people "grow out of" ADHD. There can be profound grief and trauma after a late diagnosis, stemming from lost time, opportunities, and years of internalizing negative narratives. ADHD often compounds the symptoms of grief. Dr. Jennifer Dall is a Grief-Informed Neurodivergence Specialist and the founder of ADHD Holistically, where she helps individuals—particularly women—navigate ADHD with practical, personalized strategies that prioritize self-awareness and sustainable growth. With over 25 years of experience as an educator and a background in ADHD coaching, yoga instruction, and grief education, her holistic approach is rooted in both professional expertise and lived experience. Diagnosed with ADHD in her 50s, Dr. Jennifer brings deep insight into the challenges of late diagnosis, masking, and misinformation—especially for women. Through her courses, workshops, and speaking engagements, she supports neurodivergent individuals and the professionals who serve them, including therapists, coaches, and HR leaders. Her work centers on reframing ADHD as a source of strength, helping others unlock their potential with strategies that work in real life.

He should be here. Today's guest, Lindsay, says that these are the four most impactful words that have been said to her in the year since her 6-month-old son, Chase, died from bacterial meningitis. These words don't try to cheer her up or remind her of some grand plan. They simply acknowledge the wrongness of the whole situation. Lindsay's family no longer feels complete without Chase. Smiling 'Chasey' should be tagging along, trying to keep up with his big brother, Jack. Chase should be here. From the time her two boys were tiny babies, Lindsay would read to them. She loved reading board books by Nancy Tillman, especially 'On the Night You Were Born' and 'Wherever You Go: My Love Will Find You.' This second book begins with the line, 'I wanted you more than you'll ever know, so I sent love to follow wherever you go.' The book goes on to describe how the mother's love will follow the child wherever he or she goes, whether it be going swimming, climbing trees, or marching in parades. It reminds the child that as they grow, their mother's love will continue to follow them throughout life. The last line of the book reads, 'You are my angel, my darling, my star, and my love will find you wherever you are.' Since Chase's death, Lindsay has truly realized the truth of that little board book. The book was certainly not written for grieving parents, but we can hold fast to the words of that book, can't we? Death does not end our love for our children. Our love continues to follow them after death.  Lindsay's love for Chase has followed him all the way to heaven. In the year since Chase died, her love for Chase has not diminished. Her love has continued to grow just as it does for all mothers. On Chase's birthday, Lindsay now donates 70 copies of 'Wherever You Go: My Love will Find You' to the NICU where she works and Baby Chase once stayed.  Certainly, Chase should be here as a laughing, smiling toddler, but as she sees parents read these books to their new babies, Lindsay remembers that their love for each other continues to grow, and these books will help spread that love even further.

On today's episode, Andy & DJ discuss Trump's N-word joke falls flat as America's top generals laugh awkwardly at gag about firing them, Trump vowing border patrol agents will take no nonsense as feds march into downtown Chicago, and the grieving dad slamming lawmakers for crime policies that freed daughter's suspected career criminal killer.

For many, autumn is a season of beauty—colorful leaves, crisp air, and cozy traditions. But as our daily prayer and devotional remind us, for others, the season can reopen deep wounds of grief. Losing a loved one during this time can make every falling leaf feel like a reminder of what has been lost. Grief is not something to hide or feel ashamed of—it is the natural expression of love for someone who is no longer here. Jesus’ words in the Beatitudes assure us that those who mourn are not abandoned in their pain. Instead, God promises His presence and comfort in the midst of sorrow. The Lord draws near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3) and faithfully carries us when grief feels unbearable. Over time, He not only comforts us but also equips us to comfort others in their mourning (2 Corinthians 1:3-5). In this way, even our deepest pain can become a vessel of compassion and encouragement. If autumn carries grief for you, know that you are not alone. God’s light still shines through the darkness, and His presence offers hope and healing—even in the hardest seasons. Today's Bible Verse: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” – Matthew 5:4 (NIV) Key Takeaways Grief is a natural and holy expression of love—it is nothing to be ashamed of. God promises to comfort those who mourn (Matthew 5:4). The Lord draws close to the brokenhearted and heals our wounds (Psalm 147:3). Our own grief can equip us to extend comfort and empathy to others in pain. Let’s Pray Together Dear Jesus, autumn feels full of grief this year. Please help me to accept my sorrow as a reflection of love and not push it away. Surround me with Your comfort, fill my heart with Your hope, and help me to see glimpses of beauty even in my pain. Use my story to encourage others walking through grief, and remind me that You are always near. Amen.

What does it really mean to grieve as a Christian? When Erika Kirk was ridiculed for not showing grief the way the world expected, it exposed the deep difference between cultural sorrow and biblical hope. In this episode, Lilly and Colton unpack how Christians are called to grieve, why it often looks different to outsiders, and how Erika's response reminds us that true comfort can only come from God. Let's get into it. Connect With The Few! Follow us and join the conversation:

John MacArthur. Charlie Kirk. Voddie Baucham… and so many more. We may not have known them personally, but we feel that a light to the world has been extinguished, and the world is a little bit darker now that we've lost them. How do we deal with the grief and mourning we feel even after […]

When you're grieving, the quiet can be deafening — and in that silence, voices compete for your attention. Some sound caring, even spiritual, but they don't come from Jesus. In this episode, we'll uncover four common voices that often lead grieving moms astray and learn how to measure them against the true voice of the Shepherd. ✨ Here's what you'll take away: The difference between conviction from the Holy Spirit and condemnation from shame How fear shows up in grief and why it never produces peace Why urgency can be a trap that pushes you further from God's will How pride and flattery quietly mask grief instead of healing it Friend, you don't have to let the wrong voice guide your grief. Press play to discover how to recognize these lies and return to the peace of Christ.   Grief Mentor Services 1:1 Grief Mentor Session  A faith-centered hour to steady your heart, find peace and clarity, and leave with real tools and next steps. I pray over you before we even speak..

The car hydroplaned and collided with another car, killing Janna.Tamara became isolated in her grief and felt people had turned away from her. She responded by writing a poem about the importance of hugs:If You See MeIf you see me, do not run . . .I know that talk is not much fun.I know your hearts are sure to tug,But all I need is just a hug.After her poem was published in the local paper, many people approached her, saying they'd read it, and then hugged her.Sixteen years later, in 2013, Tamara started Healing Hugs. This nonprofit organisation assists with funeral-related services or other expenses. For example, when Tamara learned that, for a number of complicated reasons, a child did not yet have a headstone, she offered to provide one for his grave.About this week's guestTamara Gabriel is a massage therapist. She works with her husband, who is a psychiatrist in his medical clinic. They've been together for 23 years, married for 19, they are happily married and living in Arizona, a dream they've always looked forward to together.Support the showFind support: Offers - free and paid Support the show: Become a supporter of the show!

In this raw conversation with Sara Mayberg, we explore Sara's personal process of Teshuvah and the path back to her divine soul, as someone who was already committed to her Jewish practice. We discuss how the inherent nature of the divine soul is to want G-d, how Sara began to develop a visceral experience of trust, and how grief can crack us open in transformative ways. Other topics explored: how financial struggles can be invitations to lean on G-d, the significance of community in the path back to ourselves, learning to see the divine in others, the ongoing process of return, and the journey to reclaiming a sense of choice in our Judaism and relationships.

When someone you love struggles with addiction, the entire family feels the weight, but what if recovery could run parallel?On this episode of Groove with Portia, I'm joined by Lisa Katona-Smith, Certified Peer Recovery Specialist and founder of Parallel Recovery. Lisa opens up about her personal journey through addiction as a mother, and how her family's experience with ambiguous grief and emotional fatigue inspired her to create a new path toward healing.We explore the concept of parallel recovery support, a family-centered approach to addiction recovery that empowers parents and loved ones to heal alongside the person struggling with substance use disorder. Lisa explains why the traditional recovery system often overlooks families, and how sustainable practices like boundary-setting, emotional detachment, and self-compassion are essential for long-term recovery and mental wellness.If you've ever wrestled with questions like “How do I support a loved one with addiction without losing myself?” or “Can I feel hopeful again after years of grief and emotional exhaustion?”—this episode will give you the tools and inspiration to begin healing, for both your loved one and yourself.Lisa also shares insights from her new book Parallel Recovery: A Guide for Those Who Love Someone with Substance Use Disorder.Connect with Lisa: https://lisakatonasmith.com/

This week on the Local Food Report, grieving the beech trees of Provincetown's beech forest—and the nuts they've long provided.

When host Jenny Dempsey got laid off back in 2022, she had no clue what I was doing. She was crying on her couch, trying to figure out who she even was without my job. No one hands you a guide for that kind of loss. It honestly felt like the ground fell out from under her.And then along comes Steve Jaffe. Turns out, he literally wrote the book I wish I had back then: The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery.Steve's been through four layoffs (yes, four!) and instead of letting it crush him, he mapped out the stages of grief that come with job loss. Reading his book brought up so many of my own memories, everything from the shock and shame to that messy process of rebuilding your identity. It made me cry, it gave me hope, and it reminded me I'm not alone.In this conversation with Steve, we talk about:Why losing a job takes you through the grieving process.The awkward shame we carry after a layoff, and how to drop it.Why slowing down to process before jumping into the job hunt can change everythingThe “baggage” you might unknowingly carry into your next role.And what you need to hear if you just got laid off yesterday.This one hit so close to home for me, and if you've ever been laid off, or even just wondered who you are without your job, I think it'll resonate with you too.Connect with SteveGrab Steve's book The Layoff Journey on Amazon: The Layoff JourneyLearn more at: thestevejaffe.comFollow Steve on Instagram: @stevejaffethelayoffjourneyConnect with Steve on LinkedIn: Steve Jaffe on LinkedIn Thanks for tuning in to The Career Flipper!If this episode made you think, laugh, or feel a little braver about your own flip, do me a favor:

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life conversation, M&A specialist turned novelist Buddy Howard breaks down how writing became a therapeutic practice during a family crisis and later evolved into his debut thriller, The Burden of Evidence. We cover practical creative habits (daily 300-word targets, deadline accountability), mindset tools for finishing long projects, and how business acuity sharpens plot structure, stakes, and character decisions. Buddy also shares the core moral dilemma at the heart of his book—conscience vs. consequence—and the reframes that helped him keep going when motivation dipped. If you're an entrepreneur, leader, or creator seeking clear, actionable steps to write, heal, and ship your work, this episode delivers direct, no-fluff guidance you can apply today. About the guest: Buddy Howard is a mergers & acquisitions specialist and debut novelist. His thriller The Burden of Evidence explores how far a person might go when systems fail, using fiction to process hard truths and build resilience. More at buddyhoward.com. Writing can be therapy: documenting difficult experiences clarified patterns, reduced rumination, and strengthened perspective without requiring public disclosure. Start small, finish strong: a consistent 300-word morning target built momentum; many days expanded naturally once the threshold was met. Ship with deadlines: external accountability (a concrete date and someone to enforce it) beats perfectionism and accelerates publishing. Driving in silence aids creativity: intentional, distraction-free time surfaced plot twists and solved story problems. Business lessons translate to story craft: understanding power dynamics (who can walk away) and risk tradeoffs creates credible conflict and stakes. Conscience vs. consequence: great stories—and real decisions—live where moral clarity collides with personal cost. Truth requires less energy than a lie: letting truth “surface” can guide both character arcs and life choices. Grieving is a privilege: having time and space to grieve speeds recovery; many people do not have that latitude. Build character relationships readers care about: emotional investment turns pages and prompts reflection after the last chapter. Everyone has a story: writing yours—private or public—can unlock meaning and resilience.

In this week's podcast session, Karrie discusses the second step of healing which often comes after we have brought our story to light. It is a period of grieving. There is no unspoken timeline when grief needs to be resolved. We are always grieving. Grief is a part of our everyday life. But when we grieve in a God given way it moves us through the trauma and hurt, and it allows for us embrace peace because we are not eradicating parts of us. Common misconceptions about grief are:If I start grieving I will drownGrief is weaknessI need to stop being sadThere is a timeline on griefKarrie walks us through how we can find comfort in the grieving process and how we can share our grief with God and within safe places. Grieving inevitably happens when we are alone, but the fullness of healing comes when grief is communal. Reflection Question:What grief have you been holding back? Karrie's Instagram: @karriescottgarciaKarrie's Website: karriegarcia.comFreedom Movement Instagram: @freedom_movementFreedom Movement Website: wearefm.orgSign up for Freedom Movement Trainings: https://www.wearefm.org/trainingsFind Story Work Retreat info & sign-ups:https://www.karriegarcia.com/work-with-karriePurchase Karrie's book Free & Fully Alive!https://www.amazon.com/dp/0310366445?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_A6200T1AKD7FS2PZ8VA1Book Karrie for Speaking Engagements:https://www.karriegarcia.com/book-karrie Music by Tanya Godsay

What if the role of “pastor's wife” wasn't biblical at all, but a cultural invention that sidelined women from ministry? Dr. Beth Allison Barr pulls back the curtain on how power, patriarchy, and politics shaped Evangelical churches—and why reclaiming women's voices could change everything.

God's spirit—His power and influence—is a power we can't even begin to comprehend. His spirit was introduced to us as the mighty power of His will in Genesis 1:1-3 as His creative process began with “Let there be light." This same power and influence is described as taking root in us in Ephesians 1:13 where it says we were sealed with God's spirit through the salvation of Jesus. With all of the marvel of this mighty power of God working in us, how is it that we can "quench" it? Why would we ever even think of doing such a thing and most importantly, what do the Scriptures tell us about handling this awesome privilege with reverence and humility? The biblical warning from 1 Thessalonians 5:19 to “not quench the spirit” has important meaning in regard to Christian conduct in our day. Quenching the powerful and transformative force of God's spirit means stifling or extinguishing that divine influence through neglect, disobedience or self-deception. Critical elements for avoiding this spiritually destructive behavior were laid out by the Apostle Paul in his previous teachings about rejoicing, prayer and gratitude, as these behaviors “fuel” the spirit. Conversely, bitterness, distraction and indifference can suppress it. The Bible provides vivid metaphors—like hiding a lamp under a basket or forgetting one's reflection in a mirror—to illustrate how spiritual neglect can lead to eventual quenching of the spirit. While there is a difference between grieving the spirit (through harmful attitudes or behaviors) and quenching it (cutting off its influence entirely) we as disciples are urged to remain attentive and disciplined, feeding the spirit through active faith and humility. Key Takeaways: • To "quench the spirit" means extinguishing God's influence through neglect or resistance. • Joy, prayer and gratitude are essential "spiritual fuels" that keep the spirit alive. • "Grieving the spirit" through such things as bitterness or gossip can lead to quenching if left unchecked. • Distraction and indifference are common modern threats to spiritual attentiveness. • Active faith involves doing, not just hearing—responding to conviction, not suppressing it. • The armor of God, especially the shield of faith, helps extinguish Satan's attacks. In this context, "quenching" is a good thing! • God's mercy ensures even a flickering ember of faith is precious and worth fanning into flame.
