We talk about building a grief-literate community, the sacred role of lament, and how the church can hold space for sorrow and hope at the same time. Clarissa offers powerful insight into what it means to be beloved in the midst of pain and how the slow work of healing happens in community, in story, and in the soil of everyday life.

Married to a Cult Leader The Mysterious Death of Her Son and Isabella Young's Journey from California to Hawaii. Isabella Young's story reads like a modern-day epic, equal parts heartbreak, healing, and spiritual transformation. Once married to a cult leader in Southern California and later a grieving mother after the mysterious death of her son, Isabella has emerged from unimaginable darkness to become a beacon of hope, wisdom, and resilience. Now living in Hawaii, she shares her harrowing journey through her books, art, and online presence, reaching audiences via the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Facebook, Instagram, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more. “I didn't want to die, but I didn't know how to live,” she says. “That's when I began the deepest journey of my life.” The episode is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. A Sudden Loss and the Start of a Spiritual Odyssey Isabella's life took a tragic turn in 1994 when she was widowed while pregnant, left to raise a three-year-old son alone. The grief of losing her husband was only the beginning. Driven by a desperate need for healing and understanding, she set off on a quest that spanned three continents, embracing everything from shamanic journeys and vision quests to living in ashrams, and retreats. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . But the path she hoped would heal her led instead to deeper suffering. She became entangled in what she now identifies as a "messianic cult" in Southern California, a group with disturbing similarities to the infamous spiritual movements that once flourished in the Golden State. Married to a Cult Leader The Mysterious Death of Her Son and Isabella Young's Journey from California to Hawaii. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Cults and California: A Dangerous Combination From "Heaven's Gate" and the "Manson Family" to the "Peoples Temple" and more, Southern California has long been a magnet for unconventional spiritual movements, some with devastating outcomes. These groups often center around a charismatic leader, promise enlightenment, and prey on people during vulnerable moments, much like Isabella's own experience. “We came looking for healing,” Isabella recalls. “Instead, we became trapped.” The cult's leader, Isabella's husband at the time, exercised complete psychological control. She spent eight years in submission, surrendering her identity to the teachings of a man she now claims was directly responsible for her son's "murder", staged as a suicide. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The Mysterious Death of Her Son Isabella's teenage son died under suspicious circumstances that were quickly labeled a suicide. But to Isabella, the truth is much darker. Married to a Cult Leader The Mysterious Death of Her Son and Isabella Young's Journey from California to Hawaii. “It wasn't suicide,” she insists. “It was murder. And it was the final act that set me free.” The grief shattered her illusions. That moment, the deepest wound of her life, became the catalyst for escape. She fled the cult, fleeing California with nothing but a mother's broken heart and a soul desperate for truth. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. From Trauma to Transformation in Hawaii Now residing in Hawaii, Isabella has spent the last several years rebuilding her life, and reclaiming her power. She shares her journey and healing modalities through her website, and through her writing, including her most recent book, New Human of New Earth: Medicine for the Freedom and Future of Humanity. In her book, Isabella explores ancient, indigenous wisdom and spiritual tools that she believes hold the key to personal and collective transformation in this era of chaos and awakening. Married to a Cult Leader The Mysterious Death of Her Son and Isabella Young's Journey from California to Hawaii. “The world is changing fast,” she writes. “We need ancient wisdom now more than ever, for our health, our freedom, and our future.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Her message is not just spiritual, but deeply practical. She speaks to people facing trauma, confusion, and isolation in a rapidly evolving world, offering tools for sovereignty, truth, and divine embodiment. A Voice for the Voiceless Through social media, her podcast appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast available on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and others. Isabella is now a voice for those who've been silenced, especially former cult members and survivors of religious trauma. Her advocacy also touches on how governments and societies label spiritual movements, often with vague or politically motivated definitions. In fact, across countries like France, Germany, and Russia the term “cult” or “sect” has been used in ways that stigmatize non-traditional faiths, even when they don't cause harm. But Isabella makes clear: when a movement exerts psychological control, separates families, or enables violence, it is no longer benign.

From the tragedy of being married to a cult leader to surviving the "murder" death of her son, she has emerged stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever to guide others toward awakening and autonomy. “The Great Awakening is real,” she says. “And each of us must take responsibility for our own healing, our own power, and our own truth.” If her message resonates with you, follow Isabella Young. Her books are available now and her story is being featured in a powerful podcast series streaming for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast webnsite, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major platforms.

The aftermath of devastating floods in Texas and New Mexico brings a somber reflection on how we comfort those facing sudden, unexpected loss. Drawing from both personal experience and professional expertise as a minister and crisis response specialist, this episode offers ten practical approaches to supporting grieving friends and family members.When tragedy strikes, many of us freeze, unsure of what to say or do despite our genuine desire to help. The traditional wisdom once passed down through close-knit communities about sitting with those in grief is becoming increasingly lost. This guidance fills that gap with compassionate, actionable advice.At the heart of effective grief support is the sacred gift of presence. Rather than struggling to find perfect words or filling silence with platitudes, simply being there matters most. Learn why statements like "they're in a better place" or "I know how you feel" can unintentionally cause more pain, and discover genuinely helpful alternatives. The episode explores practical ways to help—from bringing meals to assisting with household tasks—while honoring the uniqueness of each person's grief journey.Most importantly, grief isn't a sprint; it's a marathon. While communities typically rally during the first few weeks following a loss, genuine compassion means committing to long-term support when most others have moved on. Whether you're experiencing loss yourself or supporting someone who is, these insights provide a roadmap for navigating grief's complex terrain with grace, empathy, and genuine human connection. How might we become better grief companions for those we care about when they need us most?Link to the BlogLet John know what you think!

n this episode, Rosie Gill-Moss speaks with Charlotte Cannell about losing her fiancé Craig to a brain aneurysm when she was just 27 years old. Their conversation explores the devastating impact of sudden loss on a young woman who had been with her partner since she was 16, and how she rebuilt her life through travel, family support, and finding new purpose.Charlotte shares the harrowing twelve days she spent by Craig's bedside in intensive care after he collapsed during a council meeting in November 2020. Despite initial hope when he regained consciousness and recognised her, complications including sepsis ultimately led to his death. The discussion delves into the unique challenges facing young widows, particularly those without children. Charlotte candidly explores grieving not just Craig, but the future they had planned together - their wedding booked for July 2023, the children they hoped to have, and the life they were building in Essex. Her decision to legally take Craig's surname through deed poll, despite never marrying, demonstrates the depth of their bond and her determination to honour their relationship.

He has been married to Lindsay for 40 years and has three grown-up children and five grandchildren. His life changed significantly when Lindsay died suddenly nearly two years ago. Steve was a client of mine for several years following the heartbreaking, sudden and unexpected loss of his Lindsay. Steve's journey through grief is exemplary because he diligently put himself out to understand grief, to learn to live with it and integrate the loss of his companion of a lifetime into a meaningful life. I invited him to share his story because it offers much insight.When we began working together, Steve was recently widowed. From the beginning, he wanted to grow not because of his loss but despite it and embrace life yet again. Over the time we worked together, I've had the privilege of witnessing his incredible transformation—how he embraced his own grief and walked alongside the grief of his three adult children. We worked through the difficult emotions, and he ultimately rebuilt his life in a way that honors his late wife's memory while also opening himself up to new love.Support the showFind support: Transforming Your Grief Course Support the show: Become a supporter of the show!

Sarah-Ann Chaddick joined us in the studio to kick-off the month of September! Sarah-Ann starts her story by sharing about coming to know Jesus through Cubbies in the AWANA program. It was a special time because her family was all coming to know Jesus around the same time. In college Sarah-Ann met her husband Bradley (he was on the podcast back in June!) and they ended up moving to Colorado early in their marriage. She reflects on this as a sweet time because they had so much quality time as a young family, getting to spend time with her parents too. After about three years in Colorado, they felt the Lord leading their family to move to Arizona. In December 2020 Sarah-Ann describes feeling a sense from the Lord that something was coming, she just didn't know what it was. She felt the Holy Spirit saying, "Something is coming. Be prepared. Simplify your life."  Sarah-Ann did not feel anxiety from this but felt a strong confidence in the Lord. Just two months later Sarah-Ann received a phone call on a Sunday afternoon that changed everything. Her parents had both been killed in a car accident due to a distracted driver. This was the event the Holy Spirit had been preparing her heart for. You will be in awe by Sarah-Ann's response and her strength in how she reacted then and how she tells the story now. Even more amazing is what came to light after her parent's sudden death. Were they expecting this to happen? You will be drawn in as Sarah-Ann takes us into the deepest parts of her grief and shares how a fire was lit in her heart to follow God with a passion. The Sarah-Ann before this event and the Sarah-Ann after are not the same person and that is a testament to God's incredible and personal work. ________Topic's covered in today's episode: oceanography, Colorado, adoption, foster care, distracted driving, grief, discipleship________Bradley Chaddick's testimony (Sarah-Ann's husband!), Episode 120*available wherever you listen to podcastsMomCo at Desert SpringsWould you please subscribe and leave us a review?

In this week's episode, Jocelyn and Kimberly have an open and vulnerable conversation about real-time grief and anticipatory grief in their lives. As they both have found themselves in a tough week, supporting loved ones in the face of devastating loss, Jocelyn and Kimberly contemplate how people who have experienced grief can still struggle to support others. They offer real insight into what it is like when the grievers are grieving, as well as exploring the topic of what it's like to lose someone you love without warning versus when you have time to prepare for their loss - and the bottom line is - no death is ever easy to face, the stories and trauma are just different.Please email us: nothingwasthesamepod@gmail.comFollow us onInstagram: @nwtsgriefpodcastTikTok: @nwtsgriefpodcastYouTube: @nothingwasthesamepodcastPlease submit your story or topics you would like to hear on our website: nwtspodcast.com

Moments of tragedy often bring silent solidarity alongside the pain, and this episode is a testament to that duality. Chelsea recounts the day that altered her reality forever, the instinctive need to protect her family, and the unexpected kindness that can emerge from strangers in our darkest hours. As we traverse through her story, the resounding theme of diverse grief responses within a family unfolds, underscoring the importance of honoring each person's unique path to healing. Navigating the aftermath of a tragedy, such as the vehicular homicide that took her sister Brittany's life, often means confronting anger, seeking justice, and dealing with the invasive eye of the public. Chelsea bravely opens up about these challenges, from grappling with raw emotions to the cathartic release of victim impact statements. Lastly, Chelsea reflects on the delicate balance of supporting each other in relationships while dealing with loss, emphasizing the power of having someone by your side who understands the importance of both the grand and seemingly trivial aspects of mourning. Chelsea's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience that can emerge from shared heartache and the profound unity that can be found even in the depths of loss.   In this episode: (0:03:00) - Brittney's Story (0:20:29) - Diverse Responses to Grief (0:28:55) - Dealing With Vehicular Homicide Impact (0:36:42) - Navigating Justice After Tragedy (0:51:41) - Support and Grief in Relationships   This Episode is sponsored by The Surviving Siblings Guide. ✨Get The Surviving Siblings Guide HERE!   Connect with Chelsea: Facebook | chelsea.mcgrath.564 Instagram | @mcmorg877   Connect with Maya: Podcast Instagram: @survivingsiblingpodcast Maya's Instagram: @mayaroffler TikTok: @survivingsiblingspodcast Twitter: @survivingsibpod Website: Thesurvivingsiblings.com Facebook Group: The Surviving Siblings Podcast YouTube: The Surviving Siblings Podcast Patreon: The Surviving Siblings Podcast

In this episode we talk about a new article on the website that Litsa wrote about a concept she's termed "paradoxical grief". It's the often-confusing experience of grieving a loss that is both anticipated but also sudden and shocking. We talk about this experience that is both incredibly common and yet also rarely talked about in grief, in part because it can feel difficult to explain.  You can check out the article here: https://whatsyourgrief.com/the-paradoxical-grief-of-anticipated-sudden-death/ Visit whatsyourgrief.com for hundreds of free articles we've written about all things grief and loss.

Today's episode was inspired by a letter shared with me by a very good friend, leadership coach, and fellow podcaster, Angie Robinson. Angie joined me in episode #30 discussing Personality Types, Support, and Choosing a Word for the Year. The episode focused on providing insights to help us understand ourselves as well as others. It helped identify why some friends may shy away from those hard subjects, while others dive in and have always been by your side as you navigate your grief journey. Recently, Angie shared a letter from her friend, Steve, and as I read it, I appreciated the stripped down honesty he shared, but more importantly, the various "realities" of grief that were revealed within the letter. I saw several valuable insights which I knew were important enough to share.
