17 | Hold Fast: Cradling Grief and Joy with Widow and Mama Mallory Moseby

Send us Fan MailThe weight of unimaginable loss meets the light of unwavering faith in this powerful conversation with Mallory Mosby, a young widow raising two daughters after losing her firefighter husband Harrison to cancer. Mallory's love story with Harrison was beautiful but brief—they fell in love quickly, married, and welcomed their daughters Kollyns ("strength") and Gracelee ("hope") in quick succession. Then cancer changed everything. Through pregnancy, delivery, and raising a toddler, Mallory stood beside Harrison during his brave fight, learning lessons about love and faith that transformed her forever.What stands out most in Mallory's testimony is her conscious choice to embrace joy even while grieving deeply. "I have two choices," she explains. "I can be bitter or I can choose joy." This isn't toxic positivity—Mallory openly acknowledges the loneliness of widowhood, the challenges of single parenting, and those mornings when grief hits unexpectedly hard. Yet she continues finding purpose in raising her daughters to know both their earthly father's legacy and their heavenly Father's love.Listen as Mallory shares about completing a marathon to honor Harrison's memory, how she's creating new family traditions, and what it means to have a relationship with God that evolved from occasional bedtime prayers to constant conversation throughout the day. Her journey reminds us that strength often looks like simply showing up with shaky hands, that grief and joy can coexist, and that even in our deepest pain, we are never walking alone.Whether you're navigating loss, raising children solo, or simply trying to trust God through difficult seasons, Mallory's story will remind you that hope remains alive even in life's darkest chapters.🎵 Check out the link below to listen to Hold Fast • So We May• Joseph McKeen https://youtu.be/loSER03Nzm0?si=_uMd7doZ3xEyBivc📺 Watch Don’t quit on Six https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ai6gNnFiQ/?mibextid=wwXIfrIt would mean the world to me if you would like, subscribe leave a review and/or share with a friend if you enjoyed this episode!
