Messy Mourning: Hope for Mothers Grieving the Loss of a Child by Suicide with Author Jackie M. Baker

Grief is rarely neat, predictable, or easy to navigate. In this heartfelt episode of Saved and Strong, Carrie Watts welcomes author, storyteller, and pediatric nurse practitioner Jackie M. Baker for an honest conversation about loss, faith, and finding hope in life's most difficult moments. Jackie's debut book, Messy Mourning: Hope for Mothers Grieving the Loss of a Child by Suicide, was written to walk alongside mothers facing one of life's deepest sorrows. Through compassionate reflection, personal experience, and unwavering faith, Jackie offers comfort, understanding, and hope to grieving hearts. Rather than providing easy answers, she creates space for the heartbreak, questions, love, and longing that often accompany profound loss. Together, Carrie and Jackie discuss: • Navigating grief when life doesn't make sense • The unique pain of losing a child • Faith in the midst of unanswered questions • How God meets us in broken places • Finding purpose and hope after tragedy • Why sharing our stories helps others heal If you or someone you love is walking through grief, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone and that hope can still be found, even in the messiest seasons of life.
