The Audacity to Live: Grief, Faith, and the Text Messages That Carried Me Through 🌱

from Mandy on the Mountain · host Amanda H Shook, M.Ed.

What if honoring them didn’t mean staying in grief… but choosing to live? You don’t have to stop loving them to start living again.If you’ve ever lost someone and didn’t know how to keep living without them… sit with me a while.This episode is about grief, faith, and the messages I kept sending my mom after she passed. I never told anyone I did that. It may seem different, but it got me through.Somewhere along the way, I stopped asking her to pray for me… and I learned how to pray for myself.I also talk about how I’m learning to honor her on her birthday now, not by staying stuck in grief, but by choosing to live, to breathe, and to carry her with me in a different way.This is what getting back up looked like for me.You don’t have to stop loving them to start living again.
