The five stages of grief weren't designed to be a checklist — and they were never biblical. In this episode, I'm breaking down why the "stages" model actually hurts grieving moms, what the Psalms really say about grief, and why you are not failing just because your grief isn't linear.I’m looking for 10 women who have lost a child and are willing to share a little about what life feels like right now.I created a short, honest form—no calls, no pressure.

If you've lost a child, you've collected them — the well-meaning "at leasts" that people say when they don't know what else to do. "At least she's not in pain." "At least you got time with her." "At least you still have your faith."They mean well. That's what makes it so hard.In this video I'm breaking down why we say "at least," why it quietly wounds the grieving heart, and what God actually says instead — because it's not what most of us expect.I’m looking for 10 women who have lost a child and are willing to share a little about what life feels like right now.I created a short, honest form—no calls, no pressure.

This one's for the mama who braces herself every May. The one who smiles when someone says "Happy Mother's Day" even though something inside her sinks a little. In this episode, Becky gets honest about what Mother's Day actually feels like after child loss, why you ARE still a mother (the Bible says so), and why some years the holiest thing you can do is close your bedroom door and eat food you didn't cook. Biblical. Real. And yes, there's a bed story.I’m looking for 10 women who have lost a child and are willing to share a little about what life feels like right now.I created a short, honest form—no calls, no pressure.

Are you actually grieving — or are you just surviving it? Most moms who've lost a child don't realize they've been avoiding their grief. It doesn't look dramatic. It looks like busyness. Numbness. Anger. Managing everyone else.

After child loss, anger can feel just as overwhelming as grief — and sometimes even guiltier. We’re taught that “strong faith” looks quiet, polite, and accepting. But what happens when your heart is shattered and your prayers sound more like accusations than praise?In this episode, we’re talking about the “Angry Prayer.”We’re diving into the Psalms of Lament — the raw, unfiltered prayers that prove screaming at Heaven might actually be the most faithful thing you can do.You’ll learn:• Why anger at God doesn’t mean you lack faith• How the Bible gives permission for honest, messy grief• What Psalm 88 teaches us about prayers that end in darkness• A simple 4-step guide to writing your own lament• Why wrestling with God is a form of intimacy, not rebellionYou can watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/YPBhM13s96M✨ My book JOY DOES RETURN is officially available on Amazon! If this episode spoke to you, this book was written for you.⁠⁠Grab your copy here:👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GHMBVJWM⁠Read the first chapter of Joy Does Return- A try before you cry kinda thing. ⁠Read it HERE!⁠💛 Let’s stay connected. If this episode spoke to you, please follow the show and leave a review—it helps other grieving moms find us.

Everyone tells you God will comfort you. Nobody tells you He lets you cry first.In Jeremiah 31:15, Rachel is weeping for her children — and God doesn't rush her, rebuke her, or tell her to have more faith. He speaks tenderly after she grieves. That sequence is not an accident. It's permission.If you've felt pressure to "get to the peace" before you're ready, this one's for you.✨ My book JOY DOES RETURN is officially available on Amazon! If this episode spoke to you, this book was written for you.⁠⁠Grab your copy here:👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GHMBVJWM⁠Read the first chapter of Joy Does Return- A try before you cry kinda thing. ⁠Read it HERE!⁠More of a visual person?

What happens when you stand in a room full of women and tell the truth about grief?In this episode, Becky shares reflections from a recent Christian women’s conference where she spoke about loss, faith, and the kind of joy that can still exist after unimaginable heartbreak.She tells the story of her daughter Gracie — who lived just 82 days — and what it was like to share that story live in front of a room filled with women carrying their own hidden griefs. Because loss doesn’t always come in the form of a casket. Sometimes it’s a diagnosis, a shattered dream, or the life you thought you would have.Together we explore:• Why biblical joy isn’t pretending everything is okay• The powerful moment when Mary Magdalene hears Jesus say her name• What surprised Becky most about the women who approached her after the talk• Three questions to help you find glimmers of joy even in deep griefIf you’ve ever thought “this isn’t the life I prayed for,” this conversation is for you.Because joy doesn’t come from perfect circumstances.It comes from the presence of a God who meets us right in the middle of our mourning.✨ My book JOY DOES RETURN is officially available on Amazon! If this episode spoke to you, this book was written for you.⁠⁠Grab your copy here:👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GHMBVJWM⁠Read the first chapter of Joy Does Return- A try before you cry kinda thing. ⁠Read it HERE!⁠💛 Let’s stay connected. If this episode spoke to you, please follow the show and leave a review—it helps other grieving moms find us.

Joy Does Return, my book, is finally available on Amazon! Get your copy here!To celebrate the launch of my book Joy Does Return, I’m sharing something deeply personal — I’m reading a chapter out loud. A chapter I wrestled with. A chapter that holds some of the hardest questions I’ve ever asked about God, grief, and what happens after our children die.In this episode, I reflect on faith that was shaken, hope that felt impossible, and the questions grieving parents are often afraid to say out loud — about Heaven, about anger, about joy returning after devastating loss. This is not a theological debate or a tidy answer-filled conversation. It’s an honest one.If you’ve ever struggled with what people say after child loss…If you’ve ever wondered where your child is now…If you’ve ever felt afraid that your questions might push God away…This episode is for you.I hope this episode feels like sitting with a friend who isn’t afraid of your grief, your doubts, or your hope — even if it’s barely there.💛 Let’s stay connected. If this episode spoke to you, please follow the show and leave a review—it helps other grieving moms find us.

A listener recently wrote to me and said,“I wish I could say that each loss made my faith stronger, but this one has left me with doubts I’ve never faced before. What helps you believe?”This episode is the first part of my answer to that question. Part 2 is coming. Because after my daughter Gracie died, I didn’t come out with unshakable faith. I came out angry, heartbroken, and asking, “Where were You, God?”But over time, I started to see that faith isn’t about certainty—it’s about holding on when you don’t understand.If you’re struggling to believe God is still good, or even still there, this conversation is for you.

After losing my daughter, one of the questions I couldn’t stop asking myself was: “What if I never go back to the person I was before?”Maybe you’ve thought that too. I used to think if I just worked harder, smiled bigger, or hustled more, I could somehow claw my way back to “before.” But here’s the truth: we don’t go back. We go forward. And forward can actually be good—because forward is where God is.In this episode, I’m sharing the messy, honest truth about chasing your “old life” and why God isn’t calling you back—He’s calling you forward. I’ll walk you through some practical things that helped me, like journaling with God, letting go of the “before me,” and trying small new things that remind me I’m still being made new.If you’ve ever felt stuck in the ache of missing who you were, I hope this conversation helps you take a deep breath and remember: your identity isn’t in your grief, it’s in Christ. And the new life He’s creating in you is worth stepping into.💛 Let’s stay connected. If this episode spoke to you, please follow the show and leave a review—it helps other grieving moms find us.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Amanda Feltman, a loss mom and advocate from Measure the Placenta, to talk about how a simple ultrasound measurement—Estimated Placental Volume (EPV)—could help save lives.📌 What you'll learn in this episode:✅ The critical role the placenta plays in pregnancy and fetal health✅ How small placentas can increase the risk of stillbirth and poor outcomes✅ Why EPV isn’t standard practice in prenatal care (and why it should be!)✅ Amanda’s personal story of losing her daughter, Juniper, and how it led her to advocacy✅ What parents can do to advocate for better monitoring of placental health💔 Stillbirth is a silent crisis, but it doesn’t have to be. Awareness and action can make a difference.Hey, if you're more of a visual person, this episode is up on my YouTube Channel!
