Send us Fan MailA life that looks “on track” can still be one phone call away from a before-and-after. Jennifer Langford Massy joins us to share the story of selling everything, moving to the coast of Nicaragua, and discovering that a hidden fight with bipolar disorder and major depression was growing at the same time. When they returned to the States to get help, her husband died by suicide, and Jennifer found herself navigating a kind of grief that’s heavy, complicated, and often surrounded by stigma.We talk candidly about suicide loss, mental health, and what it means to survive the first wave. Jennifer explains why she felt compelled to tell the truth publicly instead of staying silent, and how that choice became part of her healing and her ministry. We also get into practical grief support: counseling, boundaries when people flood you with advice, and why a grief playlist of worship music (and a few secular songs) can sometimes say what you can’t.Jennifer also shares how writing became therapy through her “Jen Thoughts” posts and how she’s shaping years of reflections into a future book centered on what she calls the sacrament of grief. To close, we zoom out to purpose and rebuilding: her jewelry business, her heart for women who are sole providers, and a nonprofit vision called Soul Provider.If you’ve been searching for honest conversations about grief, faith, suicide bereavement, and healing after loss, this one will meet you where you are. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more people find these stories. What’s one practice that has helped you hold on to hope?

Send us Fan MailHey, my name is Isaac. I have been doing design and web application development work for over 19 years. I enjoy solving hard problems with code and love getting the job done. I have worked with various frameworks/libraries and languages; PHP, MySQL, CSS, Sass, Vuejs, Reactjs, WordPress, WooCommerce, Laravel and Rails,  just to name a few. I consider myself a full stack web application developer and can jump into a project and get quickly rooted. I’m highly motivated, deadline-driven and love to learn more about my field daily. I’m constantly reading, watching videos and tutorials and that's what I do just for fun! I’m a husband and a father, so in terms of provision and having great work ethic, that’s very important to me. I find it very fulfilling when a project has successfully been completed or when a full-on launch has deployed glitch-free. That’s just a little bit about me, but I would love to hear more about you and your project and how we can potentially work together.
