Mother’s Day can feel like a celebration for everyone else—while you’re silently breaking inside. Whether this is your first Mother’s Day without your child or your fifteenth, the ache is real and persistent.

In Episode 175, Teresa offers biblical guidance and deeply personal encouragement for grieving moms who are dreading the approach of Mother’s Day. With honesty, tenderness, and faith, she unpacks three scriptural truths to help you honor your grief, create space for hope, and let God meet you in the pain.

3 Key Takeaways:

👉 You Don’t Have to Celebrate
You’re allowed to grieve on Mother’s Day. God honors your sorrow—and there is no pressure to perform or pretend.
If you have surviving children who want to celebrate you, hold space for them too. You can set boundaries around when and how you gather, but don’t miss the chance to receive their love. Grieving as a family is hard, but connection brings life.

👉 God Still Calls You Mother
Psalm 56:8 reminds us that God keeps track of every tear. Even when others forget, He never stops calling you His beloved daughter—and still sees you as a mother.

👉 Hope and Grief Can Coexist
Psalm 34:18 says the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Your pain doesn’t cancel your faith—hope can rise, even in your tears.

If you need support this Mother’s Day, this episode is your safe space.

Grief after child loss is more than a moment—it’s a world we now live in. And unless you’ve walked it, it’s hard to understand the layers that come with it.

In Episode 174, Teresa pulls back the curtain on what grieving parents carry every single day: the mental anguish, the silent triggers, the feeling of living in two worlds—the one before and the one after.

This isn’t just about sadness. It’s about the fight for identity, the moments of guilt and loneliness, the fear of forgetting and the ache of remembering.

But there is hope. There is companionship in the suffering. And there is One who walks with you in it all.

3 Key Takeaways:

👉 The Mind-Battle No One Sees
How an unsuspecting word, sight, sound, or memory can create a domino effect in your mind and heart that leads to deep sadness—and the gentle practice that steadies your thoughts.

👉 Everyday Triggers You Didn’t See Coming
Grocery stores, birthday parties, high school graduations—mapping yours so they don’t blindside you.

👉 Hope’s Open Invitation
A single verse that opens the door to rest—even when your soul feels shut down.
