• 296. My Child Died -The Missing Never Stops: One Truth To Ease The Pain 04.07.2026 17m

  My Child Died and the Missing Never Stops: One Truth To Ease The PaIn My child died — and the missing never stops. Nobody warns you about that kind of missing. It doesn't soften with a good night's sleep, and it doesn't wait for a good time. It rises up in the cereal aisle, in the quiet of the house, in the middle of the night — and some days "I miss my child so much" is the only sentence you've got. This Saturday, we sit in that missing together — and then turn to one verse that has held grieving mothers through the lowest places they've ever known. It's the same verse a remarkable woman built her whole life around, long before Teresa ever understood what it would one day mean to her. In this episode, you'll discover: 👉 The one word in Deuteronomy 33:27 that changes everything about how you see God 👉 What Elisabeth Elliot — who lost everything — knew about surviving when everything was taken from her 👉 The part of this verse Teresa found confusing for years, until God showed her what it really means for a grieving mom 👉 Why the enemy never gets the last word The missing is real, and it is not going anywhere this side of heaven. But it is not the end of your story. You are loved with an everlasting love — and underneath are the everlasting arms. 🎧 Calming the Chaos — Summer Access Pricing is open now.

• 295. Why Did My Child Die? What Helps When There's No Answer 30.06.2026 14m

    You've asked it a thousand times: "Why did this happen? Why my child? Why. And the answers people keep offering you — they're in a better place, everything happens for a reason, at least you have other children — never reach the place that actually hurts. If anything, they make you feel more alone. This episode is for the mom who is exhausted from carrying everyone else's explanations. There is something here that the world's wisdom could never give you — and it may not be what you think it is.  In this episode, you'll discover... 👉 Why the world's wisdom will never give you the answer your heart longs for 👉 The part of your grief that counseling alone was never meant to reach 👉 What God did for thirty-seven chapters before He ever said a single word 👉 What if the answer your heart is aching for is not what you think it is? When the next person hands you an answer that doesn't fit, you don't have to carry it. Take a deep breath and join me for some relief that you been looking for.  P.S. 💛Summer Access Pricing for Calming the Chaos is now available.

• 294. Why Can't I Sleep? Fear's Grip After Child Loss 27.06.2026 8m

  There's a fear that doesn't show up until after your child goes to heaven. It's not the grief everyone warned you about. It's the quiet dread that something is going to happen to someone else you love — and it has a way of finding you at 2 a.m. If you've been waking in a panic, reaching for your phone just to make sure everyone is okay, this Saturday episode is for you. You're not doing grief wrong. You're carrying one of the heaviest, most normal things a grieving mom carries. In this episode, you'll discover... 👉 The recurring dream that gripped Teresa's heart in the early days — and what it taught her about fear after child loss 👉 Why "don't be afraid" was never the command you thought it was 👉 What actually loosens fear's grip over time — and what doesn't You don't have to conquer the fear tonight. You only have to remember Who is with you in it. If your heart is ready to wrap fear, guilt, and doubt in truth, Calming the Chaos is where we do that deeper work together, at your own pace. 👉 Calming the Chaos The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor  
• 293. Does The Pain of Child Loss Ever Go Away? 23.06.2026 15m

  If you are a grieving mom asking, "Does the pain of child loss ever go away?", this episode is for you. You've been doing everything you can just to get through the day. And when the weight becomes too much to carry, you reach for something — anything — to take the edge off. But the comfort never seems to last. And the ache always finds its way back. In this episode, Teresa sits with you in that place. Through the picture of a garden being turned over, she opens up what grief is really doing in you — even on the days when it feels like absolutely nothing is growing. There's a reason the surface comfort isn't reaching the ache. And there's something far deeper that God is doing underneath the ground. In this episode, you'll discover... Why the comfort you keep reaching for never quite reaches the ache What grief is actually doing beneath the surface of your life — even when you can't see it The one thing every mighty oak must have to grow deep roots — and why it's the hardest part of grief.  Why you can't see your own growth right now — and what that does not mean Scripture referenced in this episode: Isaiah 61:3 (NLT) Psalm 126:5-6 (NLT) Wherever you find yourself today, you are not without support. The tears you are crying are seen by your heavenly Father, and what is planted in tears will one day reap a harvest. He is near. And He has never once left you alone. If you're ready to stop reaching for the surface and begin grieving God's way, Calming the Chaos is here to walk through it with you — at your own pace, all summer long. 👉 Calming the Chaos The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor  
• 292. How Long Do I Have to Wait? Child Loss Grief-Hope & Peace 20.06.2026 16m

  You've been praying the same prayer for so long now. Please help me, Lord. Take this pain away. And this morning, nothing about your life looks any different than it did last week — or the week before that. If you've started to wonder whether there's any hope left in the waiting — whether God is even still in your story — this episode was made for you. Today we go to the book of Lamentations, written from the middle of real, unresolved loss, to uncover what you're truly waiting for when you wait on God. Because what you're waiting for may be far closer than you think. In this episode, you'll discover... ✨ Why the waiting itself may be the very place God is doing His deepest work in you ✨ The hidden meaning behind a single word that reframes the entire idea of "waiting quietly" ✨ What I screamed at God in my own backyard one fall afternoon — and the answer that met me there ✨ How relief can begin before a single circumstance around you ever changes If your mind has been too loud to hear Him, there's a place to go underneath the guilt, fear, and doubt — to understand it, release it, and learn to depend on Him again. It's called Calming the Chaos. 👉 Calming the Chaos You are not waiting alone in the dark. He heard you the very first moment you prayed — and He has not forgotten you.

• 291. Child Loss & Grief Brain: You're Not Losing Your Mind 16.06.2026 20m

  Your mind will not stop. The replay. The what-ifs. The guilt that says it was somehow your fault, the fear of what might happen next, the doubt that slips in when you least expect it. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you have started to wonder if grief has done something to your mind that you will never get back. In this episode, Teresa opens up about her own experience with the chaos — the guilt, the fear, and the doubt that nearly convinced her she was losing herself. And she shares the one truth that changed everything about how she walks through child loss. If your own thoughts have become the hardest place you have to live, this conversation will help you understand why — and show you that what feels permanent is not. In this episode, you'll discover... Why your thoughts hold this much power over you — and what is really happening when guilt, fear, and doubt take over What keeps you from solid ground — even on the days your faith feels strong Why these thoughts refuse to loosen their grip — and what finally begins to change that The one small, quiet step that holds far more power than you would ever expect You are not losing your mind. You are a grieving mother carrying what no mother was ever meant to — and there is a way to begin quieting the chaos. The God who is close to the brokenhearted is not asking you to fight your way to peace alone. He is already reaching for you, ready to lead you to solid ground. Ready to go deeper? Calming the Chaos is a ten-session series of faith-based teachings, each with its own workbook, created for grieving moms who are tired of being stuck in the guilt, the fear, and the doubt — and ready to find their way back to living again. You can work through it at your own pace, in your own time with God. 👉 Begin here: Calming The Chaos The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor  
• 290. Why Do I Always Put Everyone Else First? The Hidden Weight Every Grieving Mom Carries 13.06.2026 12m

  You keep showing up for everyone else. Your surviving children, your spouse, your job, the people who never see what you carry. You hand out grace, patience, room to not be okay — to everyone but yourself. In her first episode back, Teresa sits down for an honest, tender conversation about the grace grieving moms give away so freely and almost never keep for themselves. Because here is the truth so many of us live and rarely admit: you cannot give from empty. In this episode, you'll discover... Why the strongest grieving moms are so often the most depleted — and what that strength is quietly costing you Why giving yourself grace is not the same as abandoning the people who still need you What one grieving woman at an empty tomb can show you about being filled back up The verse that says your most emptied-out moment may be the exact place you are held the most If you have forgotten what it feels like to be poured into instead of poured out, this is the gentle place to begin. You are not failing because you are tired. You are carrying something almost no one can see — and the God who is close to the brokenhearted has not stopped tending to you, even now. 🎵 This week's gift: the Grief Worship Playlist — free, and made for the nights when you have no words of your own.

• 289. Who Am I Now? Finding Yourself After Child Loss 09.06.2026 14m

  There is a question every grieving mother eventually asks herself. Who am I — because I don't recognize myself anymore. If that question has been living with you — quietly, in the spaces between the hard days — this episode is for you. Today Teresa walks with you through one of the most tender and misunderstood parts of grief. The part where you begin to catch glimpses of someone forming inside of you — and you are not sure you like her yet. The part where feeling hope brings a wave of guilt you did not see coming. The part where moving forward feels like betraying the child you love. What you are feeling is not what you think it is. And the woman you are becoming is not a stranger. In this episode, you'll discover... 👉 Why the guilt that rushes in the first time you feel hope is not the voice of God — and what it actually is 👉 What the Potter and the clay reveal about the woman forming inside of you — and why she is not a stranger 👉 The truth about moving forward that every grieving mother needs to hear — and why it has nothing to do with leaving your child behind 👉 Why the becoming is slow — and why that is not a sign that something is wrong You are not losing yourself. You are not leaving your child behind. You are being held in the hands of a Potter who has not left the wheel — who has not grown tired of the work — who knows exactly what He is creating, even when you cannot see it yet. 👉 Become A Grief Mentor Insider 👉 If you have been through the Grief Roadmap or you are currently in it — check your email.

• 288. Why Am I Still Here When My Child Is Not — It's Not What You Think 06.06.2026 13m

  When you don't know why you are still here — when your child is not — that is one of the heaviest places a grieving mom can stand. And if you have already said out loud what so many moms say — I don't have a purpose anymore. I don't even know why I am still here — I want you to know that question deserves to be honored. And that is exactly what this episode does. This episode is the next step in a journey.  In this episode, you'll discover... ✨ Why the your purpose is far greater than what you can see right now — and why it doesn't have to be figured out today ✨ What three scriptures say about what was known about you before the foundation of the world was laid ✨ Why the fact that you are still here is not a surprise to God — and what that means for today ✨ What your purpose might actually look like in this sacred time — even when you cannot see it yet You are still here. And so is He. Right here. Right now.

• 286. Surviving Child loss: When the Only Answer Is the One You Cannot Have 30.05.2026 12m

  Grief has a way of locking you onto the hardest parts of your story. The circumstances that feel so wrong. The reality you wake up to every single morning that you never asked for and cannot change. And if you are really honest — the only answer that would ever feel like enough is the one you cannot have. Your child back. Your life back. The way things were before all of this. In this episode, Teresa opens up one of the most powerful stories in all of scripture and shows you something inside of it that just might shift the way you are seeing your story right now. In this episode, you'll discover... ✨ Why the place you are stuck in right now is not what you think it is ✨ What Joseph's years of waiting have to do with exactly where you are sitting today ✨ The question Teresa began asking that started to change everything for her after  Andrew went to heaven ✨ One small step you can take today — even from the locked-in place — that begins to lift the weight You are not alone in this.

• 283. Why Do I Feel So Lonely? Child Loss Grief, Isolation, and Finding Your Way Back 19.05.2026 20m

    There is a kind of loneliness after child loss that no one warned you about. It is not the absence of people. It is the presence of everyone — and still feeling completely alone. Because the one person you want in the room is not there. And that absence has a weight to it that settles into your body, follows you everywhere, and whispers something in the dark that is hard to unhear. This episode is for the mom who has been white-knuckling her way through her days feeling like nobody really sees what this is costing her. In this episode, you'll discover: Why grief loneliness is different from any other kind of loneliness — and why it makes complete sense that you feel it even in a room full of people who love you What the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19 reveals about what God actually does when we hit our breaking point — and why it matters for where you are right now The honest question behind Matthew 7:9-11 that many grieving moms have asked in the quiet of their hearts — and what Jesus' answer really means What begins to shift when you learn to lean into the still small voice — and why His presence is not a feeling but a lifeline You do not have to figure out the forever. You do not have to understand the why. He is not asking that of you today. He is only asking you to lean in — just enough for this next moment, this next hour, this next day.

• 282. Grief Exhaustion: Permission to Rest When You Have Nothing Left 16.05.2026 21m

  You are tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. And somewhere in the back of your mind you already know that — but you keep going anyway. Because stopping feels wrong. Because everyone around you still needs something. And summer is coming and you can already feel the weight of what it used to look like pressing up against what it looks like now. This episode is for the mom who has been holding everyone else together and has forgotten that she is allowed to be held too. The mom who thinks that pushing harder is the answer. The mom who is existing instead of living and doesn't even realize it anymore. Today Teresa gives you something she wishes someone had given her much earlier in her own grief journey — permission to rest. And more than that — she shows you exactly what that looks like right now, in this season, in this life that looks nothing like it used to. In this episode you'll discover... Why the habits you created just to survive grief may no longer be serving you — and what to do about it The two areas Teresa wants you to focus on right now that will significantly affect your grief journey years from now What rest actually looks like when you are a grieving mom — and why it is not selfish, not lazy, and not optional What God's Word says about your permission to stop, breathe, and be led beside peaceful streams  Give yourself permission to rest today.

• 281. Mother's Day Reflections: Grief, Love, and Loss 12.05.2026 17m

  Mother's Day can look so many different ways when you are a mom who is grieving the loss of your child. Maybe it was harder than you expected. Maybe grief showed up in a moment you weren't prepared for. Maybe you sat in a room full of people and felt completely alone. Whatever this past weekend looked like for you — you are not alone, and you are seen. In this episode, Teresa sits down with you — to share, straight from her own Mother's Day, including a moment at church that she wasn't prepared for, a word the Holy Spirit spoke over her, and something she wants every grieving mom to carry into the week ahead. In this episode, you'll discover: Why grief has a way of showing up in the most ordinary and beautiful moments — and what to do when it does What the Holy Spirit reminded Teresa in the middle of her own heaviness — and why it matters for you too Why the waiting room of grief is not what you think it is — and what your one job is while you're in it The greatest courage Teresa has ever witnessed on this earth — and why it belongs to you You don't have to have it all together today. You don't have to manufacture peace or force hope. You just have to draw near.

  Mother's Day is tomorrow. And if you are a grieving mom, you already feel the weight of it pressing in. This episode is not a list of steps or strategies.

• 279. When Mother's Day Hurts: What Every Grieving Mom Needs to Hear 05.05.2026 15m

  Mother's Day is coming — and you already feel it. Maybe it started in the grocery store when you saw the flowers. Maybe it was a commercial. Maybe it was someone asking if you had anything special planned. And something inside of you just stopped. This episode is for you — the grieving mom who is dreading the day that the rest of the world is getting ready to celebrate. You are still a mother. That did not change when your child left this earth. But part of this day feels missing now — and your heart is torn between what was and what is. Whether you are grieving your only child or carrying the weight of loving the children still beside you while mourning the one who is not — this episode was made for where you are right now. If Mother's Day feels more like something to survive than something to celebrate, stay with me. What you'll find in this episode might be exactly what your heart needs before the day arrives. In this episode you'll discover: Why the pain of Mother's Day often starts long before the day itself — and why your heart is not wrong for feeling it What scripture says about how God sees your grief — and why you don't have to conform to the world's version of what Mother's Day is supposed to look like What Jesus did from the cross for his mother — and what that means for you this Mother's Day How to give yourself permission to navigate this day in a way that lets your whole family breathe You do not have to perform okayness this Mother's Day. You do not have to go to the places that will cost you more than you have to give. You have permission to protect your heart — and the hearts of the people around you — while still honoring the love that will never leave you. God sees you. And he has not left you alone in this. 👉 Teresa's Grief Worship Playlist —HERE 👉 Grief Survival Guide — HERE The Grief Mentor Podcast Teresa Davis Your Grief Mentor  
• 278. The Hunger You Can't Name: Grief, Food & Finding Your Way Back 02.05.2026 36m

  You didn't plan for this. The midnight trips to the kitchen. The plate of food you don't remember finishing. Or the smell of dinner that sends you straight to another room because you can't bear it. After loss, something shifts in your relationship with food — and most grieving moms have no idea it's even happening. This episode brings language to something you've been living but couldn't quite explain. Registered dietitian and faith-centered food freedom coach Brittany Braswell joins us to talk about what grief actually does to your body — and why the way you're eating (or not eating) right now makes complete sense. In this episode, you'll discover... ✨ Why grief disconnects you from your body's natural hunger and fullness cues — and what that disconnect actually feels like from the inside ✨ The difference between physical cravings and emotional cravings, and why knowing which one you're feeling changes everything ✨ How restriction and overeating can both be grief responses — and why neither one means you're out of control ✨ A simple 15-second body scan practice you can do today to start finding your way back to yourself You are not broken. You are a mom carrying the heaviest thing a human heart can hold — and your body is doing the best it can to survive it. God has not left you in this. He is present even here, even in this, even now.

• 276. Am I Always Going to Feel This Much Pain After Child Loss? 28.04.2026 16m

   You've asked it in the car. In the middle of the night. Standing in a grocery store aisle when something on the shelf reminded you of them and the weight of it nearly took you out.  Am I always going to feel this much pain ? It's one of the most honest questions a grieving mom asks — and it deserves an honest answer. This episode doesn't offer you a timeline or a promise that it gets easier by a certain date. What it does offer is something more grounded than that — a look at what the pain actually does over time, and who stays close to you inside of it. In this episode, you'll discover... — What the Hebrew word qarob — translated as "close" in Psalm 34:18 — actually means, and why it changes everything about how you hear that verse — Why the word God chose for "brokenhearted" in that same passage is not soft or poetic — and what it tells you about the heart He draws near to — An honest, compassionate answer to whether the pain ever changes — and what shifts, and why — What it means to learn to carry love and loss in the same heart without being destroyed by either one If you want something steady coming into your week — an uplifting word, easy links to the podcast wherever you listen, and a link to the blog for the days when reading feels better than listening — come join the Grief Mentor Insider.
