When it feels impossible to get up or keep going, know this: survival is enough for today. You don’t need a plan, a timeline, or to have it all together. Grief changes everything—from your body to your identity—and just waking up each day is a courageous act. You’re not a failure for feeling lost. You’re human. Some days, stillness is strength. And when you’re ready, healing begins not by running from the pain, but by gently stepping into it. You didn’t choose this journey, but you can choose how you live within it. You matter. Your healing matters. And you’re not alone.

After child loss, it’s easy to pretend you’re okay—but healing begins when you’re honest about your pain. You don’t have to explain everything, but you are allowed to say, “Today is hard.” Grief shows in ways you may not realize, and there is power in letting others in. Faith will ask more of you than you think you can give—but as you surrender, speak truth, and shift your language, strength will rise. You’re not powerless. You’re not forgotten. There is more for you. With Christ, you can find new identity, new purpose, and a path forward—one that honors your child, your healing, and the woman you’re becoming.

I know there’s no formula for moving forward—but I also know what it’s like to wish there was. Sometimes, the next step doesn’t come through action. It comes through permission—to pause, to not know yet, to soften instead of strive. When I feel stuck, I ask myself a few gentle questions that help me listen—not to urgency, but to what’s true in my spirit and body. It’s not about having the answer. It’s about making space to hear where God might be leading next.
