The Long Term Grief of Child Loss? 5 Things God Is Doing in the Waiting

Are you still hurting —trying to make sense of it all after the loss of your child? Do you wonder why you haven’t “moved on,” even though everyone around you seems to have? If so, this episode is for you.

We’re talking about what long-term grief really feels like—and what it doesn’t mean about your faith. If you’ve felt stuck, exhausted, or spiritually distant, this episode will help you see your grief through a new lens: God’s. Because what feels like waiting to you… may be where God is doing His deepest work.

You’ll discover:

🕊 The 5 powerful things God does in the waiting
💔 Why rushing your grief could mean missing God’s presence
📖 What the story of the Israelites can teach us about daily dependence
🙌 How to notice God's provision, preparation, and personal nearness—even in the quiet
🛑 Why you’re not behind, not broken, and not alone

You’ll also hear a beautiful message from Lisa—a grieving mom who joined The Grief Roadmap and found the support, safety, and truth her heart needed.
