Welcome to a deeply personal episode of The Journey to Becoming. 💛 Today, I’m sharing my story of grief and healing after losing loved ones to suicide — and how, even 14 years later, God is still bringing restoration into my life.

Grief and joy are not opposites. They can coexist. 🌿 While grief is a natural response to deep loss, joy is a supernatural gift that flows from standing firm in God’s Word and His promises. In this episode, I open up about the process of shifting from asking “why” in our pain to asking “what” — What does God say about me? What does His Word reveal about who He is? What healing and purpose does He want to bring through this story?

We’ll talk about:
✨ The power of God to heal even the deepest wounds.
✨ Why we can’t listen to the lies of the enemy in our pain.
✨ How to lean into God’s truth for strength, comfort, and renewal.
✨ Scriptures that remind us that joy and grief can walk hand in hand.

If you’ve walked through the devastating pain of suicide loss, or you’re carrying any kind of grief, this episode will remind you that God has not abandoned you. He is still writing your story, and His restoration is greater than any loss. 🙏

🎧 Tune in now to be encouraged, strengthened, and reminded that even in the darkest valleys, joy is possible when we stand firm on the Word of God.
