#240 // Why Can't I Control My Grief? Learning to Let Go Without Losing Your Child

There comes a moment in grief when striving runs out. When you've tried to hold it together, tried to understand, tried to manage the pain — and you realize you can't carry it this way anymore. If you're a grieving mom who feels exhausted by trying to control what can't be fixed, this episode is for you.

In this fifth episode of the Advent series, we turn to Mary's quiet, courageous surrender in Luke 1:38. Mary didn't say yes to God because she understood the road ahead — she said yes because she trusted the One who would walk it with her. Her surrender didn't remove hardship, but it changed how she carried it.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why surrender in grief is not weakness — it's wisdom

• What Mary's "yes" teaches grieving moms about trust without certainty

• How control often becomes a survival strategy after loss

• Why surrender doesn't mean letting go of your child, your love, or your story

This Advent, you're invited to stop striving — and begin entrusting your heart to God, one day at a time.
