#194 // When Tragedy Strikes: Straying Grounded As Grieving Moms

When tragedy strikes again—somewhere else, to someone else—it can shake the ground beneath your feet. If you’ve been feeling heavy after hearing about the devastating loss of children in Texas, you're not alone. As a grieving mom, watching someone else go through the very thing you’ve survived can reopen the wounds of your own loss. In this episode, Teresa shares how to navigate these moments without losing the progress you've made in your own grief. She offers spiritual truth, emotional validation, and three practical ways to stay grounded when public tragedy feels deeply personal. You’ll learn: What it means to bear witness without becoming overwhelmed Why your compassion is a sacred strength, not a burden How to use your God-given purpose to comfort others in simple, powerful ways Why it's okay to set boundaries with the news How the Holy Spirit led Teresa to reframe this week’s tragedy—and how He can meet you in it, too 💔 If your heart is aching again, this episode will remind you: Your grief has made you deeper. And even when there is a crisis … you can stand firm.
