#235// Do I Still Have Purpose? Why It's Not What You Think

You made it through Thanksgiving. Whether this was your first holiday without your child or another year navigating memories and emotional weight, I want you to pause long enough to recognize this: you showed up in your grief. Not because you pretended to be okay, and not because you handled every moment smoothly, but because your love for your child is still alive within you — and that love gave you the strength to face what felt impossible.

As we step into December, many grieving moms begin to wrestle with a familiar question: If my child is no longer walking beside me, do I still have purpose? It can feel confusing, heavy, or even painful to imagine the future when the one you love is no longer here to share it. Today, we're exploring why purpose after child loss is not something you figure out or force — and why it may not look anything like you expect.

Inside this conversation, you'll discover…

• why purpose doesn't begin with a plan, goal, or calling

• what Jesus reveals about hearts that struggle to hear hope

• how Isaiah's encounter with God reframes purpose in grief

• why a willing heart matters more than certainty, confidence, or direction

Purpose is not something you earn or achieve. You don't have to know what's next, feel strong, or perform your way into it. If all you can offer today is a quiet, tear-soaked, honest whisper — "Here I am, Lord" — that is where purpose in grief begins.

Press play and take a breath, friend. God is not asking you to figure out your future. He's simply inviting you to be open to Him right where you are. 💛
