259. Grief Brain and Decision Fatigue in Child Loss: Too Exhausted to Function

You used to handle a full day without thinking twice. Now even simple choices feel overwhelming. What to wear. What to cook. Whether to answer the phone. And somewhere in the middle of it all, you've started wondering, What is wrong with me?

If you feel mentally drained, foggy, and worn thin in ways sleep can't fix, this episode will help you understand why.

In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on "grief brain" and decision fatigue — and why pushing harder has only made you more exhausted. You'll begin to see how working at the surface level of grief can keep you stuck in chaos, and why clarity — not effort — is what actually restores strength.

In this episode, you'll learn…

• Why decision fatigue is a real and common response to child loss

• How unresolved grief creates mental overload you can't outwork

• What Scripture means when it talks about making "straight paths"

• The difference between striving harder and building real structure

If you are truly tired of trying to outwork a pain that feels bottomless, I invite you to stop striving and come sit with me for a moment.

You don't have to figure this out on your own, and you don't have to keep pushing through the depletion. There is a way to find a smoother path for your feet, and God is inviting you to lean into His strength right where you are.

✨ Live Gathering for Grieving Moms — February 26 & 27

If you're realizing that life without your child has shifted everything — the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the future you thought you were moving toward — you don't have to navigate that disorientation on your own. I'm hosting a two-day live gathering for grieving moms.

This will be a time to come together, be present, and talk honestly about grief, identity, and what it looks like to keep lliving when life no longer feels familiar.
