276. Am I Always Going to Feel This Much Pain After Child Loss?

You've asked it in the car. In the middle of the night. Standing in a grocery store aisle when something on the shelf reminded you of them and the weight of it nearly took you out.

Am I always going to feel this much pain ?

It's one of the most honest questions a grieving mom asks — and it deserves an honest answer.

This episode doesn't offer you a timeline or a promise that it gets easier by a certain date. What it does offer is something more grounded than that — a look at what the pain actually does over time, and who stays close to you inside of it.

In this episode, you'll discover...

— What the Hebrew word qarob — translated as "close" in Psalm 34:18 — actually means, and why it changes everything about how you hear that verse

— Why the word God chose for "brokenhearted" in that same passage is not soft or poetic — and what it tells you about the heart He draws near to

— An honest, compassionate answer to whether the pain ever changes — and what shifts, and why

— What it means to learn to carry love and loss in the same heart without being destroyed by either one
