277. Why Do I Feel Guilty for Having a Good Day? What Grief Guilt Really Means

There is a moment that almost every grieving mom knows. You had a good day — maybe even just a good hour — and before you could fully exhale, the guilt came rushing in. How dare I feel okay. How dare I laugh. How dare I have a good day when my child is no longer physically here with me.

If that is where you are, I want you to know that what you are experiencing is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It is not a sign that you loved your child less. And it is not something that gets talked about honestly very often.

In this episode, you'll discover...

✨ Why guilt shows up after a good day — and what it is actually trying to do inside your grief

✨ The difference between guilt and the Holy Spirit's conviction — and why so many grieving moms confuse the two

✨ What the Greek word for condemnation really means — and why it changes everything about the verdict guilt keeps pronouncing over you

✨ The truth about your love for your child that guilt has been keeping you from hearing

You are not a bad mother for having a good day. You are not betraying your child by laughing, by breathing easier, by letting life be okay for a few hours. And God's Word has something very specific to say about the verdict guilt keeps delivering.

Come and listen. You are safe here.
