306. Why Is Morning the Hardest Part? Finding Hope After Child Loss

Why Is Morning the Hardest Part? Finding Hope After Child Loss

There's a moment every morning — right before your eyes open — when the day hasn't reached you yet. And then it does. If the first waking moment is the hardest part of your day, this episode was made for you.

In this episode, Teresa shares the sleepless nights and restless mornings after her son Andrew went to heaven — walking the floors of the house, holding her eyes shut against the day — and the small practice she began before her feet ever hit the floor that slowly became the sweetest part of her day. If you've ever wondered why mornings hit so hard, or whether they will always feel this way, there is hope waiting here for you.

In this episode, you'll discover...

👉 Why mornings tend to be the hardest part of the day after child loss

👉 Why those early days felt impossible to process — and the name Teresa gives it that finally fits

👉 The one small thing Teresa began doing before her feet hit the floor that changed her whole day

👉 What Lamentations 3:22–23 really promises about the moment you wake — and what it doesn't

You don't have to be strong before you're ready, and you don't have to meet the morning by yourself. God's compassion is already there, waiting in that first hard moment — every single day.

If the mornings are where you're struggling most, Calming the Chaos is a gentle, go-at-your-own-pace place made for exactly this — for learning how to live again after your child went to heaven.
