Grief Support Texts

If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or just trying to get through the week, this is a soft place to land.

You’ll receive 1–3 text messages each week — steady reminders that:

  • You’re not grieving wrong
  • You’re not losing your mind 
  • You’re not alone
  • You’re going to be okay

No responding. No homework. Just quiet, steady support.

When “Why God?” Won’t Go Away

Do you continually wonder “Why did you let this bad thing happen God?” and wish there was a real, satisfying explanation (i.e. not just platitudes or clichés)? 

I know, answers don’t bring your loved one back, but they can help if your brain is spinning with questions:

  • What did I do to deserve this kind of pain?
  • Why do bad things happen to good people?
  • Does God hate me?

This Free 6-Part email series will give you relief by:

  • Debunking the 4 most common cliches people use and why they don’t help you to feel better, at all
  • Uncovering the real reasons for pain and suffering
  • Helping you move forward in a way that continues to honor your loved one
