I’m so thankful for this podcast. I just lost my husband in a horrible traffic accident and I have only listened to your first podcast but Everything you described is exactly how I am feeling. It’s good to know that what I am feeling is normal. I also appreciate the advice given. Especially that we can carry our grief with us because it’s out of the love we have for that person and so many other bits of advice that you gave. Thank you. Melissa Marrero
I found this podcast about two months after my mom passed away. As a person who is n ministry it is challenging to find places to express my grief. The conversations of Daniel and Clarissa and the guests they interview have been a balm to my soul. Thank you for sharing your journeys and encouraging us to do the same.
This is the sort of content all sorts of Christian ministries should be producing. Thanks CT for your work in this and for being a though leader. Thanks to the hosts for being so open and transparent and letting us peak into your life. I lost my mom 6 months ago and it has been an incredible help to me.
Would love to hear author Doug McKelvey author of Every Moment Holy Vol 2 on Grief,Death and Hope add to this meaningful podcast. He has put so many words to the struggle for consolation
Listening to this podcast has been THE ONLY time that I have felt like I’m not not crazy after suddenly losing my ex-husband and the father of my children 2 months ago. The hosts have this very natural “tennis match” style conversation and each topic is so very relatable. I love this!
