Summary: Listen in as I chat with Mary Margaret Powitz, a wise mama who has walked through the loss of her baby girl Helen. Mary Margaret shares incredible wisdom about her journey with grief, her wrestle with faith and God, and what she is learning right now about life after the loss of a baby. We talk about the enneagram and how our unique personalities grieved differently. We talk about all the ways she felt the most loved and cared for amidst her grief -- helpful for anyone listening who has a friend or family member walking through loss. We talk about the ways she is experiencing God redeem such tragedy -- and the ways she mentions might surprise you. And she is incredibly transparent about what her faith journey has looked like since the loss of her daughter. This episode is tender and honest and I am sure will be incredibly helpful to you. I pray that more than anything your time listening serves as a reminder that you are never, ever alone in this grief journey and that you truly are more loved than you could ever imagine. -- Thank you to Cultivate What Matters for supporting The Joyful Mourning Podcast.
