TMV: Episode 45 – Loss and Redemption – Part 2
Join us today to hear part two of the Loss and Redemption discussion with widow and mother, Brittany Price Brooker. We hear how Brittany's life has changed since the loss of her husband, and how she now cares for a blended family with kids facing challenges she can't help with. We discuss why mothers can't always be everything and the importance of trusting God to cover the things that you aren’t able to. We touch on how you can best support those who are grieving around you; from what to say, to how to handle the awkwardness you might feel when God prompts you to help. We are all gifted with unique gifts, and sharing these gifts in the community of God can have a bigger impact on someone than you know! There is no timeline to grief, and Brittany highlights the importance of asking for help from those around you when you are in a grieving season. Tune in to learn how to help anyone walking in the valley of death.
