When I sat down to write my book "Joy Does Return", I didn’t know it would change everything.
Writing became the place where I met God again.
Where grief poured out and grace poured in.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing how writing my book became my path to healing. This isn’t about moving on it’s about moving with your child’s memory, your faith, and the God who’s still writing your story, too.
If you’ve ever wondered where to begin healing after child loss, or how to use your story to connect with God again, this episode will meet you right where you are.

A listener recently wrote to me and said,
“I wish I could say that each loss made my faith stronger, but this one has left me with doubts I’ve never faced before. What helps you believe?”
This episode is the first part of my answer to that question. Part 2 is coming.
Because after my daughter Gracie died, I didn’t come out with unshakable faith. I came out angry, heartbroken, and asking, “Where were You, God?”
But over time, I started to see that faith isn’t about certainty—it’s about holding on when you don’t understand.
If you’re struggling to believe God is still good, or even still there, this conversation is for you. You’re not alone, and you’re not failing at faith.

If your baby isn’t here, are you still a mom? I’ve wrestled with that question more times than I can count. The answer is yes—always yes. But living that truth out loud in a world that doesn’t understand grief can feel complicated and lonely.
In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s looked like for me to reclaim my motherhood after loss and find peace in the truth that my role as “Mom” didn’t end when my daughter died. Together, we’ll talk about:
✨ Creating a realistic rhythm for your days when everything feels impossible
✨ Shifting the focus back to yourself (and why that’s not selfish)
✨ How God still calls you a “Mom” even when the world forgets to
Your motherhood is forever. It’s holy. And it’s seen by the One who gave it to you.

After losing my daughter, one of the questions I couldn’t stop asking myself was: “What if I never go back to the person I was before?”
Maybe you’ve thought that too. I used to think if I just worked harder, smiled bigger, or hustled more, I could somehow claw my way back to “before.” But here’s the truth: we don’t go back. We go forward. And forward can actually be good—because forward is where God is.
In this episode, I’m sharing the messy, honest truth about chasing your “old life” and why God isn’t calling you back—He’s calling you forward. I’ll walk you through some practical things that helped me, like journaling with God, letting go of the “before me,” and trying small new things that remind me I’m still being made new.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the ache of missing who you were, I hope this conversation helps you take a deep breath and remember: your identity isn’t in your grief, it’s in Christ. And the new life He’s creating in you is worth stepping into.

Have you ever walked into a room and felt like you didn’t belong? After child loss, that “out of place” ache shows up everywhere—at church, at work, even in conversations with friends who once felt safe. It’s like the world kept moving, but you’re stuck wondering where you fit now that your baby isn’t here.
In this episode of Loud About Loss, Becky gets real about what it means to live in that uncomfortable middle space. She shares her own story of walking back into church after losing her daughter Gracie, and how God reminded her she still belonged—not because she had it all together, but because she was His.
💛 What you’ll hear in this episode:
✅Why grief makes bereaved mothers feel like outsiders
✅What the Bible says about belonging when you feel out of place
✅Practical ways to find connection and community in the messy middle
✅Why your child’s love still shines through you, even in spaces that feel heavy
This episode is for every grieving mom who has ever tugged at her shirt in a room full of moms and thought, I don’t belong here. Friend, you do belong—to God, to your child’s legacy, and to this community that refuses to whisper about grief.

What do you do when the very thing you wish wasn’t your story—becomes the one thing God keeps calling you to share?
In this episode of Loud About Loss, I’m talking about the part of my life I’ve wrestled with the most: grief being the centerpiece of my story. After losing my daughter Gracie, my podcast, my YouTube, and so much of what I create revolves around grief and child loss. And honestly? Sometimes I hate that. It’s heavy. People avoid it. And it makes me feel small, unseen, and unheard.
But here’s the truth—God doesn’t waste our pain. He weaves it into purpose. My story isn’t just about grief; it’s also about finding new joy after loss, reclaiming my identity in Christ, and choosing to live out loud instead of hiding.
🎙 In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why talking about grief still matters (even when people avoid it)
How silence can actually deepen depression and isolation
Where God shows up in the calling you didn’t want
The reminder that your story is bigger than your pain—it’s about joy too
If you’ve ever felt frustrated that grief is such a big part of your story, I get it. This conversation is your permission to wrestle with it and to trust that God is still writing more for you.

When you lose a child, everything you thought you knew about yourself suddenly feels… uncertain. Am I still a mom if my baby isn’t here? Who am I when the world looks at me differently? How do I live in a body and a life that no longer feel like mine?
These are the haunting questions so many bereaved mothers ask—but few ever say out loud.
In this episode of Loud About Loss, I share my own struggle with the identity crisis that followed losing my daughter Gracie, and how grief reshaped every part of how I saw myself. And while the world—and even our own inner voices—try to define us by our loss, the truth is something entirely different.
Piece by piece, through story and Scripture, we’ll uncover where your true identity is found. Spoiler alert: it’s not in your loss, your circumstances, or what others whisper about you. Your identity is secure in Christ Jesus—and it’s unshakable.
💛 In this episode you’ll discover:
Why grief makes you question who you are
How the world tries to label bereaved moms—and why it’s a lie
The surprising place your identity is actually anchored
Practical ways to live boldly in who Christ says you are

Going back to work after child loss feels impossible. The meetings, small talk, and constant pretending to be “okay” can leave bereaved mothers feeling drained and misunderstood. In this episode of Loud About Loss, I share my own experience of returning to work after my baby died—and the anxiety, guilt, and grief that came with it. Together, we’ll walk through practical steps you can take to prepare yourself, ways to set boundaries with coworkers, and how to invite God into the workplace when your heart feels broken.
If you’re a grieving mom wondering how to step back into “normal life,” this conversation is for you. You’ll leave with tools to navigate your work environment while still honoring your child, reclaiming your strength, and finding joy again—even in a place that feels anything but joyful.

On August 2nd, my daughter Gracie should have turned 13. She was born with a congenital heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome and lived just 82 days—but in that short time, she changed my life forever.
In this episode, I’m bringing you with me through the day we honored her birthday this year. From a quiet early-morning walk along the shore of Lake Superior, to baking her pink birthday cake filled with circus animal cookies, to our family tradition of tossing pink roses into the water at Artist’s Point in Grand Marais, Minnesota—this is how we remember and celebrate her every year.
If you’ve walked through child loss, the loss of a loved one, or are in the middle of a grief journey yourself, my hope is that this conversation reminds you of two things:
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).
You’ll hear about:
• Our family traditions for honoring a child after loss
• The balance of grief and joy on milestone days
• Why I didn’t ask others to wear pink or post about it this year
• How faith has carried me through 13 birthdays without her
