Summary
After 41 episodes of walking through the valleys of grief and glimpses of grace, Jay takes a pause to look back. In this reflective episode, he unpacks the five recurring themes that have shaped his journey so far: love, God’s relentless goodness, lament, the companionship of joy and sorrow, and trust. Grief doesn’t stand still, it changes us. It refines, reshapes, and reminds us that even in loss, God continues to give. Through tears and truth, Jay shares what it means to keep moving forward, not away from grief, but deeper into grace. If you’ve ever wondered whether things can truly change after loss, this episode offers a quiet but powerful yes. Find out more about me here: https://jaycookingham.com I’m on @buymeacoffee.
