Following a recent conversation with her mom on the podcast, Jennie found herself revisiting a wound she had quietly carried for years. What began as a conversation about flowers placed at Paige's graveside became an unexpected lesson about grief, assumptions, and the gentle way God continues to heal our hearts—even many years after loss. Jennie reflects on the guilt she carried after Paige's stillbirth, the stories she unknowingly told herself about the people she loved, and the grace of discovering that someone else's actions were rooted not in hurt, but in love and grief of their own. Through this honest testimony, she reminds listeners that healing is often less about \"arriving\" and more about continuing to follow Christ as He patiently reveals new truths in His perfect timing. Whether your loss is recent or decades behind you, this episode offers encouragement for grieving parents navigating complicated relationships, lingering hurts, and the ongoing work of healing. It is a tender reminder that our perspective is often shaped by our pain, that God is patient with our hearts, and that sometimes the stories we tell ourselves are not the whole story. We pray this conversation encourages you to extend grace, ask one more question when possible, and trust that the Lord is faithfully at work—even sixteen years later.
