Navigating Grief as a Mom, a Christian, and a Friend - with Liz Tichenor

*TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses infant loss, alcoholism, and suicide and may be distressing for some listeners.* If you’ve ever met deep grief and profound loss, you’re in a club that no one wants to be in. And you now know well that once you’re in, you’re in…there’s no getting out, there’s just living around it. But, hopefully, you’ll be able to not just live around it, but eventually thrive around it, too. Today’s guest, Liz Tichenor, got double whammied losing her mom and newborn son within two years - and as a toddler mama and young church leader, she had a lot ot navigate in the aftermath (including her faith). Liz is refreshingly real and raw on navigating grief as a mom and grief as a Christian, sharing how she got through it (and thrives today). She also gives super specific ways to support your friends through grief and loss, too, so share this episode with a friend of a friend who may need it most!
