Loud About Loss | Life After Child Loss for Christian Moms, Grief Support, Infant Loss

My new devotional for bereaved mothers,  I Am Near , is available for pre-order now — publishing August 4th. The story of how this book happened is so unmistakably God that I had to share it. A woman from Penguin Random House saw one of my YouTube videos about Gracie. They had an idea for a devotional for bereaved mothers — and they were looking for the right author. They chose me. I had less than...

"Fake it till you make it" works great — unless you're grieving. Then it just makes things worse. 💛If you've ever been told to smile through it, push through it, or just pretend to be okay... this one's for you. ✨ My book JOY DOES RETURN is officially available on Amazon! If this episode spoke to you, this book was written for you. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab your copy here:👉 https://www.ama...

The five stages of grief weren't designed to be a checklist — and they were never biblical. In this episode, I'm breaking down why the "stages" model actually hurts grieving moms, what the Psalms really say about grief, and why you are not failing just because your grief isn't linear. I’m looking for 10 women who have lost a child and are willing to share a little about what life feels like right...

If you've lost a child, you've collected them — the well-meaning "at leasts" that people say when they don't know what else to do. "At least she's not in pain." "At least you got time with her." "At least you still have your faith." They mean well. That's what makes it so hard. In this video I'm breaking down why we say "at least," why it quietly wounds the grieving heart, and what God actually sa...

This one's for the mama who braces herself every May. The one who smiles when someone says "Happy Mother's Day" even though something inside her sinks a little. In this episode, Becky gets honest about what Mother's Day actually feels like after child loss, why you ARE still a mother (the Bible says so), and why some years the holiest thing you can do is close your bedroom do...

Are you actually grieving — or are you just surviving it? Most moms who've lost a child don't realize they've been avoiding their grief. It doesn't look dramatic. It looks like busyness. Numbness. Anger. Managing everyone else. In this video, I share 7 signs that you might be walking around your grief instead of through it — and what to do about it. ✨ My book JOY DOES RETURN is of...

Your grief doesn't have an expiration date — but society kind of acts like it does. In this video, I'm breaking down why the world forgets your child, why it's not entirely their fault (but also kind of is), and — most importantly — two tangible practices to help you stay tethered to the truth of who your child was when everyone else has moved on. What you'll walk away with:  ✅ Th...

After child loss, anger can feel just as overwhelming as grief — and sometimes even guiltier. We’re taught that “strong faith” looks quiet, polite, and accepting. But what happens when your heart is shattered and your prayers sound more like accusations than praise? In this episode, we’re talking about the “Angry Prayer.” We’re diving into the Psalms of Lament — the raw, unfiltered prayers that pr...

Everyone tells you God will comfort you. Nobody tells you He lets you cry first. In Jeremiah 31:15, Rachel is weeping for her children — and God doesn't rush her, rebuke her, or tell her to have more faith. He speaks tenderly after she grieves. That sequence is not an accident. It's permission. If you've felt pressure to "get to the peace" before you're ready, this one's for you. ✨ My book JOY DO...

In this episode, Becky shares reflections from a recent Christian women’s conference where she spoke about loss, faith, and the kind of joy that can still exist after unimaginable heartbreak.

And I’m walking you through five practical steps...
