Episode 10: Surviving the Holidays

“The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.“

John 1:5

I have to learn to hold both grief and gratitude, but what if I don’t even know how to approach a God who let my child die?

Grief was expressed in an open and unrestrained way that was cathartic and communally shared, very much in contrast with the modern emphasis on controlling one’s emotions and keeping grief private.

Welcome to It’s Not for Nothing, a podcast on untangling the mess of grief, faith, trauma, and hope after the death of a child. We are 3 Catholic mothers carrying the extraordinary cross of child loss. If you, too, are grieving a child, we want to provide a safe place for you to come just as you are ... while sharing the encouragement that our God is on the move in the wasteland of your grief.  You and your suffering are both precious to Him. It’s Not for Nothing.

Kelly Breaux, founder of Red Bird Ministries, sits with The Light Project on the Can I Get An Amen Podcast to unpack her journey with child loss.

This precious little lady keeps me on my toes. Listen in on how Red Bird Ministries has been impactful in her life and the life of her family.
