He also talks about what actually helps when someone is grieving, why presence matters more than explanations, and how therapy, faith, and community helped him keep going.\nThis is a deeply honest conversation about child loss, adoption, grief, faith, and finding hope when life does not make sense.\nSponsors / Partners Mentioned:\nGlobal Creation Foundation: globalcreationfoundation.org\nJessica Chapman Art: jessicachapmanart.com\nBooks / Resources Mentioned:\nDying Well by Ira Byock - https://amzn.to/4oSlgro\nThe Bible by Various Authors - https://amzn.to/4v1YsHe\n(suggested after the podcast) Experiencing Grief By H Norman Wright - https://amzn.to/4ge6sBo\nThis is Pivot or Die: real stories, hard pivots, and hope on the other side.\nSubscribe for more honest conversations about life’s hardest pivots.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/I1u1c_PQnraRyAafnkp-jaKjruk4_BJ921czegagLgQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wZGQx/YzM2ODhjY2YyZDRj/YzQ0NTlkMzIwNWEx/NmY3MC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
