⚠️ Trigger Warning:
This episode contains discussion of terminal illness, infertility, and grief.
In this raw and deeply moving episode, JoBeth Polley and I talk about the kind of grief no one prepares you for—the grief that comes with chronic illness, infertility, and lost futures. JoBeth shares her personal story of losing her husband to brain cancer and how it led her to help others through grief. We discuss how chronic illness brings its own brand of silent suffering, how to deal with guilt and spiritual doubt, and what it looks like to reconnect with hope. Whether you’re in a dark season, feeling misunderstood, or searching for God in your suffering, this episode reminds you that you’re not alone—and there’s still more to your story.
