Surviving Unthinkable Loss and Navigating Grief After Son’s Sudden Death - Jenny Leavitt

The Counter Culture Mom Show on Lightsource.com - Audio

Jenny Leavitt’s youngest son, Jacob, was killed by a drunk driver ten years ago. This overwhelming, traumatic grief drove her to question everything she ever knew about God and the promises found in scripture. Today, Jenny is a mental health coach with Resilient Hope Ministries and the author of God Prints: A True Story - Finding Evidence of God in the Shattered Pieces of Life. Jenny discusses the real-life journey of surviving unthinkable loss and navigating the grief that comes with it. Even with a solid foundation in Christ, she says, deep loss and trauma can shake people’s faith. Ask God if you have questions and don’t be afraid to talk to Him. Job questioned the Lord, and the Lord answered him in his despair. God is a redeemer, and He can use even the darkest moments of our lives to reach others.TAKEAWAYSSometimes, you just need to sit with someone in their grief and be there for themDon’t isolate yourself when you are going through grief - isolation makes you vulnerable to the Devil’s attacksYou are not alone - many other people have experienced trauma; find trusted friends and reach outGrief is not something that simply “goes away;” it is a long process of self-work and emotional challenges🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEJenny’s story video: https://bit.ly/4fFvBm1Restore Patch (get 10% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4g2n3pLGodprints book: https://jennyleavitt.com/godprints/Grief Recovery course: https://www.resilienthope.net/Coping With Grief Guide: https://bit.ly/4mfhS7YChildren’s Grief Support: https://bit.ly/4oF0b3iFamily Grief Activities: https://bit.ly/4lx26nSGrief Impacts Marriage: https://bit.ly/4fHTKZl🔗 CONNECT WITH JENNY LEAVITTWebsite: https://jennyleavitt.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093851053309Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/godprints2023/X: https://x.com/godprints2023YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JennyLeavitt777Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/jennyleavitt75/🔗 CONNECT WITH RESILIENT HOPEWebsite: https://www.resilienthope.net/📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYWholesale Direct Metals: https://wholesaledirectmetals.com/tinaRogershood (get 10% off with code TINA): https://www.rogershood.com/?coupon=tinaMasterPeace (get discounts with code TINA): https://bit.ly/CounterCultureMomCapstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION2024 Recap 2025 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReportMake a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/#counterculturemom #tinagriffin #jennyleavitt #ptsd #anxiety #therapy #mentalhealth #healing #trauma #meditation #tantrums #meltdowns #behavior #grieving #murder #anxiety #loss #accident #grief #jesus #childhoodtrauma #childtrauma #unresolved #traumainformed To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1655/29
