Summary

Have you ever felt like you've just gotten to a good place in life only to have it completely unravel unexpectedly? What do you do when you had finally reached a mountaintop and then find yourself in the deepest valley? Danita Jenae knows all too well how life can be looking up only to seemingly fall apart in a moment. After struggling with chronic health issues and finally finding some relief, her world was forever changed when her husband passed away. New to town, without a community and just before the world changed for everyone with the pandemic, Danita didn't even have the resources she needed to make it through such a devastating loss. But God was gracious and even in the isolation, the loneliness, and the doubts, He proved Himself faithful in Danita's story. Davey and Danita both know the pain of losing a spouse and how it can forever change your life. In this conversation, they talk about what to do in the silence and doubt after loss, why lament is so imperative for finding our way through grief, and how to help kids through grief when we don't know what to do. Whether you've seen mountains crumble around you or not, this episode is a reminder that in our greatest pain, God is still making a way for us.   Website: www.danitajenae.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/danitajenae Book: When Mountains Crumble: Rebuilding Your Life After Losing Someone You LoveHave you experienced a recent loss or trauma and don't know where to go after everything changes?
