Summary

Today on the show, I get to introduce you to my sister, Tatum Green, and we’re also joined by David Thomas, whom you know and love from Daystar Counseling and the Raising Boys and Girls podcast. Together, we’re going to share with you the story of my nephew, TJ, and why we wanted to put this brand new book, Where Did TJ Go? in your hands. We keep saying this is a book we wish no one needed, but so many families do, and that was our reality as a family in 2022 when we realized we couldn’t find the right book to read to my nephew, Sam, about losing his baby brother. We absolutely have the hope of heaven, but grief and loss can make it feel like it’s always winter and it will never end, so if you’re taking notes in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 19, and we’ve given space to process today as you listen. . . . . .
