Summary

Today we’re re-airing a special conversation that I got to have with my sister, Tatum Green, and our friend and counselor, David Thomas. We first shared this conversation back in February when Where Did TJ Go? released, and it’s one that so many of you have told me has stayed with you. Today on October 15th — Infant Loss Awareness Day — we wanted to bring it back, to honor the families who have walked through loss, to hold space for your stories, and to remind you that you’re not alone. This is a tender and honest conversation — we talk about grief, faith, and what it looks like to keep trusting God when life doesn’t turn out the way you thought it would. David offers such wise, gentle guidance, and I’m just so grateful for how he helped us put words to what can feel impossible to say. If you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, you’ll find note-taking pages for this episode back in the winter section, on page 19. Find the show notes here . . . . .
