When Grief Keeps Piling Up: Finding God in the Hard Seasons | Jen Conrad

What happens when life brings one loss after another, and you barely have time to process what you've been through?

In this episode of the Purpose Beyond Motherhood Podcast, Nicole sits down with Jen Conrad, author of Finding God in the Trenches, for an honest conversation about compounded grief, identity, and finding God in seasons when He feels distant.

Jen shares how losing a business, navigating a difficult adoption journey, and grieving the death of her mother left her struggling emotionally and spiritually. For a long time, she tried to keep moving forward rather than face what she was feeling.

Together, Nicole and Jen talk about the different forms grief can take, including infertility, pregnancy loss, and the loss of dreams we imagined for our lives.

Jen also shares practical ways she began processing her grief, including journaling, building a support system, seeking counseling, and learning to be honest with God about what she was experiencing.

If you've been walking through one difficult season after another, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to have everything figured out before coming to Jesus.
