Hi Sweet Mama,
I’m Courtney

I lost my precious 4-year-old son, Sam, in 2017 and it’s my mission to help fellow grieving mamas walk through the pain and heartache of losing a child. On this site, I’ll teach you how to lean on Jesus, begin the healing process over your shattered heart, and learn how to start living again.

Read my story…

mother and child who is in heaven now

“A balm for my soul”

The Unlocking Joy After Grief Podcast

Does the thought of having to live in a world without your child cripple you? Do you wish you had a way to see beyond this all consuming pain and grief? Are you tired of wrestling with the question “Why”? Do you just want someone to understand how you feel?

In this podcast, you will find someone who understands all the emotions that come with losing a child. My mission is to help you along your journey of healing, rediscovering who you are, and helping you find the joy in life again.

Thank you for creating this podcast. It is so needed as there are not many Christian podcasts dealing with grief especially grief from loss of a child. I myself lost my 8 year old daughter due to a drowning accident almost 2 years ago, and am still processing this all. I appreciated listening to your story about your son Sam. Thank you for sharing it so openly even though I know it was difficult to share it. May God bless you and the ministry through this podcast.
