After much prayer and decision making, I decided the best way to make my journey through the horrific pain and grief of losing 7 incredibly valuable people in my life, was to be transparent and share how God's help has brought me day by day into healing. This website was created www.griefguideministries.com because we all needed compassionate and positive support and a community ourselves. Almost overnight it became a great source of friendship and meaningful ministry for many women in grief also.
I began a podcast called 'Growing the Leader Within' of the actual GGM live lessons that are being taught and the link is below. It's on all major streaming platforms. There are positive lessons being uploaded weekly. It is now being downloaded in 14 nations as well as across America... and I pray it is a positive support and provides good coping skills to all those who know the Lord Jesus as their Saviour.
Growing the Leader Within Podcast
There is now a book with 13 chapters called 'Beyond the First Year' - available now on Amazon. Another book is being published by the end of 2024.

Also a journaling book 'My Grief Journal' book is being put together of my first steps God directed me to take in my own healing process. All very helpful to learning how to breath again and to find comforting healing.
There are other valuable tools now available to listen to through Spotify such as this CD musical project called 'Hymns for the Heart' with my own late husband singing the lead on many of the songs.
From my own experiences in handling losses over the years, I have shared my personal coping skills in this project called 'Comfort in Grief' which is a soothing experience for stabilizing and centering a person of faith. It is published publicly as well as available in a CD format.
This is a very comforting therapy to do when a grief storm hits and one can barely breath.
Today the GGM lessons are also heard on the online radio station twice weekly (3am and 12noon cst on Mondays) at www.thebpginspirationalstation.com
These ministry tools were created In my loving honor of...

May these lessons, and events help every woman find comfort in loss. Jesus said, He came to heal the brokenhearted, and I can attest that He is healing mine and many others in GGM. God is doing something very special and it is marvelous in our eyes!
