Have you ever felt like grief had stolen your smile—and wondered if you’d ever laugh freely again?
In today’s powerful episode of The Published Pearl Podcast, Dr. Jerry Woodbridge—widow, educator, and children’s grief expert—opens her heart to reveal how the Lord turned her own heartbreak into hope for hundreds of families. She shares:
The unusual activity that sparked her calling to write Joy Overcame Sorrow
Why faith is non-negotiable in every page of her children’s grief books
Concrete, Spirit-led strategies (journaling, memory notes, empathy vs. sympathy) you can use right now to help a grieving child or friend
Scripts & Psalms that anchored her through miscarriage, loss, and widowhood
A game-changing question to ask six months after loss: “How can I pray for you today?”
“God trades our deepest sorrows for His lasting joy.”
