Finding Comfort in Grief: Healing Hope with Jill Sullivan | S2 Ep9 (2025)
In this deeply moving episode of the Closer to Jesus podcast, I sit down with Jill Sullivan from the ministry “While We’re Waiting.”
Jill and her husband Brad have dedicated their lives to helping parents navigate the heartache of losing a child, finding comfort and healing in the name of Jesus.
Together, we explore:
- Jill’s personal journey through loss and the story of her beloved daughter, Hannah.
- How Jesus met her in the midst of her grief, echoing the promise of Matthew 5:4: “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”
The powerful reminder from Psalm 139:15-16 that God has known us since before we were formed:
“My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
- How experiencing Jesus in our worst moments can turn personal tragedy into a ministry of hope and support.
- Practical steps for helping others through grief and the importance of support groups and retreats for healing.
If you or someone you know is struggling with loss, this episode offers encouragement and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, Jesus is there to comfort and guide us. Join me as we share stories of hope and healing, and learn how to lean on God’s everlasting love.
