In this deeply honest and compassionate episode, Teresa McMillan shares her journey through unimaginable grief after losing her father to suicide.

Teresa loved her dad and was close to him. Just days after a warm and ordinary phone conversation, her world was shattered when he took his own life. The shock, grief, and sense of rejection that follow suicide are difficult to put into words—and despite Teresa’s strong faith, this season tested her in ways she never expected.

As she walked through the valley of loss, Teresa discovered just how fragile she truly was—even though she had once felt spiritually strong. Yet in the deepest darkness, she also encountered the faithfulness of Jesus in a new and profound way. She learned that Christ does not stand at a distance from our suffering, but walks with us through “the valley of the shadow of death.”

This episode gently explores:

Grief after suicide and the questions it raises

Faith shaken—but not destroyed

The pain loved ones carry after loss

God’s nearness in the darkest seasons

Hope, healing, and the comfort of Christ

Teresa emerges from this trial with renewed faith, quiet hope, and the deep comfort that her father is now with Jesus.

This episode is for anyone grieving suicide, wrestling with despair, or wondering where God is in the darkness.
If you feel hopeless, this conversation is meant to leave you with hope.
