In this heart-deep episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I sit down with Shaina, a courageous wife and mama who shares her powerful story of faith after loss. Together, we talk about what it means to keep breathing through heartbreak and how to recognize God’s presence in grief, even when you aren’t looking for Him.

Shaina opens up about losing her first child, the darkness that followed, and the surprising ways grace held her together before belief even returned. She also shares the beautiful redemption of her rainbow baby, the moment her husband suggested going back to church, and how that small step led to a powerful season of rediscovering faith.

We talk about the simple but transformative power of prayer, gratitude journaling, and putting pen to paper when words are hard to find. Shaina reminds us that healing doesn’t happen in isolation, it happens in community, in conversation, and in those quiet, grace-filled moments when we realize God was there all along.

If you’ve ever felt lost in your sorrow or wondered how to find hope again, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that gratitude can exist even in pain, and that God’s light always finds its way through the cracks.

Scripture:
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”, 1 Thessalonians 5:18
