160: Holding Grief and Peace at the Same Time: My Journey After the Loss of My Mother

In this deeply personal episode of the Mom Keys to Mental Peace Podcast, Tari takes a pause from the Stewardship series to honor her mother, who passed away last month in April.

Through honesty and vulnerability, she shares her experience navigating grief, the complex relationship she had with her mother, and the lessons she’s learned through loss.

From childhood memories and generational patterns to witnessing her mother’s mental health decline, this episode reflects on both the beauty and the brokenness that can exist in relationships.

Tari also opens up about:

• The emotions she experienced after her mother’s passing
• How God showed up through people as the “hands and feet of Jesus”
• The tension between unhealthy coping and choosing healing
• The importance of creating meaningful memories with your children
• Finding peace, even in grief

This episode is for any woman navigating loss, complicated relationships, or emotional healing.

You are not alone in your grief—and God is present in every part of it.

Prayer of Salvation

If you’re ready to invite Jesus into your heart and begin a new life in Him, please pray this prayer with me:

"Dear God, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I admit that I am a sinner and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, and that He died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for loving me and giving me eternal life. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen."
