Episode 6: Faith After Loss: Finding Strength in Something Greater Than Your Pain

When life doesn't make sense, many people begin asking difficult quesions about faith, God and suffering. In this podcast, Marilyn Burns shares how faith can become a source of strength--not because it removes the pain, but because it helps us find hope and meaning while walking with the pain.

Grief has a way of shaking not only our hearts, but our beliefs.

In this episode of Hope After Loss, Marilyn Burns, M.S., L.P.C.C., explores what happens when loss leaves us questioning faith, meaning, and the very things that once grounded us.

Whether your comfort comes through God, prayer, spiritual connection, nature, the universe, or simply the hope that something greater exists beyond your pain, this conversation offers gentle encouragement for the grieving heart.

If you’ve ever asked:
Why did this happen?
Where was God?
How do I keep going when life no longer makes sense?

This episode is for you.

Healing does not require perfect faith—only a willingness to remain open to comfort, meaning, and light.
