The person you lost occupied a real place in your life—and that relationship doesn’t suddenly become meaningless when they die.

Their absence matters because the relationship mattered.
In this episode of Finding Hope, Charlie and Jill are joined by longtime friends Butch and Julieann Hartman. Butch, creator of The Fairly OddParents, shares about the sudden loss of his longtime friend and composer, Guy Moon, while Julieann shares candidly about losing her mother.

Through their stories, they talk honestly about what it’s like to live with the empty space someone leaves behind. Although the person you love is no longer here, the love you shared, the memories you carry, and the impact of their life remain.

After the death of someone you love, one of the hardest realities to face is the permanence of the loss on this side of life. As painful as it is, accepting what cannot be changed can become an important part of grieving.

Charlie and Jill share how they faced this reality after the loss of their son and discovered that acceptance doesn’t mean letting go of love or hope.

Grief is real, but it can also be wrapped in hope—the hope of eternal life and seeing our loved ones again.

Sometimes, genuine faith encounters genuine loss, pain, and disappointment.

In this conversation, Charlie and Jill sit down with their longtime friend and pastor, Sean Yost, to talk about the importance of acknowledging the pain and disappointment people can experience, even as believers.

Together, they explore why we need to be honest about what people are going through—and how, as the body of Christ, we can learn to make room for their pain rather than trying to explain it away or fix it.

Grief doesn’t disappear simply because time passes. Painful memories can surface without warning, questions can linger, and some days the battle in your mind can feel as difficult as the loss itself.

Even when you’re hurt, disappointed, or not ready to reach for Him, God is patient. His love remains, His mercies are new every morning, and little by little, He can help you dare to hope again.

This episode is Part Two of The Mental Battle After Loss, the second teaching from Charlie and Jill’s Jesus Heals Broken Hearts series, originally shared on Healing Journeys Today.

Loss doesn’t only break your heart—it can leave you trying to make sense of what happened and searching for answers that may not come. In this episode, Charlie and Jill describe how they found themselves facing questions they couldn’t resolve and a grief that couldn’t simply be pushed aside.

While you may not understand everything that has happened, you can learn to live in what you know rather than becoming trapped in what you don’t.

When we experience the loss of someone we love, suffering becomes deeply personal. It can leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, and alone. But you don't have to hide your questions or your sorrow from God. Even when you don't understand what has happened, you can continue to trust His heart, knowing He patiently walks with you through every step of the journey.

In Part Two of their conversation with host Christi Bovee on My Story, My Song, Charlie and Jill share how, in time, they learned to trust God's heart again after everything they believed had been deeply shaken.

Through their song, Choosing to Believe, they reveal why faith isn't pretending the pain isn't real—it's deciding that, even when the mountain doesn't move, God is still good and still near.
