If you’ve ever walked past a quiet bedroom and felt your throat catch… If you’ve opened the pantry and realized their favorite snack is still there... If your arms feel just a little too empty, and your calendar a little too blank...

This episode is for you.

Today, we’re talking about missing them — your grown kids, your away-at-school teens, your just-married young adults. That ache in your chest? That’s love. And journaling can give that love somewhere to go.

We’ll walk through:

How to write through the ache without drowning in it
Why your grief is sacred, not shameful
A guided letter-writing practice to express what you’re feeling and remember what matters
And Scripture that holds you in this season

If you’ve been missing them lately — let’s make space for that together.

✍🏼 Journaling Prompts:

What do I miss most about having them close — and what do I want to remember forever?
How can I express my love today — through prayer, letter, or blessing — even from afar?
What does God want to show me about the lasting impact of my love in their life?
