I also share something my therapist pointed out to me that I use laughter as a defense mechanism and how that truth made me start paying closer attention to myself in ways I can’t ignore anymore. From coming home to an empty house, to realizing how deeply I still feel the absence of my husband in everyday life, to unexpectedly feeling joy and sadness at the same time while celebrating my daughter’s last day of school… this episode is about what it actually looks like to live inside grief while still showing up for life. I talk about what it means to slowly feel like myself again, without pretending I’m the same person I was before loss.

]]> <p>In this episode of For the Love of Mr. Jones, I’m having a real, unfiltered conversation with myself first.</p> <p>This isn’t about blaming other people or revisiting the same pain… this is about accountability. The kind that forces you to look in the mirror and admit that some of your patterns, reactions, and attitudes need work.</p> <p>But we’re also talking about something deeper grief.</p> <p>Because sometimes what looks like a bad attitude… is actually unprocessed pain.</p> <p>Sometimes what feels like irritation… is really overwhelm.</p> <p>And sometimes the things we’re trying to fix on the surface… are rooted in something we haven’t fully healed from.</p> <p>In this episode, I open up about:</p> <p>The patterns I had to break,</p> <p>The truth about my attitude and emotional responses</p> <p>How grief can show up in ways we don’t recognize</p> <p>What I’m doing differently to grow for real</p> <p>And at the end, we sit together through a powerful journal prompt, then go deeper into what it actually looks like to process, not just recognize.</p> <p>This episode is for anyone who is tired of repeating cycles…</p> <p>and ready to grow, even when it’s uncomfortable.</p> <p>Because growth isn’t always pretty…</p> <p>but it’s necessary.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Email us today for business inquires or be a guest on the podcast:</p> <p><a href="mailto:msjonespodcast@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">msjonespodcast@gmail.com</a></p> <p> </p> FortheloveMrJones.podbean.com/a204a4dd-a02a-3f6a-9aa3-0378f024fc2f https://FortheloveMrJones.podbean.com/e/the-truth-about-me-i-couldn-t-avoid/ Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:00:00 +0000 825 no full When It Finally Hits: The Awareness Stage of Grief When It Finally Hits: The Awareness Stage of Grief 26 2 Enhancer In this honest and vulnerable episode of For the Love of Mr. Jones, I open up about why I didn’t show up on Monday and the deeper emotional space I’ve been navigating. What started as trying to stay strong for my kids has shifted into a stage where the reality of loss is hitting in a new way. I share what it feels like to realize he’s truly gone, not just in memory but in everyday life, while also watching my children process that absence in their own ways. From emotional triggers and mental fog to the kind of crying that finally releases what’s been held in, this episode walks through the Awareness Stage of grief. This isn’t about asking for sympathy, it’s about creating a space where we can be real about what we’re feeling, recognize we’re not alone, and learn how to navigate grief one moment at a time.

I talk about what it means to close a door without fully knowing what’s next, and the faith it takes to believe something better is coming. I share my journey of stepping into new opportunities, even when I don’t feel fully grounded, and what it’s like trying to rebuild while grieving. I get real about motherhood, especially the moments where I question if I’m doing enough for my kids, and the weight of raising them while navigating loss and change. I reflect on my son’s behavior, the pressure I put on myself, and the quiet fear of failing, all while still trying to show up with love. I also speak on how grief shows up in unexpected ways, especially around milestones like birthdays, and how I wrestle with “what could have been.” On top of that, I talk about letting go of relationships that no longer align, even within my own family, and the strength it takes to choose peace over connection. This episode is about growth, breaking generational patterns, and learning how to trust God in the middle of it all. It’s honest, emotional, and a reminder that even when life feels messy and unclear, there’s still purpose in the process and I’m still becoming.   Reach out for interviews, sponsorship or to leave feedback.

Yesterday was my daughter’s third birthday, and while it was a beautiful day filled with joy, it was also emotional for me. Since my husband passed away on December 9, 2024, milestones like birthdays feel different. They remind me of love, loss, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward. In this episode, I talk about what it means to hold joy and grief at the same time, how life can change in ways we don’t always expect, and how I’m learning to trust the process of stepping into new chapters. I also share a personal journal prompt that has helped me reflect on the changes happening in my life and how I’m choosing to embrace growth instead of resisting it. This conversation is honest, reflective, and a reminder that even through life’s hardest moments, love, faith, and purpose can still guide us forward.

I talk about the silence that comes when everyone goes back to their lives, the way love changes shape after loss, and how strength doesn’t always look like being okay. I reflect on faith, anger, patience, and the slow process of becoming someone new when the life you planned is gone.

I talk about what it means to hold space for grief in the middle of everyday life, how education and expectations shape the way we process it, and why sometimes a quiet moment in my car can say more than words ever could. It’s a soft, honest conversation about feeling everything all at once and finding small sparks of meaning along the way. Because sometimes, healing starts at a stop sign.

After losing my husband Eric, I changed in ways I didn’t expect. Motherhood felt different. Love felt different. And somewhere along the way, I realized I was mourning the old me , the woman who was softer, more affectionate, and full of life before grief reshaped her. I talk about what it feels like to let go of versions of yourself you never planned to lose ,the healthy you, the happy you, the one who didn’t carry so much. Healing has taught me that sometimes grief isn’t just about who or what we’ve lost, but about who we used to be.
