Show Notes In previous episodes, we’ve explored a variety of stories that have shared the different ways we can grieve and the different types of losses we may experience. However, some experiences with grief and loss can prove far more complex, especially when someone is dealing with grief and loss while still in the presence of the person or even in a relationship. How can one both move through the unique type of grief associated with domestic abuse? Is it possible to heal from it and become whole? In this episode, Jennifer has a conversation about a topic that may be difficult to hear or watch. Tune in to this candid interview with our guest, Jenny duBay, as she courageously shares about a topic near and dear to her heart to help others know they are not alone. Our GuestJenny duBay writes historical fiction inspired by the lives of medieval mystics - women who walked through chaos, suffering, and spiritual fire, and emerged with a grace that still speaks across centuries. Their courage became a lifeline in her own healing journey. Now she tells their stories, weaving history with themes of resilience, beauty, and the search for truth, so they can inspire others the way they inspired me.In addition to her fiction, she also writes non-fiction for women navigating betrayal, trauma, or spiritual wounds—not with formulas or platitudes, but with honesty, clarity, and the reminder that they are not alone.Connect with Our Guest <ul><li><a href="https://www.jennydubay.com">www.jennydubay.com</a></li><li><a href="https://www.jennydubay.com/contact-me">Contact Jenny duBay</a> </li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jennydubay/">Facebook</a></li><li><a href="https://substack.com/@jennydubay">Substack</a></li></ul> Saint Quotes<ul><li>“All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.” - <a href="https://uscatholic.org/calendar/julian-of-norwich/">Julian of Norwich</a></li></ul><ul><li>"I am she who is not; God is the One Who is.” - <a href="https://www.franciscanmedia.org/franciscan-spirit-blog/st-catherine-of-siena-the-feisty-dominican/">St. Catherine of Siena</a></li></ul> Scripture<ul><li><a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/revelation/21">Revelation. 21:5</a></li><li>“Ask and ye shall receive.” <a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/11">Luke 11:9</a></li><li>“[I] can do all things through [Christ] who strengthens [me].” <a href="https://www.bible.com/bible/114/PHP.4.13-23.NKJV">Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)</a></li><li><a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/psalms/55">Psalm 55: A Lament over Betrayal</a></li><li>"Blessed are You, O God, with every pure blessing ...
