Grief isn’t linear, and missing a loved one can surface in quiet, unexpected ways—through a song, a scent, or a season. In this deeply personal episode, Rachel Wojo, host of Untangling Prayer opens her heart about the loss of her mother, father, and daughter, and how that ache of absence continues to shape her.

Psalm 34:18 reminds us that God doesn’t retreat when we are brokenhearted—He draws near. He doesn’t demand we “get over it.” Instead, He sits with us in our sadness. Missing someone is a reflection of great love, and Rachel beautifully invites us to honor that love, hold it close, and find solace in God’s eternal presence.


✨ What You’ll Learn:

  • Why it’s okay to grieve deeply and long for someone who’s gone

  • How God gently meets us in the midst of our heartbreak

  • The truth that missing someone is a sign of how deeply we loved

  • How to move forward while honoring a loved one’s memory
