In this fourth installment of The Month of the Unsung Heart, Thérèse guides you into the tender, complicated, utterly human reality of gratitude and grace after caregiving ends — especially for those navigating the holiday season with both love and longing in their chest.

Recorded on the 12th anniversary of her mother’s passing, this episode is a deeply personal offering — an exploration of what gratitude really means when you’ve walked someone you love all the way to the end… and are now learning how to live again.

Inside this episode:

🌟 When Gratitude Feels Complicated
Why gratitude in The After is layered, honest, and different from anything the world teaches.

🌟 Grace for the Body That Carried You
Understanding the physical aftermath of caregiving — and reclaiming your right to rebuild slowly.

🌟 Grace for the Heart Still Healing
Why grief has no timeline and why your heart deserves tenderness, not pressure.

🌟 Grace for the Life You Didn’t Choose
How to give yourself permission to grow into the person you’re becoming now.

If the holidays feel heavy, if you’re missing someone you cared for,
or if you're simply learning how to carry both love and grief at the same time…
this episode is a gentle companion for your journey.
