Dr. Stacy Jensen: Purposeful Grieving
In this deeply moving episode, Adriane sits down with Dr. Stacy Jensen, a woman whose strength and faith have been shaped by unimaginable loss. After enduring three miscarriages and the heartbreaking loss of her husband to cancer, Stacy shares her powerful journey of grief, healing, and hope.
“Grief is love without a place to land”
~Dr. Stacy Jensen
Stacy’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and how even in the darkest moments, there can be light. Stacy discusses how her grief led her to write Purposeful Grieving, a book that provides a roadmap for finding meaning and peace despite loss. She also opens up about her bold prayer life and how her relationship with God has been a constant source of comfort and guidance through her pain.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that even in the depths of sorrow, there is always hope–and through grief, we can find purpose.
“God has purpose for each of us in all things.”

“Faith is how you grasp onto God’s plan for you…Faith is not up to me. It is a gift.”
~Dr. Stacy Jensen
Scripture Inspiration
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.“
-Romans 5:1-11
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” -Romans 15:13
