Ep. 019 - Kelsey Oldroyd On Moving Through Grief With Faith

In this tender and faith-filled episode, I sat down with Kelsey Oldroyd, whose life has been shaped by profound loss—and unmistakable miracles.

After losing her husband to cancer, she found herself, just one year later, spending an entire month in an intensive burn unit with her oldest son after a tragic accident. Now a single mother raising four boys, she shares how her relationship with Jesus Christ became not just a comfort, but a lifeline through unimaginable grief and fear.

As a faithful woman of God, she speaks openly about learning to lean fully into the Savior during her darkest moments, and how doing so opened her eyes to the countless tender mercies, blessings, and miracles that surrounded her—even in the midst of trauma.

In this conversation, we discuss trusting Jesus Christ when life feels unbearably heavy, recognizing miracles and God’s hand, saying yes to help, and seeing others as the Savior’s hands, and allowing yourself to feel joy again after deep grief. Her story is one of resilience, humility, and quiet strength. It is a powerful reminder that miracles don’t always look like an absence of pain—but often appear as sustaining grace, unexpected support, and the steady presence of the Savior carrying us through.

If you or someone you love has experienced loss, heartbreak, or trauma, this episode offers hope, perspective, and a gentle invitation to notice God’s goodness even in the hardest seasons.
