In this heartfelt episode of the Drive Thru Moms Podcast, host Lynn Nitcher sits down with special guest Amanda Guillot for an honest and deeply meaningful conversation about navigating motherhood after losing a parent to suicide.
As part of Suicide Awareness Week, Lynn and Amanda gently walk through Amanda’s story—how losing her mom shaped her as a daughter, a woman of faith, and now, as a mom raising three children of her own. Together, they explore how grief doesn’t have to define you, how God brings healing through His presence and people, and the power of staying rooted in hope through seasons of sorrow.
We also talk practically about:
Parenting through grief and learning to be honest with your kids
How Amanda has intentionally built a home filled with grace, safety, and open conversations
The impact of losing a parent on milestone moments
Why godly mentors and community matter so deeply
What the Bible says about comfort, loss, and hope
With Scripture, statistics, and real-life perspective, this episode is both a sacred space for moms who have experienced loss and an important listen for any mom wanting to lead with compassion, intention, and faith—especially during the teenage years.
📖 Scriptures shared: Psalm 34:18, Psalm 46:1-3, 1 Peter 1:3
Whether you’ve walked through grief yourself or are walking with someone else who has, this conversation is filled with encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that in Christ, we are never without hope.
