What happens when the role that once defined you disappears?

Maybe you were a caregiver, a mother, a spouse—someone who poured everything into another person. And then, one day, everything changed. The person you loved is gone, and now you’re left asking:
Who am I without them?

In this episode of Healing Journeys with Jesus, we’re talking about the fear of stepping into a new identity—the fear that healing means forgetting, that moving forward means losing the last piece of what you had.

We’ll dive into:
✔ The story of Saul becoming Paul—how God didn’t erase his past, but redeemed it.
✔ What happens when we cling to roles that no longer exist and why it feels so terrifying to step forward.
✔ How to trust God when you don’t recognize yourself anymore.

Your story isn’t over. God isn’t asking you to let go of love—He’s inviting you to carry it forward in a new way.
