When “God Has a Plan” Doesn’t Feel Like Comfort
A Complimentary Guide for Grieving Hearts Who Need Room to Breathe
You’re doing your best to hold it together.
But then someone—probably well-meaning—offers a phrase that lands like a ton of spiritual bricks:
“God has a plan.”
In moments of deep pain, these words can sting more than soothe.
This short, powerful guide offers 5 respectful, heart-centered ways to respond when someone offers spiritual clichés that just don’t help.
✨ Inside You’ll Discover:
âś… Compassionate responses that honor your grief and your boundaries
âś… How to stay true to yourself without escalating conflict
âś… Gentle language that gives you permission to feel what you feel
âś… Words that protect your peace without burning bridges
🌿 Why This Matters
Faith and grief can absolutely coexist.
But that doesn’t mean every loss has a neat explanation—or that you need to smile and nod through the discomfort.
Whether you believe in divine purpose, sacred mystery, or are still sorting that out, this guide meets you where you are—with tenderness, not theology.

Meet Christine
Hey there!
Hi, I’m Christine Panka—grief coach, life transition guide, and founder of The Midlife Surprise Society.
I help midlife women who feel lost after loss find emotional clarity, self-trust, and a renewed sense of direction—without rushing their grief or losing themselves in the process.
After navigating the unexpected losses of loved ones, identity shifts I never saw coming, and the unraveling of what I thought was certain, I discovered this truth:
👉 You don’t need a perfect plan. You need space, support, and someone who truly gets it.
That’s why I created this guide—and the community behind it. Whether you're wrestling with grief, recovering from betrayal, or simply trying to breathe through the weight of “what now?”—you’re not alone.
Let’s walk this road together.
With honesty. With compassion. And yes, sometimes with snacks.
