E113: When Surrender Is The Only Good Option

Jill M. Lillard, MA LPC Season 2025 Episode 113

Part four of our Loosening Your Grip Series.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Heather Gilion as she shares her family’s journey through her son’s cancer diagnosis and the decision to amputate his leg. This isn’t a teaching. It’s not a step-by-step. It’s a real-life story of loss, faith, and the kind of surrender you don’t plan for—but choose because it’s the only good option.

If you’re holding on tight to something right now, afraid of what will happen if you let go, I pray this conversation softens your grip.

Let’s get into it.
