How My Mother’s Death Pulled Me Away From Faith
I was born and raised Roman Catholic. Church was routine. Faith was familiar. But when my mother died, everything changed.
Grief made it easy to walk away not just from church, but from trusting God’s plan altogether. What I didn’t understand then was what a real relationship with Jesus actually looked like, or what surrender truly meant.
This episode of Unshaken Voices speaks honestly about how loss can quietly pull us away from faith and how God remains present even when we step back.
If you’ve ever questioned God after loss, this story is for you.
🎙️ Unshaken Voices with Denise PimentelEpisode 2 coming Wednesday

Episode 2 | Unshaken Voices “I think when I really surrendered myself was last December.” She speaks honestly about a season marked by grief, loneliness, frustration, anger, and bitterness. A time when faith existed in theory, but not in priority. Prayer was occasional. Hope felt distant. And then, in an ordinary moment, something shifted. A return after years away. A quiet surrender. A simple sentence overheard in a parking lot: You don’t have to do this alone. God’s there for you. That was the moment it clicked. Not that God had arrived, but that He had been there all along. As the storm silences the world and keeps us home tonight, stories still speak. Episode 2 is coming. Episode 2 of Unshaken Voices is a reminder for anyone who feels worn down, disconnected, or unsure how to find their way back. Surrender doesn’t come with perfection. It comes with honesty. 🎧 Episode 2 coming soon. 🤍 You are not alone in this. #UnshakenVoices #FaithJourney #Surrender #Testimony #ChristianPodcast #FindingYourWayBack #GodIsNear #HopeAfterGrief #YouAreNotAlone

In this first episode of Unshaken Voices, I sit down with my husband, Ryan, to talk honestly about what it looks like to walk through mental illness, caregiving, marriage, faith, and recovery when life takes an unexpected turn. We share our real experiences navigating bipolar disorder, the fear and uncertainty that comes with mental health crises, the strain caregiving can place on relationships, and how everything shifted after I suffered a stroke in December 2024. This conversation isn’t about having all the answers or offering quick fixes. It’s about showing up, staying grounded in faith, and learning how to keep going when life doesn’t go the way you planned. If you are living with mental illness, caring for someone you love, walking through grief or trauma, or trying to hold onto hope in a hard season, this podcast is for you. Unshaken Voices is not a crisis resource or a substitute for professional care. It is a space for real stories, lived experience, and honest conversations meant to remind you that you are not alone. #UnshakenVoices #MentalHealthAwareness #CaregiverSupport #BipolarDisorder #StrokeRecovery #MentalHealthJourney #FaithAndHealing #CaregivingLife #RealStoriesRealHope #MarriageAndMentalHealth #HopeInHardSeasons #YouAreNotAlone

I can't handle this — then someone showed up

There were moments when everything felt like too much and I knew I could not handle it on my own. In those moments, faith became more than a belief. It became a lifeline.
This is a real story about reaching a breaking point, walking without direction, and experiencing God’s intervention through another person. It is about fear, surrender, and the quiet but powerful way God meets us when we cannot move forward alone.

Episode 1 of Unshaken Voices releases Tuesday.
In this first episode, Ryan and I have an honest conversation about what it’s really like to live with bipolar disorder from both sides. We talk about how mania can dramatically change behavior, how painful and confusing that can be for a spouse to witness, and the difference between who a person truly is and what mental illness can do.
This episode touches on marriage, faith, love, patience, and navigating seasons when the person you love doesn’t feel like themselves. It’s a conversation rooted in understanding, not blame.
