*Trigger warning: This podcast talks about death, grief, with some mention of suicide.
This week, our podcast team was honored with the wisdom of guest, Tiela Creekmore. Tiela is a chaplain at her local hospital and has personally walked through the loss of a loved one.
Holly shared a poem she wrote at the end of this episode:
Grief is the winter.
Inside the colorless chill of hours dark,
I know, somehow,
That i will carry you into spring.
Where I will see you rise inside the sun
And see your legacy in every bloom
And you will see me-
Far beyond the me you knew.
This hope keeps me breathing.
But my winter is not done holding me
Here, in the dark,
In this lonely absence of you.
-Holly Rose
We hope you are able to find a safe, supportive community in your deconstructing because "no one deserves to deconstruct alone" as we mentioned during week 17. Our Flipped Table Theology Facebook group may be a starting place for you and we encourage anyone who is deconstructing or processing religious trauma to join.
