Hey Sister-Friend,

Dealing with grief is tough. It takes so much energy to function with a heavy heart. Sometimes it is easier to keep busy and stay distracted. That may be helpful in the early stages of grief and useful as a way to function day-to-day, but the weight of the pain does not go away, and to begin experiencing healing, that grief must be named, addressed, and released.

This year, National Grief Awareness Day is on August 30th this year, and while we know grief is not confined to a day, on this day, people across the world are engaged in conversations about grief while creating space for those who are hurting and need to be heard.

In today’s episode, I will share some ways you can start sharing your grief and holding space for others who are also hurting. This supportive exchange can help you process what hurts you and make room for healing and joy.

The activities I mention include connecting and sharing your pain with God with examples from Psalms of lament, inviting a trusted friend to share with or for my introverted sisters, and personal self-care activities that would aid reflection and grief processing.

You will find this episode helpful if you struggle with hurts that are often too painful to talk about. You will walk away with different activities you can engage in to take one step closer to processing your pain.

I also provide an opportunity to connect with me and other women who are processing their grief so you do not feel alone in your experience.

I would love to connect with you:
