Grieving has to do with significant loss and working through the emotion of it all. If you’ve ever struggled with loss, pain, or the overwhelming emotions that come with grief, I invite you to join me for this heartfelt broadcast. In this second part of my series on tears, grieving, and lamenting, I open up about the most overlooked trauma healing experience—one that many of us try to avoid, but desperately need.



What about grieving through decisions and choices of the past? I talk about that as well.



Together, we’ll explore not just the pain of loss, but the beauty and growth that can emerge from it. I’ll share practical insights, biblical wisdom, and personal stories to help you embrace your own valleys and challenges. Whether you’re facing the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a dream, you’ll find encouragement and tools to process your emotions in a healthy, compassionate way.



I talk about the five stages of grief, the difference between godly and ungodly sorrow, and how lamenting can become a powerful, honest exchange with God. This isn’t just about “getting over it”—it’s about learning to walk through grief with grace, finding hope in the darkness, and discovering that your tears are not a sign of weakness, but a sacred part of your healing journey. If you’re ready for a deeper, more authentic connection with yourself, with others, and with God, I encourage you to watch and listen. Let’s take this healing and freedom journey together.

In our fast-paced, fix-it culture, we’ve somehow convinced ourselves that emotional pain is something to quickly overcome rather than work through. Yet one of the most powerful tools God has given us for healing remains largely misunderstood and avoided: the sacred process of grieving, crying, and lamenting.



Understanding Grief Beyond Death



When we hear “grief,” most of us immediately think of death and bereavement. While losing a loved one certainly calls for grief, this natural emotional process extends far beyond death. Grief is our response to any significant loss or change that dramatically alters our lives and perception of life.



Grief encompasses many kinds of loss:




* Relational losses: divorce, breakups, friendship endings, family estrangement, the empty nest transition



* Childhood wounds: grieving the loving childhood you never had, absent fathers, non-nurturing mothers, neglect



* Trauma of all kinds: abuse, natural disasters, spiritual abuse, violence



* Health losses: serious diagnoses, physical disabilities, infertility, miscarriage



* Future losses: job loss, financial ruin, shattered dreams, major disappointments



* Safety losses: changes in your community, country, or world that leave you feeling unsafe



* Past decisions: grieving unhealthy patterns or sinful choices you’ve made
