Join host Beth in a poignant episode of Radiant In Real Life, where she sheds light on the process of grieving. She artfully reminds us that "healing takes time, but time does not heal in and of itself." It requires deliberate effort and intentionality to traverse the nonlinear journey of grief.
With wisdom, Beth likens grief to a challenging swamp that we must navigate, a terrain that is far from clear or quick. She warns about the word "should," as it often carries the weight of shame. Beth encourages us to approach grief through a nonjudgmental lens, extending compassion to ourselves and others.
Drawing from her knowledge from trauma-informed courses, Beth describes grief as three distinct neighborhoods that we must travel through on our journey. She underscores the importance of not suppressing our emotions, emphasizing the need to grieve our losses authentically.
Beth's insights extend to supporting those who are grieving. Instead of offering clichéd Christianese platitudes, she advocates for active listening and removing common responsibilities from the grieving person's plate. She introduces the transformative power of writing a lament, providing a guide on social media for those seeking this therapeutic outlet.
In this deeply moving episode, Beth offers guidance and solace to anyone grappling with grief. Her wisdom will equip you to navigate this complex and transformative journey with empathy, grace, and healing.
