In today's episode we explore what it means to experience grief in a time of anticipation of joy. With thanks for an article by Hayley Wachdorf.
Did you ever feel a profound sense of loneliness and sorrow amid the festive cheer of Advent? You're not alone. Many of us grapple with the paradox of Advent – a time of waiting, filled with both joy and grief. The world around us is ablaze with the glow of celebration, while the heart within struggles with loss and pain. But remember, the Advent season symbolizes a beacon of hope. As the candles on the Advent wreath are lit, we're reminded of the powerful belief that the light of Christ shines bright, even in the darkest corners of our souls.
