SHOW NOTES
The holidays are a real grief milestone – much like your loved one’s birthday, day of death and anniversaries.  You know they are coming and yet there is no good way to prepare for how you will feel and how to make it through.
I felt a lot of anxiety, sadness and guilt as the holidays neared.  The guilt came from knowing that as a Christian, I should be so focused and thankful for the reason we celebrate Christmas.  But all I wanted was to crawl in a hole until December 26th. 
In today’s episode, we’ll talk about letting go of guilt and how to cope with everyone else’s annoying happiness.  Sorry, not sorry – it’s truth.
 
WORD of the Week  Deuteronomy 31:8
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

212.0 Grief Milestones. How to Cope with the Happiness of the Holidays. Replay

Grief Support for Christian Women to Breathe, Laugh and Live again.  Loss, Grief and Healing * Coping with Grief * Beginning of Grief * Life after Loss * Stages of Grief * Purpose After Loss * Faith * Surviving Loss * Grief Resources * Holidays and Grief

I help Christian women navigate grief through understanding grief, growing faith and processing daily life to find hope.

• Do you feel lost, confused, or overwhelmed by grief?
• Is the pain so great, you lose your breath and feel it will never get better?
• Have you cried so much there can’t be any tears left?
• Are you angry with God? Or question your own faith?
• Do you need faith-based help through the toughest season of your life?
 
In this podcast, you will find faith-based grief support to navigate the overwhelming and confusing journey of grief, to continue seeking God and most importantly, to breathe, laugh, and live again.

My mission is to walk with you through the healing, experience the milestones and the minefields to arrive on the other side with a gratitude and peace you never thought possible.       

If you’re ready to take a brave step toward healing, understand your grief and find hope, this is the place to be.

Hey, I’m Stef.  Southern by choice, turtle triathlete, wife and Jesus follower.  I’ve experienced life-changing grief and struggled for years with the physical changes, the emotional roller-coaster and the spiritual questioning.  I asked ‘why’ more times than I can count, went ‘boldly’ (and disrespectfully) to the throne, and was confused by a pain I had never felt before.  I believed I would never be happy again and had all but given up on fulfilling my purpose. 

But God!  

Through my trials, I discovered a path to true healing, deeper relationship with God and gratitude that continues to fill my heart.  This is a story of faith, FRamily support and redemption that only God can author.  And, I want to share this with you. 

If you are heart sick, tired of being stuck and ready for real change with Christ at the center …. Practical steps to make your hard days less hard…Understanding of what to expect physically, emotionally and spiritually…Solutions to those ‘gut-punch’ moments…And, Results that build your faith and allow you to enjoy your own ‘great day’ this is the place to be. 

It is possible, I promise!   Join me today – take that first step of faith right now!!
