Still Stuck in Grief? What Pixar’s UP! Teaches Us About Moving Forward After Parent Loss

Have you ever felt like life stopped the moment your parent passed away? Like you’ve been frozen in grief, unsure of how to move forward? You’re not alone.

In today’s episode, we’re taking a surprising look at the Pixar movie UP!—a story that beautifully mirrors the grief journey. Carl, the main character, loses his beloved wife, Ellie, and becomes trapped in his pain. But his story doesn’t end there, and neither does yours. Through Carl’s journey—and, more importantly, through Scripture—we’ll uncover three powerful truths about healing, purpose, and finding joy again.

If you’ve been afraid that moving forward means forgetting, this episode is here to remind you: grief is not the end of your story. God has more for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • How grief can shape your identity—but doesn’t have to define you.
  • Why moving forward doesn’t mean forgetting your loved one.
  • How to embrace life again, knowing that “adventure is still out there.”
    • Key Takeaways:
    • Your grief is real, but it is not your identity. God is doing a new thing in your life (Isaiah 43:19).
    • Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. You can honor your loved one while still stepping into the life God has for you.
    • God still has a purpose for you. If you’re still here, He’s not done writing your story.
