When Grief Pulls You Away from God: Setting Boundaries to Rebuild Your Faith

Summary of the Episode:

Grief has a way of numbing our hearts and creating distance between us and the very God who can heal us. In this deeply honest episode, Kaitlyn shares her personal journey of spiritual disconnection after losing her dad—and how seemingly harmless distractions like Netflix became barriers to true healing.

This episode gently guides you through the process of setting spiritual boundaries in your season of grief so you can reconnect with God in practical, grace-filled ways. Whether you’ve felt too emotionally exhausted to pray or overwhelmed by the world’s expectations to “move on,” this is your sacred space to pause, reflect, and begin again. Through Scripture, reflection, and intentional steps, you’ll learn how to create room for God’s peace—even when your heart still aches.

If you’ve been feeling far from God, you’re not alone—and you’re not a failure. This episode is your invitation to rebuild your faith, one boundary at a time.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why distractions feel comforting in grief—but can pull you away from healing

How to create spiritual boundaries that help you return to God's presence

Ways to prioritize your faith over the pressure to “move on” from others

How to protect your peace and nurture spiritual growth, even in a fragile season

Encouraging truth from Scripture to help you reconnect with God again

Key Takeaways:

You’re not on anyone else’s timeline for healing—grace and space matter.

Boundaries aren’t restrictive—they’re protective and deeply healing.

Faith doesn’t grow under pressure; it grows in stillness and honesty with God.

God is patient with your grief, your silence, and your questions—He’s still near.
