Don’t Rush Your Healing: Giving Your Heart Time to Recover

Today’s episode explores one of the hardest truths about healing:

Your heart heals on its own timeline — not the one your mind thinks it should follow.

Del shares a raw, moving story about saying goodbye to her grand-dog Mr. Peppers and the unexpected sign of comfort that arrived the very next day. This full-circle moment becomes a powerful lesson in letting your heart take the time it needs to recover, even when you’ve accepted the reality and made peace with the decision.

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of why healing isn’t linear, why readiness doesn’t replace grief, and how God often brings quiet comfort long before He brings clarity.

In this episode, Del explores:

  • Why being “ready” doesn’t remove the emotional sting
  • How grief and peace can co-exist in the same moment
  • The quiet ways God comforts us when our hearts are tender
  • Why emotional healing can’t be rushed or scheduled
  • What it looks like to trust God’s timeline over your own
  • How to stop pressuring yourself to “be okay” before you really are

    • Journal Prompt:

    Where in my life am I rushing myself to “be okay,” instead of honoring the time my heart truly needs?
