A toxic relationship is one that makes you feel unsupported, misunderstood, demeaned, or attacked. On a basic level, any relationship that makes you feel worse rather than better can become toxic over time. These relationships are unhealthy physically and mentally to not only those in it but to those close to it. 

Relationships should be reciprocal. You should be able to receive the love, affection, and support that is given. If this is not being done, reevaluate.

                                                                          1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.“

Key Takeaways:

• It's Imperative to know God as a father.
• Love does not hurt.
• Trust in God's love for you.
• God convicts. He does not condemn.

Regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, social status, or religious affiliation, we all have one thing in common: we will experience loss. Whether it be a spouse, parent, distant relative, or close friend, we will all have to say goodbye to someone we love at some point in our life. The loss of an individual does not have as much of an effect on our lives as does our response to the loss. Can we continue life after this tragedy or will our lives die with them?

In this episode, I speak with friend and fellow flame sister Lakishama Lewis as she discusses how she navigates life after the loss of her one and only son, Keelien. 

PSALM 34:18

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

Key Takeaways:

• God will provide peace through all storms
• God instructs us to forgive
• Move forward not move on
• Focus of Self-Care
• Find a support system
