Faith and Grief. Hope and Sorrow. Confusion and Surrender. These are some of the varied emotions you feel when you know the Lord and experience loss. Hope, a dear friend of ours, shares her story on her journey through grief with the loss of her mom at such a young age. We get deep and raw in this episode and ask all of the questions you probably have never had the opportunity to ask a griever. She offers great advice for those in the beginning of their grieving journey, those years in, as well as wisdom for those supporting a griever. If you're like me, maybe you feel at a loss for words when someone close to you experiences a great loss and if you do, you aren't alone. You have come to the right place! Hope walks us through what her community did, said, and continues to do that has been a source of healing for her. We tackle the hard reality of loss and how to keep faith in the lowest of lows but also the fact that GOD is not afraid of our hard questions or even our momentary anger in these difficult moments. Overall, I think this is our best episode yet and I KNOW you will think so too! If you have questions you would like to ask Hope directly she left us with her email: [email protected]. Please reach out to her for questions or to THANK her for the episode!
