Even the brightest summer day can feel dimmed by grief. In this episode of Journey from Grief to Healing, we draw strength from Leo Tolstoy’s profound reminder that the human spirit holds a light no darkness can extinguish. Through reflection, encouragement, and a little sunshine from San Antonio, we explore how even in our hardest moments, hope survives. Your inner flame is still burning—and it’s strong enough to lead you home.💡

5 Points to Ponder

• Grief can blind us even to beauty—but beauty remains, waiting to be seen again.
• Leo Tolstoy believed in an inner brilliance that darkness cannot destroy.
• The human spirit is not fragile—it’s fire-tested, luminous, and quietly persistent.
• Even the tiniest spark of hope can be a guiding light in overwhelming sorrow.
• You are not your pain; you are the keeper of a resilient and radiant flame.
