It's an uncomfortable topic, but at some point you will be in a season of grief. Perhaps you are in that season now, or you are just coming out of it, but learning how to manage grief well is something we all need to do. 

I don't know anyone better to share on this topic than my dear friend, Tasha Ives. Tasha has experienced deep grief multiple times throughout her life and sought to find a biblical perspective on how to work through it. She shares those thoughts with us on the podcast today, as well as in her new book, So Far: A Journey Through Grief and Beyond. 

Key Takeaways:

• No matter your depth of grief, it is valid in your life because it's your reality.
• Sometimes when you are dealing with grief, you become what people want you to be and end up stuffing your own emotions deep down without dealing with them.
• Avoidance is a natural reaction to grief.
• Grief ignored leads to bigger issues and it grows into other places of your life where it didn't originate.
• Be discerning about who you share the details of your grief with and know that tragedy will change your circle of people which can lead to additional grief.
• Learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable sitting with those who are in grief.
• Take your pain and turn it into purpose and see where God is working.
