Here Come the Heavy Things

Unlocking Life

Hey, y’all! It’s been almost two weeks since our family went through a world-shattering experience, but these were the moments and experiences I have planned from the beginning to share with you. While I had planned for there to be an episode to cover grief, what I didn’t know was my family would be going through their own grieving experience after losing my father-in-law, Jennings, just less than two weeks ago. While this episode is heavy, there are truths and lessons I learned that I would like to share with you:

• Dedicating this episode to my father-in-law. (1:01)
• Favorite memories with Jennings. (2:50)
• Let’s talk about grief. (8:15)
• How God prepared us for this grief. (11:45)
• My outlet when grieving. (12:58)
• Communicating with our children about death. (15:36)
• The three reasons God puts grief in our life. (17:07)
• My hopes for you and your heart. (24:28)

I, more than ever, hope this episode helps heal any trauma or grief you may be facing in your life. Community means so much to me during this time, so I encourage you to reach out to me with any wisdom or experiences you would like to share.
