#143: Grief is a Real Journey - It's Okay (Replay)

On the podcast today, we are sharing a God and Therapy Podcast favorite- Grief is a Real Journey - It's Okay Today's episode was originally aired on Jun 23, 2025. On this episode, Dr. Cheryl Hardy talks about grief. Grief is an emotion that everyone will face in this beautiful journey of life. It's okay to allow yourself to feel the grief and let it flow through your body as you process and deal with the feeling.   We suffer from so many different types of loss, and how we manage our emotions and monitor them is important. So many people run from grief and sadness while living in denial, as the delayed grief races through their mind and body.  Allow yourself to feel the loss of opportunity, the loss of a job, the loss of partnerships, and the loss of marriage, and yes, it can happen to anyone. As you face the sadness of life, take the time to caress and nurture the grief as you learn that grief is normal, grief is real, and it's a lifetime journey. Today, choose to embrace the loss and nurture the feelings. It's okay not to be ok. Believe that God will make it work for you. Psalm 31: 9 - Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted from grief; my soul and my body also. We are looking forward to you being a part of the God and Therapy Community.
