17 | Catholic Identity After Loss: Who Am I Now?
from Spiritual ICU | Catholic, Grief, Guilt, Loss, Healing · host Aloisia & Kalala Toilolo - Catholic Grief Mentors
In this episode of Spiritual ICU, Aloisia (Sia) and Kalala reflect on identity after loss and what remains when roles, relationships, and familiarity are stripped away. Rooted in John 20:11–18, they walk through Mary Magdalene at the tomb—grieving, searching, and unable to recognize Jesus until He calls her by name. They unpack how this moment reveals a deeper truth: identity is not built on what we do or who we lose, but on who we belong to. Kalala shares the personal impact of losing her brother and how grief can remove spaces where identity once felt secure—childhood memories, shared experiences, and even physical reminders. Together, they wrestle with Jesus’ words, “do not cling,” and what it means to release what we’re holding onto while still honoring love and memory. They also reflect on how grief can cloud clarity, how focusing on loss can lead to despair, and why returning to Scripture and the voice of God becomes the anchor that steadies the soul. If you are walking through grief, identity shifts, or feeling lost after loss, this episode is a reminder: you are still known, still called, and still sent.
