Bonus: Book Study from Rebecca Maxwell Jesus and Your Mental Health: Grief: What Do I do now, Jesus?

Grief changes everything. It doesn’t just take what you lost. It shakes your safety, your identity, your faith, and sometimes even your picture of Jesus.In this bonus episode from my book study on Jesus and Your Mental Health by Rebecca Maxwell, we sit gently with one of the most tender questions a hurting heart can ask: What do I do now, Jesus?Whether your grief comes from betrayal, infidelity, addiction, death, divorce, a shattered dream, or the loss of the life you thought you would have, this conversation is for you. Grief is not weakness. It is the evidence that something sacred mattered. And ignoring it does not make it disappear.In this episode, I walk you through:• Why grief feels disorienting and destabilizing• How grief impacts your nervous system, attachment, and faith• What Jesus actually does in the presence of sorrow• The difference between spiritual bypassing and true faith-based healing• Practical ways to sit with your pain without being consumed by itWe talk honestly about the tension between trusting God and still feeling devastated. We explore how Jesus meets us in lament, not just in victory. And we gently untangle the shame that often comes with “not being okay.”If you are in the thick of loss and wondering how to move forward without pretending you’re fine, this episode will remind you that you are not crazy, you are not faithless, and you are not alone.Grief may have broken something open in you. But Jesus is not afraid of broken places. He draws near to them.Take a breath. Press play. Let’s sit in this together.Resources for Betrayal Trauma Recovery, Infidelity Healing & Marriage RestorationIf you’re navigating betrayal trauma, infidelity, sexual addiction, or the painful aftermath of a broken marriage, these resources are here to support you.Betrayal Trauma Therapy & Couples Intensives in FloridaRoot to Bloom Therapy specializes in betrayal trauma recovery, infidelity healing, sexual addiction treatment, and therapeutic disclosures.Tesa Saulmon, LMHC, CSAT provides:* In-person therapy in Pensacola, Florida* Therapeutic disclosures and intensives in Jacksonville, Florida* Telehealth counseling throughout Florida* Faith-based marriage counseling and Christian betrayal trauma supportLearn more:
