Episode 3 - Grief: Losing Mom (Part 1)

Grief. However way we try to downplay or underrate it in order to make it appear as a seamless process in attempts to avoid the discomfort that comes with dealing with it, it must still be dealt with. Grief is one of those things in life that you quickly come to learn has no shortcuts. My story of loss and grief is nothing new under the sun, but that doesn’t necessarily make it easier. It’s funny how we all know and understand that death is a part of life, but when it comes into your tent, it feels invasive, abnormal and even unnatural. In that moment you are challenged by the reality that no one, let alone you, will be exempted from the struggles and difficulties of everyday life. But even so, we don’t go through the pits of life alone. The King of the universe, The GREAT I AM, Abba, our Father… GOD - is with us right in that deep dark place making a way through for us with His wonderful light. He is always making a way through for us. Trust Him and allow Him to be there for you through whatever grief that you may be facing. Let Him be your Comforter and your Councilor through this time, and witness the miracle of simply making it through… day by day… because of Him.

One of my favourite songs that I play when I’m in that deep dark place of grief and I feel alone is Psalm 23 by People & Songs ft. Josh Sherman and it really of lifts me up to a place of hope and faith that indeed I will make it through. If you don’t already know it, give it a listen right here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OlMGnPUAdw]. And if you do, jam it again! It’s a great song.
