Gratitude... and Grief?
from The "Surviving Saturday" Podcast · host Chris
In a special post-Thanksgiving episode, Wendy and Chris talk about gratitude--both in recognition of its power and value in affecting one's mindset, and with an eye for how it can sometimes be used to deny or bypass our less pleasant emotions such as sadness, anger, disappointment, or fear. Their own personal stories plus wisdom gleaned from the likes of C.S. Lewis, "soul-centered psychotherapist" Francis Weller, and the band Caedmon's Call inform a conversation about the interrelationship among gratitude, grief, and joy--AND how we are meant to experience all three in community with one another.
