Grief, Shame and Self-Forgiveness

from The Art of Shame-Free Living · host Crystal Haitsma

Dive into the interconnectedness of grief and shame, particularly how shame can hinder our mourning process. With my son recently leaving for a church mission in Peru, I reflect on how our honest conversations about emotions helped both of us prepare for the separation.I talk about the importance of recognising and processing not just sadness, but also other heavy emotions like regret, resentment, and anxiety. When I allow myself to face these feelings head-on, I notice that genuine sadness flows more freely, leading to a healthier grieving process.I also share my thoughts on self-forgiveness and offer some practical steps I use to navigate these complicated emotions.
