Grieving the Living: Navigating the Emotions of Absent Loved Ones

When we have loved ones that are alive and absent from our lives for whatever reason, navigating the emotions surrounding them can be daunting.  How do we love them? Is it your fault they're broken?  Am I grieving them even though they're alive?   Should I forgive them no matter what?  These are just some of the tough subjects we tackle on this episode of The 813 Discussion.If you are stuck in the situation you are in and need help moving forward, please reach out to Samantha or Pastor Paul.  If you or someone you know is suffering from mental issues, or is suicidal, there are people standing by to help you!Call National Helpline for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services: 1-800-662-HELP (4357)National Alliance on Mental Illness: 1-800-950-NAMI (6264)If you want to reach out to us for prayer, questions about this podcast, comments, or requests for future shows you can email us at the following addresses:  [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] This show is sponsored by Hope Learning Academy and Fore Ellie Clothing.  Please support both! and consider making a donation to Hope Learning Academy, supporting the important work of helping at-risk youth apply the tools we share in our podcast to their lives.  To donate to Hope Learning Academy click on the link or copy and paste to your browser: https://hope4youtoday.givingfuel.com/hope-learning-academy-family-alumni-foundationTo shop at Fore Ellie, click on the link or copy and paste to your browser:https://www.foreellie.com/Music clips heard during this podcast:Artist Name: Trooper MusicSong Name: Sunray (Instrumental)License #: 7407019233Music clips heard during this podcast:Artist Name: Trooper MusicSong Name: Sunray (Instrumental)License #: 7407019233
