Reclaiming HER Story Group – Weeks 5 & 6 | Ep. 27

Grief, Lament, Self-Forgiveness, & Reclaiming TruthIn this episode, we explore grief as something that needs to be witnessed, not minimized or rushed. Drawing on David Kessler’s work, we name grief as a courageous act of truth—especially in the aftermath of relational and spiritual trauma.We talk about the many invisible losses survivors often carry: loss of safety, identity, time, dreams, relationships, faith communities, and parts of ourselves we had to abandon to survive.You’ll hear about:The five stages of grief (Kübler-Ross) and why they aren’t linearHow unprocessed grief lives in the bodyLament as a biblical and cultural practice of truth-telling with GodWhy grief is not weakness—but part of healingIn the second half, we move into Week 6 themes:Self-forgiveness as releasing shame and misplaced blameWhy forgiveness is not the same as reconciliationHow forgiveness requires truth, not denialReclaiming your story from shame and false narrativesThis episode includes reflection questions, gentle somatic practices, and a guided lament to help you name what was lost—without pressure to “move on.”Takeaway:Grief is not a setback. Lament honors what was never allowed to be spoken. Truth restores dignity and freedom.Grief.comJoin the 8-week Online Reclaiming HER Story GroupConnect with Robrenna:[email protected]: Reclaiming HER ResilienceInstagram: Reclaiming_HER_ResilienceEdited by Stephen R.
