Time doesn’t heal, it teaches: living with loss

from Sincerely, Self · host Lexi Benitez

In this heartfelt episode of Sincerely Self, Lexi opens up about her personal journey with grief following the loss of her great-grandma and uncle. She shares how grief doesn’t simply disappear with time—but instead becomes something we learn to live alongside.   Lexi speaks candidly about the guilt, the anger, and the moments of comfort she’s experienced, including powerful signs from her loved ones that reminded her she’s never truly alone. From white butterflies to unexpected messages, these moments brought her peace and a deeper connection with both God and her loved ones in spirit.   This episode is a reminder that grief doesn’t follow a timeline and that it’s okay to still feel the weight of loss years later. Lexi also shares ways to honor loved ones, channel grief into purpose, and find strength in continuing to live fully for those who can no longer be here.   ✨ Topics Covered:   Why time doesn’t erase grief, but shifts our relationship with it The pressure to “move on” versus accepting lifelong grief Anger at God and the path back to faith and comfort Signs from loved ones that bring peace and reassurance Turning grief into motivation and honoring those we’ve lost If you’ve ever felt alone in your grief, this episode is here to remind you—you’re not.
