Becoming Fluent in Grief Podcast: Recent Episodes
Stacy L. Sanchez
Grief is so foreign to us. Trying to navigate our way through it oftentimes feels like trying to live in a foreign land without knowing the language. How do we effectively communicate to others what we are feeling, what we are needing, what we are experiencing? How do we live out our life from this new place and do it well? How can we become fluent in the language of grief? We will explore all of this and so much more each week as we dig deep into grief and discover what we need to find our way through.
"How long has it been since you've enjoyed something in life? How long has it been since you've seen your joy?" If we aren't careful, grief can easily "take over" our life and steal the very life we have left to live. Today I'm sharing an excerpt from my book, "If Only I Could" entitled "Enjoy, Baby! Enjoy!" - words I know my husband would have told me if only he could. I pray in this episode you will find the push you need to keep looking for and experiencing joy in every day of your journey through grief.

"It's so interesting to me how sorrow and strength can be so interconnected. How what feels as though it will completely break you, if placed in the hands of God - is what becomes the very thing that will make you." Grief no doubt changes us. And, it's up to you and me as to how we choose to allow these changes to change us.

What do we do when the people we thought would be there for us, aren't? How do we protect our heart and our relationships when we feel hurt by someone's absence during our time of need?

"And from that moment on I started to define my pain as instead my purpose." The way we choose to define our feelings, our emotions, our journey through grief determines everything about the way we will walk out this journey. Today we talk about the power we have to define grief and to take control of the way we allow it to impact our life.

"Grief has forever changed us, but it doesn't have to keep us from changing. And, change is not a bad thing. Change is what it means to be alive."
Today we come face to face with the reality that there is nothing we can do to change our loss even though it has no doubt forever changed us. Our life will never be what it once was . . . but, it can still hold life. Are we willing to let the new in? How can we find the motivation to take the next step . . . and the next . . . and the next.
