Hey friends,

Have you ever wondered:

How do we grieve healthily AND find real hope?

We often associate grief with the loss of a loved one or a serious tragedy... But grief is much more common than we think. It’s a natural part of life’s transitions, unexpected hurts, and a wide variety of challenges.

Yet, most of us were never taught how to grieve well. Instead, we default to pushing our hard emotions to the side and fight to stay “positive” and “have more faith.”

Because deep down, we’re scared of being so overwhelmed by our losses - that we lose ourselves in the process.

Today, we sit down with Natasha Smith, author of Can You Just Sit with Me? Healthy Grieving for the Losses of Life (Psst: SPECIAL GIVEAWAY HERE!). Through her personal journey of navigating 30+ years of painful losses, she shares insights on why healthy grieving matters, as well as how to allow grief to draw us closer to God rather than pull us away.

We also dive into the unspoken aspects of grief and uncomfortable emotions, from "invisible grief" that usually gets overlooked, to managing the tension of grieving honestly WHILE putting our faith in God at the same time.
