Nights are the worst when your mind won’t stop racing! Your thoughts, which were once your own, seem to take you over. But, it’s not just thoughts at that point, it’s anxiety and fear and the darkness of night which amplifies those feelings. You’ve tried a million times to turn it off – to shut the loop down but nothing seems to work. You might hav…
 
If you think gutting it through grief or falling in a hole during grief will make the pain stop or result in better days, you need to listen to this episode. Our expectations of the grief process are based on emotional expectations or the pressure of what we think our faith should do in our journey. Grief is really not a topic people want to talk a…
 
You know it's easy to see the good in the good times – when life is going well. In grief, I realized how I had taken so many of these 'normal' days for granted. But, when life is hard or worse yet, when we are going through a life-changing grief, finding anything to be thankful for can be a challenge to say the least. Gratitude in grief is not just…

When I was going through grief, I thought I was going crazy, I struggled to breathe, I felt lost as my life was never going to be the same. In my mind my life was never going to be good again. I wasn’t a mess – I was a hot mess. How then could I think that the debilitating grief would be over in a couple of months? And when it wasn’t, I felt weak a…

If you listened to the last episode of Grief to Great day you have an idea about where you stand in terms of accepting this new life you’ve been handed. Notice I didn’t say, this new life you’re excited about. If you are close to or are experiencing acceptance (not agreement or approval) and the questioning no longer takes you over, then you may be…
 
In grief everything is amplified especially confusion and frustration. If you are struggling with blame toward someone who has hurt you or your loved one, if there is anguish because you can’t stop thinking about an injustice, today will be important for you to hear. If the ‘someone’ you have the most anger toward is God or you have regrets when it…
 
When the sickening, can’t catch-your-breath grief is in your rear mirror (you know, where there’s a little distance between you and those feelings), you will still have hard days, you will still think that it’ll never end, but you will also have new thoughts and feelings. When the new thoughts and feelings come, you have made a lot of progress on y…
 
When you are going through grief, it’s important to know what true and what is NOT true. What is not true will keep you in pain and stuck because we all know that confusion and lies are from the devil and he only comes to steal, kill and destroy and grief is the perfect time for Satan to get a stronghold in your life. Today we are going to talk abo…
 
Continuing the discussion from the last episode, we’re talking about the importance of your thoughts. In grief, it’s so easy to allow the pain and exhaustion to take over your thought life and you should sit in the pain as you need to, you don’t want to get stuck in it. Today I’m going to share how to improve your thinking (and in doing so, improve…
 
When you read the title of this episode, did certain memories pop in your head and bring back pain – again? These, my friend, are the memories we are going to talk about and change. I don’t want to just talk about the hard stuff, I want to help you work through it and if there is anything you can do to change or improve the hard stuff – I’m here to…
 
Good in Grief? Yeah, right! If the title irritated you, it tells me you are either just starting your difficult journey of grief or you are struggling right now. Grief is the hardest thing you will ever walk out, but there is something about what can be grown in you that is incredible. Now, this takes time and effort and trust, but it is worth ever…
 
Hey Framily! The beginning of grief – aka when the world flipped on you. You’ve had to see your loved one’s name in the obituary and probably were the one who wrote it. That’s surreal. You’ve dreaded the funeral not knowing how you would make it through. You’ve smiled kindly (and authentically) at all the people who wanted to show their love and su…
 
Hey Framily! A little surprise for this episode as it’s the introduction to Purpose After Loss episodes coming in September. In our regular Grief 2 Great Day episodes we talk about the pain, the pit and progress through the hardest season of your life. This second episode will focus on your Purpose After Loss – the rebuilding of your future. Do you…
 
Hey Framily! So many questions race through your mind after a death and you want answers to them because you want the pain to stop and to stop NOW. Actually, what you really want is for this to never have happened! But you’re here, so what do you do now? In this episode, we’ll address one of those questions and you’ll get the answer (you may not wa…
 
Life is clarified during affliction. When worldly pursuits become as meaningless as they should be and the presence of God, along with a passion for His Word, becomes most important, that’s life as God intends it for us. Though Monica spent most of her last five and a half months physically miserable, she lived in—and introduced me to—the peace of …
 
REPLAY from Top 5 of 2022 A new year is upon us, and the idea of resolutions may pale in comparison to praying that 2022 will be better - That life will be less hard, there will be less tears and hope will be restored. What role do you play in your healing process anyway? In today’s episode, I’ll share how a middle school Christmas play reminded me…
 
Grief is hard enough but add guilt – you know all the what if’s, the shoulda, coulda, woulda’s - to the list and it’s too much! The loop that plays in your head will either help you or keep you stuck and if your loop is saying that you played a role in your loved one’s death, it’s gonna make for harder days. This is something that you have to want …
 
Every day just feels like so much work. Trying not to cry and wanting not to hurt. Day after day the same thing. It’s bad enough that you lost the most important person in your life, but now you struggle to breathe and fit into a world that looks completely different. It’s no wonder we work hard to get better. If I had to list how I worked hard to …
 
A new year with the same pain is another frustrating fact of grief. It reinforces the feeling of "it’ll NEVER be over." But I’m here to tell you that while the second year isn’t the end of grief (and that tidbit may help free you), there are changes to expect. If this is the second year for you or if it’s the second month, it’s important for you to…
 
Thanks for hanging out with me today, on Christmas. I know you're probably struggling today, so I want to walk through the lyrics of our ‘Song of the Week’ and share 5 Bible verses to remind you why there is still hope. Had I not gone through the kind of pain that took my breath away, and made me doubt I’d EVER stop crying, I wouldn’t be telling yo…
 
Let’s say it like it is - Grief sucks! And it’s confusing and overwhelming to navigate most days. If you know someone going through grief especially at this time of year – during the holidays - it’s not always easy to know how help, so people will avoid trying. If you have lost a loved one or if you are a friend to someone who has, you need to list…
 
So, how many people have asked, “Are you ready for Christmas?” Lawd, I hated that question especially my first Christmas in grief. In my head, I was sharing every detail of how my life had 'flipped' 3 months earlier and why I was in no way “ready” to participate in this holiday season. But, out of my mouth came, “I guess” so I could keep it moving …
 
In life before grief, you probably dealt with self-limiting thoughts that kept you ‘in your head’ and overthinking things. In grief, you’re gonna deal with any self-limiting thought and all doubts that have ever crossed your mind. You will struggle with those thoughts more than usual which will tempt you to find comfort quickly in unhealthy behavio…
 
This is a Story of Hope Episode. These episodes are meant to share the real-life journeys of other women who are walking out the loss of their loved one. The movies we see on TV do a real good job of highlighting before to after but the truth of how things turn out lies in the middle. I’m so thankful for the women who are willing to share their sto…

Think about life before grief. Weren’t there days or even seasons that you can remember not being happy? Well, in the beginning of grief, it’s even hard to find the ‘good much less the great in any given day. The loss and pain of grief overwhelm you and all you see, and feel are your loss. You still feel gratitude for your loved one’s presence in y…
 
Today is Thanksgiving and it may be a day you just want over with, so giving thanks isn’t so easy. And, when you are getting lost in your feelings, it’s hard to do the thing that will change all things. I’m talking about being in God’s word. Today, I want you to know that you aren’t alone, that you are loved. Just sit back and listen as I read God’…
 
The holidays are a real grief milestone – much like your loved one’s birthday, day of death and anniversaries. You know they are coming and yet there is no good way to prepare for how you will feel and how to make it through. I felt a lot of anxiety, sadness and guilt as the holidays neared. The guilt came from knowing that as a Christian, I should…
 
When I heard people talking about Thanksgiving or Christmas, the anxiety would rise, and the dread would increase. I wanted to escape all the happy holiday things. But, short of escaping (which is fine if you need to), I want to share how to include your loved one into your Thanksgiving. I’m going to share 10 ways, but then we’ll discuss the import…
 
Has it been shocking to you that grief has been harder than you thought? That it’s taking SO much longer than you imagined and that it seems like it will never end? Well, the first holidays (and possibly the second) will be as shocking and make you feel the same way. In preparation for your first holidays, I’m going to share: 3 things to prepare fo…
 
When my guest today was finishing the writing of her book, “Cutting Through Despair: Dare to Hope” – something very unexpected happened. Her husband became ill and died. In today’s episode, Kathy shares the story of her grief journey thus far and what a Godly hope has meant. No longer mere words on pages meant to encourage others, this ‘hope’ she w…
 
If you look back over your life, are there times that you felt lost or without hope of a better tomorrow? Are there times when God didn’t answer your prayer the way you wanted? This, on steroids is what grief is. And, if this is your first major loss, it will take you longer to be able to look back and see that God never left you, that He heard you…
 
You may be thinking – “Exercise…now? I can’t get out of the bed some days.” My biggest goal was to take a shower and some days it took ALL day to accomplish that. So, who cared about walking around the block? In this episode, I’ll share how to go about adding physical activity into your daily routine to help your mood, your sleep, your emotions and…
 
There are times in life when you need to ‘feel’ God’s presence in the middle of tough circumstances. In grief, you have a million emotions and maybe some anger and resentment toward God, so ‘feeling’ His presence is harder. As we begin – think about what ‘feeling’ God’s presence means to you – what does it look like when all you are experiencing is…
 
What does satisfaction mean in grief? And what does surrender have to do with it? In today’s episode, we talk about why surrender is important in grief and how it is the beginning of healing. Satisfaction is not contentment, it is deeper, and it is dependent on you surrendering your pain, tears, your current life to the one who created it. A simple…
 
I'm here, on the beach in Mexico, taking the first step toward my dream of living in this beautiful country full-time. I'm exploring the possibilities -- and I'm encouraging you to do the same. Where are you standing still in your life when you know deep down it's time to make a move. Where are you settling when you could be soaring? Now is the tim…
 
How and when is it time to let go of your loved one’s stuff? And, what is the best way to do it? There are many opinions on this one from never letting go to let everything go to ‘you have to do it right away.’ Let this serve as a reminder that this grief is yours – it is your journey and making the decision as to what and when is something you get…
 
Some days, you will have nothing left and jumping in the bed seems like the solution – some days, it is the solution but today we’re going to talk about how to know you truly have nothing left and what you can do about it. Grief steals our energy so most days you will feel exhausted, and, in the beginning, rest is so important. But over time, don’t…
 
The reason the podcast is called grief to great day is because even though getting from the depths of grief to having a great day isn’t quick or easy or anything like you thought, it is POSSIBLE. And as you walk through grief and then become ready to build another life and discover new purpose, how do go about figuring out what that looks like? How…
 
How many times do we get stuck (or thrown in the pit) when we are grieving? The number for me was too many to keep up with. Sometimes being stuck was my excuse to do nothing and then getting out of it was hard. The times I took action, the times I pushed beyond my emotions, they were the times I was less stuck, and the pit was less deep. There will…

When you have a friend or family member who is grieving, it’s not always easy to know how to best help them through the worst moments of their life. However, when you are also grieving the same loss, how do you help them while honoring the process you too are going through? You hurt because of the loss but then you are hurting because someone you l…

The future ahead of you looks like a mountain that you are too weary to climb. The past is where your memories are, it’s where your loved one is and as much as you’d like to go back there, it is not possible. This major change in your life is not what you wanted, and you have no idea what the future will hold. It becomes overwhelming and the fear s…

You wake up and it’s like Groundhog Day. I hated that movie. The reality of loss sets in again and again. The first weeks and months and yes, even in the first year, the daily grind of grief is where the battles are fought. Yes, day by day by day by day by painful day by sad day by hard day by day, by tear-filled, by angry by exhausted day. That wa…
 
The reason the podcast is called grief to great day is because even though getting from the depths of grief to having a great day isn’t quick or easy or anything like you thought, it is POSSIBLE. Let me say it again – you can get from where you are right now (hardly able to breathe, or finally laughing without guilt) to this point – the place where…
