Finding Beauty in Death; Grieving Barbara, Part 3 (Episode 14)
Grief is a process. It's a thing that establishes and restores us. When you are grieving, it is important for you to find ways to cope with your loss and deal with the pain that comes along with it. You can do this by talking about their feelings, sharing thoughts and memories, as well as finding support from friends and family members.
Relying on God will also help you find peace and restoration even when you are going through difficult times. We’re all human, and we go through different stages. Allowing yourself to feel the pain and sorrow, rather than numbing it with drugs or alcohol, will lead to healing.
Join the conversation with me, Lisa, and my friend Dr. Lidia Martinez as we share how to find the beauty of death, the importance of going through the grieving process, and relying on God for comfort and strength. Dr. Martinez is a licensed mental health counselor, a marriage and family therapist, and a certified master’s level addiction professional.
