Relationship with Self
As we continue our journey through grief, the next vital relationship to explore is the one we have with ourselves.
Relationship with God
As we continue our journey toward healing, a central truth emerges: our deepest wounds occur in relationship, and our most profound healing also unfolds within connection.
The Stages of Grief
We're now going to discuss the well-known five stages of grief. As we walk through these, it's crucial to remember that everyone's experience and how these stages manifest are incredibly personal.
Finding Healthy Ways to Grieve
We've explored the emotional and neurological shifts that occur within us during grief. Now, let's discuss the crucial aspect of how we navigate this journey forward.
The Neuroscience of Loss
Grief profoundly impacts our brains. If your thoughts feel "off," know this is a normal neurological response to significant loss. God has designed our brains to engage with this intense experience.
The Feelings, Thoughts, and Emotions
One of the first and most unsettling emotions of grief is its sheer foreignness. It feels fundamentally wrong, like an experience we were never meant to endure, a reality that clashes with our deepest sense of how things should be.
Our Story of Loss and Grief
As we embark on this journey together, exploring the landscape of grief, we wanted to share a part of our own story with you. We believe that in sharing our experiences, we can foster a sense of connection and understanding in the midst of your own unique pain.
Prayer for the Journey
Before we delve into the heart of this course on healing, we wanted to pause and share a moment of prayer with you.
