Hi Friend,
This weeks topic is a bit of a heavier one but it's a good one and addresses some hard things we ALL will go through and experience in life. Trauma, Death, Grief...it comes with living life here on this earth. I read a quote that led me to want to talk about it on this podcast and it said this..."Trauma creates changes we don't choose. Healing is about creating changes we do choose." - Michele Rosenthal
That resonated with me SO much and I invite you in on a vulnerable and real conversation I have with you. Healing isn't linear...is the goal even to heal? I want you to feel seen and be able to be encouraged by this episode so that you don't keep stuffing the emotions. Feeling the feelings and emotions and having to say no to things bc it's a hard day is all a part of the journey and process. Are you willing to accept that?
As I wrote out these notes, the next day I saw that a well known entrepreneur named, Jessie Lee, had passed at age 34 from stage 4 cancer. LIKE WHAT?! It just broke my heart and I listened to a podcast done by her coach Ed Mylett that left me in tears bc I felt everything he said like it was being spoken to me. Just know that grief is a sign that there was SO much LOVE. Miss them but live a life out loud for whomever or whatever it is that you have lost.
It doesn't always have to pertain to death, there are many things we can grieve in life. When my son was diagnosed with Hemophilia, I grieved the loss of things he won't get to do and the kind of life he will have to live.
If this episode resonates with you or speaks to you then I would love it if you could share this episode online or with someone you know who is going through a tough season. This is for them! God is STILL good, even amidst the hard. He is there to carry the load and offer overflowing peace and grace. Choose to allow Him to help you feel the feelings but learn how to move forward and grow from them. Life is a precious gift, LIVE and LOVE hard my friends.
Love and Peace To You
Gabby
