Ep 22: When Healing Feels Like Betrayal: Why Moving Forward Doesn’t Mean Forgetting

Does moving forward mean leaving them behind?

If I start to feel better, does it mean I’m forgetting

Is healing a betrayal of my love and my grief?

 

If you’ve ever wrestled with these questions, this episode is for you.

 

Grief has a way of becoming part of our identity. It wraps itself around us, making us believe that staying in sorrow is the only way to honor what we’ve lost.

 

But here’s the truth: Healing does not erase love—it honors it.

 

In this episode, we’re diving into:

✔ The guilt that follows joy—why we feel it and how to release it

✔ Biblical stories of grief and healing—Naomi, Lazarus’ sisters, and Paul’s transformation

✔ How joy and sorrow can coexist—without guilt, shame, or fear

✔ Practical steps to step into healing while still holding onto love

 

📖 Psalm 30:5 says, “Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.”

 

Your night season will not last forever. Morning is coming. And when it does, will you have the courage to step into it?

 

🎧 Listen now and discover why healing isn’t a betrayal—it’s the next chapter God is writing in your story.
