Is it okay to be sad? (Grief)

  • Summary

  • What if we told you that grief, a topic often avoided, could be a path to healing and growth? Natalie and Chad expose the complexities of grief, painting a vivid picture of this dense emotion we all inevitably experience. We compare it to an endless highway, constantly changing, yet persistently stretching ahead. We grapple with the societal tendency to shy away from those engulfed in sadness, and the misconception that misfortunes are exclusive to the wicked.

    We don't stop at just contemplating grief; we walk you through it. We take a detour to discuss anticipatory grief - the mourning for something that has yet to happen. Although a rather grim topic, we take a personal approach, sharing our own encounters with grief. We highlight the power of empathy, and how imagination plays a significant role in forming connections with those who are grieving.

    As we traverse the path of grief, we emphasize the importance of vulnerability. We argue that mourning is a necessity, akin to journeying through the darkness before basking in the light of resurrection. We untangle the concept of 'shoulds' and its tie to grief, and we share insights on how to grieve well. We confront the anger that stems from unresolved grief, and the misconception of a timeline for grieving. Join us on this enlightening journey, as we illuminate the path through the tunnel of grief.
