Hello 👋
Today, I want to talk about something that touches every one of us at some point in life — *grief*.
Grief isn’t just about losing a loved one. It can come from losing something deeply meaningful — a pet, a job, a home, our financial stability, or even a dream we held dear. Sometimes we don’t even realize we’re grieving. And sometimes, it’s not us — it’s someone close to us who is carrying that heavy weight.
I felt led to share with you *three truths about grief*
1️⃣ *Your grief is Unique to you*
It will be unique to you. Don’t compare it with anyone else’s, even if you’ve gone through the same kind of loss. God has wired each of us differently, and so we process pain differently.
2️⃣ *Grief has no timeframe*
For one person, it might take weeks. For another, months. For another, years. And that’s okay. There’s no “too short” or “too long” in grief — only what *you* need.
3️⃣ *Grief stirs up many emotions.*
Sometimes you’ll feel sad, then angry, then numb, all in the same day. That’s normal. Be gentle with yourself and allow your heart to go through the process.
One more thing, dear sisters — *don’t push the pain away* Avoiding it doesn’t make it disappear; it just delays it. When it’s time, you’ll still have to face it.
So let’s extend grace — to ourselves and to those around us who are grieving. It’s a tender, painful journey, and it needs *time, love, and support*.
If you’re grieving right now, my heart truly goes out to you. I pray that the God of all comfort will hold you close, surround you with His peace, and send people who will walk beside you until you can stand again.
And if you feel you need professional help, please remember you can reach out to me. We also have our partially sponsored mental health training, which covers dealing with loss and grief at only Ksh 3000 for the 10 weeks mental health training. You don’t have to walk this road alone.
