Episode 15: From “Why Me?” to “What Now?”
“The God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory through Christ [Jesus] will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little.” - 1 Peter 5:10
In this episode, Kelly, Brittany, and Elizabeth discuss the struggle of moving from “Why me?” to “What Now?” in the face of grief and loss. We share personal stories and experiences of grappling with these questions and the emotions that come with them. We also explore the concept of acceptance and how it doesn't mean being okay with the loss, but rather acknowledging and facing the reality of it. We conclude with a discussion on surrender and the importance of allowing God to work in our hearts through the pain. We pray our conversation is a balm to your tender, hurting heart. God bless you, dear ones!
Takeaways include:
