Episode # 42 // Held in His Hands: Navigating Grief with Natasha Smith
This week, I get to chat with Natasha Smith, the author of Can You Just Sit With Me?:Healthy Grieving for the Losses of Life. If you’re a human walking on this earth, you have walked through hard things. And if you haven’t known much grief in your life, chances are you know someone who could use some encouragement and a friend in the journey. This conversation with Natasha will give you the tools you need to process grief on your own and with others.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
Grief needs a place to go.
Every loss we experience in our life is worthy of grace and space to grieve.
Moving through grief is so much better than just acting like it's not there.
Our presence is really underrated…It's not like there has to be this grandiose conversation that's going back and forth between us.
Grief, loss, (and) sorrow is threaded throughout the whole Bible.
He knew that we would grieve one day and so he made space for it all and gave us instruction. He gave us comfort, encouragement–all the things in His word to help us in grief.
In grief…friends become strangers and strangers become friends.
