What are you avoiding?
The conversation you've been putting off. The grief you've been trying not to feel. The paperwork is sitting on the table. The doctor's appointment you keep rescheduling. The forgiveness you've been withholding. The plans you've been afraid to make.
In this episode of Grief, I Didn't Sign Up for This, we're talking about why we avoid the hard things in life, and how avoidance often makes our grief heavier instead of lighter. Together, we'll explore the emotional, practical, and spiritual costs of running from difficult situations and discover how taking one small step can lead to healing, freedom, and peace.
The hard stuff doesn't disappear when we ignore it, but neither do our strength and resilience when we choose to face it.
