Grief After Parent Loss: You Don’t Have to Be Strong All the Time
Summary of the Episode:
When you lose a parent, people often say, “You’re so strong.” But what happens when you don’t feel strong at all—when you’re exhausted from holding it together and hiding the weight of your grief?
In this episode, I share my personal story of wrestling with the pressure to be “the strong one” after losing my dad. Together, we’ll uncover why God never asked you to carry grief alone, how hidden emotions leak when left unprocessed, and where true strength is really found.

Suppressing emotions doesn’t heal them; bringing them honestly to God opens the door to His comfort (Psalm 34:18, ESV).
Real strength isn’t willpower—it’s God’s power made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9, ESV).
