Life is not a mental illness. Life happens! Life hurts! Pain, loss and suffering are inevitable. God gave us the process of grief to adapt to change and to integrate loss. But we live in a world where we believe we should be “happy” all the time and we have come to think something is wrong with us when we hurt or suffer. We tend to avoid or numb pain and suffer in silence. We never embrace the painful truth or grieve it. It ultimately hardens our heart and we become angry bitter victims. Although we cannot control what happens to us, we can choose our response. During this episode, Jamie will visit with Dr. Tisha Carter to discuss healthy grieving and how embracing our pain and suffering can be an opportunity for spiritual, mental, emotional and relational growth.
