Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like a stranger to yourself? Like the person you used to be disappeared the moment grief entered your life? Losing a parent is more than just emotional pain—it can feel like it rewrites who we are. If you’ve ever grieved the version of yourself that existed before loss, this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, we’re exploring how grief changes our personality, why this transformation happens, and how God is still working in the midst of it. I’ll share my own experience of losing my dad and the deep identity shift that followed. But here’s the truth: You are not broken. You are becoming. And God is shaping you into someone even stronger. Let’s dive in and talk about how we can embrace who we are now, in light of God’s truth.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:- Why grief doesn’t just affect emotions—it reshapes identity.
- How to process the loss of your old self and step into who you are becoming.
- The biblical truth about identity in Christ and how to embrace God’s plan for your transformation.
- Grief changes us, and that’s okay—God is using this season for your growth.
- Acceptance is the first step toward healing and stepping into your new identity.
- You are still you—just refined, strengthened, and held by God’s grace.
