5 Stages of Grief—How to Process Grief Biblically and Heal After Losing a Loved One Summary of the Episode:

Have you ever wondered if your grief is normal or felt overwhelmed by emotions that come in waves? In this powerful episode, we explore the 5 classic stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—but through the lens of Scripture and hope in Christ. You’ll discover how these stages show up in real life, what the Bible teaches about them, and how to invite God into your healing journey.

I share my personal story of losing my dad and the moments when I felt lost in denial, consumed by anger, and unsure how to move forward. Together, we’ll walk through God’s promises for the brokenhearted and find faith-based encouragement for each stage of grief. Whether you’re processing parent loss, seeking Christian grief support, or searching for healing after losing a loved one—this episode will remind you: you’re not alone, and God is with you in every step.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • How the 5 stages of grief show up in real life—and what Scripture reveals about them
  • Why your emotions in grief don’t mean you’re “doing it wrong” or lacking faith
  • Practical ways to process grief biblically, invite God into your pain, and take steps toward healing
Key Takeaways:
  • Grief is the price of love—your emotions are valid, and God meets you right where you are
  • Each grief stage (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) holds space for healing, growth, and deeper faith after loss
  • Reflect on where you are today, name it before God, and trust that He will walk with you through your grief and loss
