Grief: Holding Both Joy and Sorrow

Grief is not a season we schedule, and it doesn’t always look like tears. Sometimes it shows up in silence, fatigue, or unexpected anger. Other times, it weaves itself into moments of joy, laughter, and memory.

In this honest and tender episode, we open up about what it really means to walk through grief, how it lingers, surprises, reshapes us, and lives alongside joy. We talk about the grief that comes with death, but also the subtler griefs we don’t always name, like the loss of relationships, unexpected diagnoses, or letting go of what once was.

You’ll hear how we’ve learned (and are still learning) to hold space for both sorrow and joy, how our faith anchors us in the middle of it, and why sisterhood makes all the difference. We also share what to do, and what not to do, when someone you love is grieving. Sometimes the best gift is not the perfect words, but your quiet presence, steady love, and the willingness to simply sit beside their pain.

Listen now and be reminded: You don’t have to choose between grief and joy. God can hold both, and so can we.
