You Are Not A Burden

Your worth was never tied to how easy you are to love.

When grief makes you feel like you're "too much" for everyone around you.

Let me guess—someone invited you to coffee last week, and you said no. Not because you didn't want to see them, but because you were afraid you'd be a downer.

Sound familiar?

Here's what grief does that nobody warns you about: it doesn't just break your heart. It breaks your sense of belonging. Suddenly, you feel like you're too much. Too sad. Too slow. Too heavy for the world to carry.

Well, sweet soul, I'm here to tell you something you need to hear: that is complete and utter bullsmoosh.

In this tender episode, we're talking about the lie that whispers you're a burden—and why your grief doesn't make you less lovable, it makes you human. We'll explore why asking for help isn't weakness (it's wisdom), and how even Jesus needed support in His darkest moments.

Because here's the truth: You are not a weight to be carried. You are a soul to be treasured.

Your tears don't make you weak—they make you real. Your needs don't make you needy—they make you human. And your grief? It doesn't make you a burden—it makes you someone who loved deeply and is learning to live differently.

If you've been hiding your pain because you think it's too heavy for others to hold, this one's for you. Come settle in—we're taking our time today, because the lie that says you're "too much" deserves a thoughtful, tender reply.

Earthling, your love is not lost—it's just learning a new language. The porch light's on, the door's unlocked, and there's always room at this table for your beautiful, broken heart.

My website is coming soon with resources, support, and more conversations like this one. Until then, if this episode touched your heart, I'd be so grateful if you'd share it with someone who needs to hear these words.
