I have not been able to read the Grief Handbook in awhile but I have been able to reflect on grief plus I have been trying this emotional wheel to help manage my emotions! I also have been on journey of surrendering every little thing to the Lord and trying to deepen my trust in Him! Recently when surrendering things to the Lord, letting go of the situation/ emotions then putting my trust in the Lord I realized that it could technically be considered grief! For example if you had a desire for something but then it did not happen when you are releasing it to the Lord you are releasing your emotions which I believe includes grieving that it did not work out as you wanted! I don’t know if this makes sense or if I am maybe misunderstanding grief please correct me haha

I just got the book in the mail 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I am excited to read it!!!!!!!!

A revelation that I am trying to live out is that in the Kingdom we are not called to control human beings but also giving boundaries so I am trying to navigate how to do that with my son who is 2 years old! Is anyone a parent here that has wisdom in this that I can learn from? For example I go to many environments where there a lot of kids and there are times when our son is more aggressive than usual to the point of biting! He has gotten a lot better but it is still something he does! Would love someone to speak into this!

Any thoughts?

I definitely feel like I need to continue shifting my mindset when it comes to grief because I still naturally think of death PLUS someone who I use to consider as a mentor for a little bit I feel like all she talked about grieving her past husband in result I did not have as much compassion as I usually would when it comes to talk of death because I saw it as people who are grieving are people who are not willing to let go of things!
