#89: How Can Faith Change Through Loss, Grief, and Challenging seasons? With Erin
LISTEN NOW
Life is full of ups and downs, ebbs and flows, and many transitions.
As today’s guest Erin put it, “Life is hard.” Through these challenging times, we are often dealing with and facing grief. Grief over losing a loved one or even grief feeling like we have lost ourselves. As the seasons of life change, the idea of our identity can change as well. In this episode, Erin expresses how she tied her identity to the roles she was playing in everyone else’s lives, that once that circumstance changed- she wasn’t sure who she was. Erin talks with us about how through challenging times, her faith may have been challenged- but ultimately, it’s what carried her through those hard times. I hope this episode reminds you that you are not alone in your challenges, and that the darkness of the cloud will not be there forever.
