Listen "How Hidden Grief Shows Up in Your Life"
Episode Synopsis
“God won’t rush your healing — but He will walk every step of it with you.”
Grief isn’t just funerals and tears — and that’s exactly where Carol, Kelly, and Tricia go this week. The girls sit down and get real about the kinds of grief most of us don’t even recognize: the loss of a dream, the ache of a wayward child, the shock of a diagnosis, the quiet fallout after a natural disaster… the hurts we keep moving past without ever naming.
Together, they unpack how “hidden grief” shows up in our lives as anger, overspending, obsession, numbness, overeating — all the ways our hearts try to cope when we haven’t slowed down long enough to invite Jesus into the pain.
Tricia brings her social work background to the table, reminding us that we don’t heal by avoiding. We heal by grace, truth, Christian counseling, and letting God gently peel back the layers to what’s really going on. It’s honest, helpful, and just the right nudge if you’ve been pushing something down for too long.
Things to Remember
You can grieve any loss — not just death, but unmet expectations, poor health, failed relationships, lost dreams, plans, and normalcy.
Hidden grief leaks out in behaviors we can’t explain: anger, overspending, addiction, obsession, avoidance, or shutting down.
Healing requires honesty — with yourself, with God, and often with a trusted Christian counselor who can help you uncover the root.
Take It To Heart
This week, give yourself 10 quiet minutes with God. Ask Him, “Lord, is there a loss I haven’t named yet?” Write down whatever comes up — even if it feels small. Pray over it, and ask Jesus to bring healing where you’ve been hiding.
