Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Heart Set Above, Ellen Radcliff, LMFT takes us into one of the deepest and most universal emotions: grief. Far from being just about death or tragedy, grief shows up in everyday disappointments, broken relationships, feelings of inadequacy, and the ache of living in a fallen world.She Explores:Why unprocessed grief fuels anxietyA fresh way to picture grief as a shrinking “ball in a box” that never disappears but becomes less overwhelming over timeThe reality that the stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) are fluid, not linearGrief is not weakness—it is holy ground. When we bring our sorrow before God, we discover we are not alone in it. Scripture reminds us, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.” That nearness transforms grief from isolation into connection, from despair into surrender, and from fear into trust.🙏 If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate grief faithfully—or how God meets you in your sorrow—this episode offers hope, perspective, and a way forward.--Connect with Ellenhttps://heartsetabove.com/https://linktr.ee/ellenradcliff--Listen to the Podcast:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Ra0vlh...
