Episode Synopsis

Send us a textGrief and the Lenten season share profound similarities, inviting us to see Jesus as a companion in our desolation. We explore how Christ's 40-day retreat in the desert mirrors our grief journey—both experiences bringing us face-to-face with limitation, aloneness, and the search for meaning.• The desolation of grief parallels Jesus' desert experience during Lent• Jesus contemplated his limited time on earth, just as grief forces us to face mortality• Ecclesiastes reminds us of God's constant presence • Approaching grief as a shared journey rather than a solitary experienceAs you listen, consider sending me your thoughts and questions on grief, both spiritual and practical, so we can walk this path together.Listen every Friday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Amazon Music for spiritual direction, art, and workshops shared through Santa Clara University, https://events.scu.edu/markey-center/event/332001-spiritual-accompanimentYou can reach us at: [email protected] DIRECTION WHILE GRIEVING IS AVAILABLE Art:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/vasonaArts?ref=seller-platform-mcnavand  https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/candee-lucasYou can reach us at: [email protected] to arrange personal spiritual direction and for questions and concerns.Music and sound effects today by:   via Pixabay
