Finding Light in Darkness: Bonnie Violet's Spiritual Journey Through Grief

I found myself in the middle of the two families as kind of the just kind of the in-between that I would do whatever needed to do. But another way that I felt really surprised in how I was able to show up and I felt like this, is because I was really connected to God and my purpose.
When life throws us into the depths of grief, how do we find our way back to the light? In this moving episode, Bonnie Violet, a queer chaplain, opens up about her personal journey through loss and the profound role spirituality played in her healing process. After the heartbreaking loss of her first nephew, Bonnie delves into how she managed to connect with his spirit, bringing her closer to her faith and purpose.
Her reflections are not just stories of sorrow but also of resilience and hope. Bonnie’s unique perspective as someone living with HIV and in recovery from drugs and alcohol adds a rich layer to her narrative, making her insights both relatable and inspiring. She speaks candidly about how spiritual practices have been her anchor during the stormiest times, lifting her into a fuller expression of herself—from her earrings and tattoos to her blend of effeminate and masculine traits.
If you’re seeking solace or looking for ways to navigate your own grief, Bonnie’s heartfelt stories offer a beacon of hope. Tune in to discover how queer spirituality can transform your life, even in the darkest moments.
