Grief is a tricky beast. It’s something everyone faces, but did you know it can also deceive you? In this episode of 'Hope, Healing & Freedom', hosts Lee Whitman and guests Dennis and Debbie Jordan tackle the lies that grief tells us. After the heartbreaking loss of their son, Dennis and Debbie wrote a book to help others navigate their own grief journeys.
They share personal stories and universal truths about how grief can mislead us into destructive thoughts and behaviours. From the lie that you’re a prisoner of your regrets to the belief that you’ll never survive the pain, Dennis and Debbie lay out eight common lies grief tells. They discuss how these lies can prolong the grieving process and share practical steps to combat them.
The episode also touches on the importance of forgiveness, even towards unexpected entities like funeral homes, and how unresolved grief can manifest in various ways. One particularly moving part of the episode is when Dennis recounts his own battle with suicidal thoughts after his son’s death. His story of survival and eventual healing is a powerful reminder that there is hope on the other side of grief.
Debbie also shares how she finally felt compelled to write their book after a moving encounter with a bereaved mother. This episode isn’t just about identifying the lies grief tells but also about finding ways to live a full life despite those lies. It’s an honest, raw conversation that provides valuable insights for anyone dealing with loss. Whether you’re in the early stages of grief or years down the line, there’s something in this episode for you.
So why should you listen? Because understanding the lies grief tells can help you find a path to healing and freedom. Don’t let grief deceive you any longer; tune in to hear Dennis and Debbie’s heartfelt advice and start your journey towards hope.
