This week on RL Radio - part two of the Empower miniseries - Reclaiming What Was Lost
{Side note: this episode made me laugh several times while I was doing these show notes. Whatever you do, listen to the very, very end of the episode. Hilarious.}
We start by chatting about all the things that were lost: locations, memorable events, the entire marriage, innocence and purity, joy and hope, certain relationships. Basically - it feels like everything.
So, what do we do? How do we reclaim what is lost and allow ourselves the space to release what is not worth redeeming? Four things we can do –
- Name what is hurting, the pain points, the grief. Daniel Siegel says - "we name it to tame it".
- Tend to the grief: we do both spontaneous grief work and intentional grief work. See below for links to verses! Plus - giving ourselves compassion.
- Letting God in.
- Make the choice: what do you want to reclaim and what do you want to release?
We are so glad YOU are here, thanks for joining us!
- The two verses I couldn’t recall as we were talking live on the pod are 2 Corinthians 1:3-6 and Psalm 126:5-6.
