Grief can feel isolating, but it is an opportunity to experience deeper richness in relationships—with God, with family, and with friends. Kelley learned this lesson first-hand with the rapid decline, and death, of her husband from CTE dementia. Initially ignoring her grief, Kelley found freedom as she began to open up to others, and experienced God-sized miracles along the way.

While podcasts, articles, and sermons can be helpful for understanding and processing grief, there is nothing quite as powerful as a Grief Group. In this episode, Kelley takes listeners behind the curtain on everything Grief Groups—from why they exist, to the role they’ve played in her own life, to what you’ll actually experience when you show up for one. You don’t have to go it alone. Whether your loss is recent, or in the distant past, a Grief Group has the power to rewrite your story around grief. 

If you’ve ever considered joining a Grief Group, now is the time. Find more information about current and future offerings, both live and online, [here](https://my.crossroads.net/groups/typedetail/1042).

What Really Happens at a Grief Group (and How Do I Know If I Need It)?

Suffering can be disorienting, confusing, and overwhelming—and yet, God often uses it as the path that leads to hope. In this episode, Kelley and Megs confront some common misconceptions about suffering, and then point us toward hope that only God can bring. When you bring your pain to God, you find the promise of scripture is true, that He is “close to the brokenhearted" (Psalm 34:18).

The Surprising Path of Suffering That Leads to Hope

No matter the specifics of your grief journey, nearly everyone finds it difficult to forgive themselves. In the light of loss, the words we may have spoken, the action we took (or left undone), or the regret of not finding help sooner can become a weight around our necks that makes it impossible to move forward. In this powerful episode of Surviving Grief, Megs and Kelley discuss the need everyone has for forgiveness, the freedom that is available, and practical steps we can take to move toward it. Jesus paid for your freedom, even in grief you can claim it.
