Grief Doesn’t Expire – Honoring the Lingering Ache

Time has a way of tricking us. It tells us that we “should be over it by now.” That there’s an expiration date for pain, for memory, for sorrow. That the deeper the calendar moves from the moment of loss, the more healed we should be. But grief does not follow a schedule. It doesContinue reading “Grief Doesn’t Expire – Honoring the Lingering Ache”

Learning to Breathe Again After Loss

When loss hits, it’s as if the air is knocked out of your lungs. Grief is not just an emotional pain—it is physical, mental, spiritual, and all-consuming. It interrupts your breathing, both literally and figuratively. The days feel heavy. The nights feel endless. And even the smallest task can feel like a mountain. In thisContinue reading “Learning to Breathe Again After Loss”

It Is Time to Change the Narrative

There comes a moment in every life when the storyline no longer matches the destiny God has spoken. A moment when the words you have repeated, the labels you have carried, and the limitations others have placed on you no longer fit who you are becoming. That moment is now. It is time to changeContinue reading “It Is Time to Change the Narrative”

The Guilt of Moving On

There comes a moment in every grief journey when you laugh—and immediately feel bad about it. You find joy in something simple—a sunrise, a memory, a child’s smile—and guilt floods your heart like an unwelcome tide. This week, we pause to talk about the guilt that comes with healing. Why Does Moving Forward Feel LikeContinue reading “The Guilt of Moving On”

The Grief You Hide Behind Your Smile

Not all grief is loud. Not all sorrow is public. Some of the most profound pain walks into the room dressed in a smile. This week is for the ones who grieve in silence. The ones who are always “okay” on the outside, even when their inner world is unraveling. The ones who carry theirContinue reading “The Grief You Hide Behind Your Smile”

When Grief Alters Your Identity

Grief is not just about who or what you’ve lost. It’s also about the shift that happens within you as a result. When someone you love is no longer present, their absence doesn’t just leave a void—it redefines your world. And somewhere along the way, it can redefine you. Who Am I Now Without Them?Continue reading “When Grief Alters Your Identity”

The Perspective Lens: Shifting How You See, Hear, Feel, and Interpret Your Reality

There are moments in life when the way we perceive things becomes more powerful than the things themselves. Your perspective lens shapes how you see, how you hear, how you feel, how you touch, and how you interpret every experience—whether good, challenging, confusing, or deeply painful. It is the invisible filter through which life’s events,Continue reading “The Perspective Lens: Shifting How You See, Hear, Feel, and Interpret Your Reality”

Lord, Give Me the Peace to Make the Next Step

There are moments in life when the next step feels heavy—not because it is wrong, but because it requires courage, clarity, and divine quietness within. When the soul is unsettled, even the smallest decision can feel like a mountain. But when peace comes, it becomes the guiding light that steadies your feet and strengthens yourContinue reading “Lord, Give Me the Peace to Make the Next Step”

The Things You Wish You Said

Grief has a way of surfacing the unsaid. Words that were held back. Moments missed. Conversations postponed. In the silence left behind by someone’s absence, echoes of the “should haves” and “could haves” often grow loud. This week’s reflection is for those carrying the weight of unfinished words. When Closure Doesn’t Come For many, griefContinue reading “The Things You Wish You Said”

When Time Doesn’t Heal Everything

There’s a common saying: “Time heals all wounds.” But anyone who has ever grieved knows that this isn’t always true. Time may soften the sharpness of pain, but it doesn’t automatically bring healing. For some, time simply stretches the ache. The calendar moves forward, but the heart remains in yesterday. Grief is not a clock;Continue reading “When Time Doesn’t Heal Everything”

When You Reach the Street Called “Dead End”

There are seasons in life when you feel as though you have walked to the very edge of the road and discovered there is no turn, no exit, no detour—just a silent sign that reads Dead End. Nothing moves. Nothing shifts. Nothing changes. You look around and whisper, “Lord, I am at a place calledContinue reading “When You Reach the Street Called “Dead End””

When Memories Become a Sanctuary

There comes a moment in every grief journey when the sharp sting of loss slowly gives way to the tender echo of remembrance. While grief begins as a rupture, it can, over time, become a reverent space where memories live—not to haunt, but to honor. From Wounds to Wonder In the early stages of grief,Continue reading “When Memories Become a Sanctuary”

She is not defined by what happened to her but by whatContinue reading “The She Within You: She Is Beautiful, Bold, and Has a Brain”

Grief: The Unseen Thread That Binds Us All

Grief is not always loud. Sometimes, it is the quiet thread that weaves its way through the fabric of our lives, unnoticed by others but deeply felt by us. It does not need permission, and it does not adhere to a schedule. Whether it arrives as a sudden storm or a long-awaited sigh, grief touchesContinue reading “Grief: The Unseen Thread That Binds Us All”

It Is Time to Wake Up the She Within You

There comes a time in every woman’s life when the whisper of destiny grows too loud to ignore. A time when comfort becomes uncomfortable, and the quiet ache within begins to demand expression. It is that divine stirring of the soul—the moment heaven calls your name and says, “Daughter, it is time to wake upContinue reading “It Is Time to Wake Up the She Within You”

Grief and Guilt – When Regret Shadows the Loss

There is a pain that grief ushers in quietly—the pain of guilt. It shows up in the “what ifs,” the “if onlys,” and the “I should have knowns.” Sometimes, it speaks louder than the loss itself. Guilt often hides in the shadows of mourning—unspoken, yet heavy. We blame ourselves for what we did, what weContinue reading “Grief and Guilt – When Regret Shadows the Loss”

Unspoken Goodbyes – When Closure Never Came

Some losses are loud. Others are silent. Not every departure gives you the dignity of a final word. Not every death, separation, or life interruption comes with a moment to say goodbye.

The Body Remembers – Grief’s Physical Toll

Grief is not confined to the mind or spirit—it leaves fingerprints on the body. Long after the funeral ends and the cards stop coming, the body still carries the echoes of sorrow.

When Grief Turns Into Guilt – Releasing What Wasn’t Yours to Carry

Grief often arrives uninvited, but guilt sometimes sneaks in beside it, cloaked in questions, regrets, and self-blame. “If only I had done more.” “Why didn’t I call sooner?” “Did I miss the signs?” While grief mourns the loss, guilt tortures the soul with accusations about the past. And yet, much of the guilt that accompaniesContinue reading “When Grief Turns Into Guilt – Releasing What Wasn’t Yours to Carry”

“Beware of Distractions: Staying Focused on the Author and Finisher”

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 (KJV) Introduction Distraction is one of the enemy’s most subtle and effective weapons.

“God Spoke” – Holding On When Everything Looks Contrary

When God speaks, His Word carries eternal weight, undeniable authority, and irrevocable power. His voice is not mere suggestion—it is divine decree.

Grief and Time – When Healing Feels Too Slow

There is a pain that lingers beyond the funeral, beyond the cards and calls, beyond what others expect. It is the grief that walks with you through ordinary days, long after the world has moved on.

Endure the Hate—Because His Name Is Worth It

There is a cost to carrying the name of Jesus. The world that once rejected Him will reject you too. The message of righteousness, holiness, and truth is not always met with applause—it is often met with resistance, ridicule, and rejection. But you are not alone. Jesus forewarned us in Matthew 10:22, “And ye shallContinue reading “Endure the Hate—Because His Name Is Worth It”

You Are an EXPERT that is Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by God

There’s a word the world throws around—expert—as if it’s reserved for the elite, the degreed, or the endorsed by man.

Your Creator, the Master Designer, handcrafted you with excellence, skill, intention,Continue reading “You Are an EXPERT that is Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by God”

Disenfranchised Grief – When No One Understands Your Pain”

Not all grief is met with casseroles, sympathy cards, and visible support. Some grief hides behind silence, misunderstanding, or dismissal.

This is disenfranchised grief—when your loss doesn’t “qualify” for comfortContinue reading “Disenfranchised Grief – When No One Understands Your Pain””

Grief in the Garden – Jesus and the Oil Press of Sorrow

There is a place in Scripture where sorrow, surrender, and sacred purpose converge—it is the Garden of Gethsemane. The name Gethsemane means “oil press.” It is the place where olives are crushed to release what is hidden within. It is also the place where Jesus, the Son of God, grieved in full humanity.

Grief and Worship – Singing While Wounded

One of the most powerful, paradoxical acts a grieving heart can offer is worship. To worship in joy is beautiful. But to worship in sorrow—that is holy. Worship in grief is not a performance.

Sorrow, Shame, and Survival – Unpacking Hidden Layers of Grief

Selah Moment with Dr. Althea Winifred Grief is never one-dimensional. It is layered. Complicated. Deep. Beneath the sorrow we readily acknowledge lies another level that often goes unspoken—shame.

The shame of surviving while others didContinue reading “Sorrow, Shame, and Survival – Unpacking Hidden Layers of Grief”

When God Is Silent – Finding Faith in the Absence of Answers

Grief and the Mind – When Thoughts Refuse to Settle

It’s the tug-of-war between trying to moveContinue reading “Grief and the Mind – When Thoughts Refuse to Settle”
