183. Grieving what never was

About this episode

Rodney Holmstrom discusses the importance of grieving losses and shattered dreams in the recovery journey.

Grief is one of the most complex aspects of the recovery journey that we will all walk through. There is an element of grief in all of our stories that we may not even be aware of. Some grief has a funeral that follows, and some grief doesn't. In this episode, RodneyHolmstrom, global field, director of Celebrate recovery, will unpack and help us understand how some of the losses of what never was or shattered dreams are just as important to grieve and organize toward healing as any other aspect of grief. Healing happens when we organize and name the grief with God and safe community.
