Today’s podcast is about the subject of grief. We need to talk about grief more. We really do. It is a subject that affects all of us. We need to acknowledge the sadness that grief can bring to us and also the people in our lives. Our society does not hold space for grief. We need to change that.

In other countries when women give birth, they're given time off to bond with their baby and care for the baby. Here it's like chop-chop... Get back to work! The same is true with grief.

In other cultures and other parts of the world when somebody that is close to you passes, you are honored and given ways to grieve. In our society, you are given a message that goes something like this: You should be over this by now... it’s been a few weeks. My answer to that is a hard no.

If you are someone who has experienced deep grief, this episode is for you and if you’re someone who has never experienced grief, you will experience deep grief in your lifetime, so this episode is for you too.

This episode is all about broken commitments and promises. It’s about knowing when it is time to let go, and yes breaking up is hard to do. Sometimes it is so necessary and I promise you, God will get you through it. The folks I’m featuring today on this podcast are very willing to share their heartbreak but also their strength, their resilience and their hope for the future.

In this very first episode I get to share two very profound conversations with a couple of young women who find themselves in a waiting place. It’s very hard to be in a place where you feel like you are stuck.

God has had me in the waiting place so many times, and I share that too, but I promise you that you are never stuck. God‘s timing can be hard to wait on. But it’s worth it.

The two young women featured in this episode will touch your heart as they have touched mine. Their vulnerability, their honesty and their willingness to share is not only brave but it is so helpful. So…enjoy this very first episode of “Have A Little Faith with Delilah."
