This episode of the StableMinded Podcast is a real-time, from-the-heart conversation about the roller coaster of emotions that come when we experience the limits of our humanity, the challenges of grief and loss, and what it means to hold the hope of eternity in mind.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode, we talk about:</strong></p><ul><li>The confusing “both-and” of grief <em>and</em> relief</li><li>The grief we don’t name enough: accepting people’s limitations</li><li>The tension of living between what <em>is</em> and what we <em>want</em></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Sometimes what we are craving is actually a longing for heaven-on-earth.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>When we step back and see our current situation from that vantage point, we're better set up to embrace our limits, release others from unrealistic expectations, process the loss and grief that comes both in life and death, and shift our perspective towards remembering that this life is temporary.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>This is our journey from Eden to Eternity, where longing for beauty, perfection, and redemption beckons us onward.</strong></p><p><strong>Even so, we live in the not yet.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>So if you’re walking through loss, disappointment, estrangement, or a relationship that will not become what you hoped, lean in and be encouraged.</p><p>And be ready to jot down the journal questions near the end to help you name what you need, release what you cannot control, and ask God for the grace to live your “new normal.”</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Helpful Links</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href=\"https://ondemand.stableminded.us/thrive-tool-box\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Thrive Tool Box</a></li><li> <a href=\"https://ondemand.stableminded.us/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">StableMinded On Demand</a></li><li> <a href=\"https://stableminded.us/highlands/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Highlands Ability Battery</a></li><li> <a href=\"https://ondemand.stableminded.us/equipped-group-coaching\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Equipped Group Coaching Program</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Lisa Pulliam"}
