Walking Out Your Faith During Illness, Cancer and Grief with Tricia Goyer

by Michelle Nietert

Today on the podcast, Tricia Goyer, author of 70 books including her latest Walk It Out joins me as we talk about illness, grief and walking beside someone as they enter heaven. We focus on Chapter 4 in her latest book and discuss the passing of her grandfather and the recent loss of my sister in law who died of breast cancer this past year. Topics include the stages of grief, what grief feels like and how can cope during times of loss. We also address ways parents can help children cope with illness and grief when it occurs in the family.

I also wrote a blog post on Tricia‘s website regarding this topic which you can find here.

Notes from the show:

How does grief feel? Denial – shock – anger – frustration – often unrecognized – bargaining – blame – sadness – depression
It’s okay to grieve!
Tricia’s take away – It is important share about Jesus and heaven – Eternity and hope are so real!
Importance of earthly struggles vs eternity.
Grief waves: 1-2 years until grief become more regulated.
Scripture for grief Matthew 6:33
Seek his kingdom, hope in his kingdom, leaving behind distractions of this earth
The key to preparing our kids to be Kingdom seekers is keeping eternity before them.
Jesus is grieving with you.
Reframing loss means bringing God into picture.
Our prayer for you is that you would experience God in the loss.
