    Why Grief Feels Like It Breaks Your Brain

In this episode, we talk about why grief causes brain fog, overwhelm, emotional swings, and exhaustion, and why none of this means you're weak or failing God.

    Grief Is Not Lack Of Faith

    In moments of overwhelm, anxiety, despair, and disorientation, grief can make the world feel completely upside down. This can lead us to assume: If I trusted God more, I wouldn't feel this way.  This episode I explain the science behind what is happening in your body during grief. I also give an example of how we can know that grieving is not distrust in God. Grab my grief guide at www.catholicgriefcoach.com

    What To Do After An Event

    After an event we just start planning the next thing. We start looking ahead to the next day or weeks and depending on how this event went, we feel excitement or dread. This episode I talk about what to do after an event. We rarely take time to pause and reflect on why it went well or ended poorly. I guide you through some easy questions to help yourself know what to do for next time. Feel stuck in your grief? Get help at www.catholicgriefcoach.com
