Summary

What do you say when someone you love experiences loss? How is even possible to find the blessings when the pain of losing a loved one is your own? If you haven’t experienced grief yourself, you’re likely to have a friend who has and you’ll feel that urge to come alongside them. Today I brought on a listener who helped my sister Katie when she was blindsided with grief and I wanted her to come to share her insight.

Emily Honea rides a pony. Not really, but Honea rhymes with pony, so now you might be able to remember how to say her last name. Emily is a regular mom who lives just outside of Dallas, Texas and spends most of her days wrangling her two young boys. She has been married for eleven years and is thankful every day for God’s provision for her through her husband Jeremy. Emily works part-time from home as an online adjunct professor of Communication Studies, and recently started a podcast. It is called Uniquely You Podcast which looks at how God created us each uniquely using the Bible as well as the enneagram.

WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:

how motherhood revealed Emily’s selfishness
dealing with postpartum anxiety after the traumatic birth of her son
navigating a house with high energy people when you like peace and quiet
encouragement for moms with kids in the potty training phase
the loss of Emily’s father to a brain tumor and what that experience has taught her about grief
the six stages of grief
the difference between moving on and moving forward
how to help friends who are grieving

0:00.0	Bum, um, bum.
0:02.0	B. Welcome back friends. You're listening to the Mom Struggling Well
0:18.5	podcast. This is a podcast that helps you love your actual life so
0:21.5	that you don't need to run away from home.
0:23.5	We believe that perfection is nonsense and peace is a perspective shift away.
0:27.2	This week I had a perspective shift so I mentioned that we have a condo that we are renting out and we've been doing all the things to get it
0:34.6	ready and I don't know if you've noticed this with your husband if you're married
0:39.0	but my husband tends to prioritize different things than I prioritize.
0:44.3	So basically he's wrong about what he thinks and I am right, but I just have to convince him
0:51.0	that twinkle lights on the patio are just as important as fixing the
0:55.4	leaking downstairs faucet. Who cares about a leaky faucet, right? I know you're on my

1:05.6	Anyhow, so I'm having to have a perspective shift because things are not quite exactly
1:12.2	perfect at the house, but I really want everything to be
1:16.0	Just so and I get a little
1:19.6	Wound up about it and so I'm trying to like let it go and just calm the
1:25.2	dad gun heck down about it so anyhow it's kind of a perspective shift in
1:30.5	progress but I hope that you are seeing more and more perspective shifts in your own life.
1:36.0	Because the more we practice, the better we get at it.
