| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, welcome back to the Hearing Jesus podcast. I'm your host, Rachel Grohl. Today, I need to be honest, |
| 0:09.0 | I sat down to record the next week's worth of episodes, and I am in a headspace that it's proving to be a little difficult. |
| 0:19.0 | And I felt like I should probably just record about what I'm |
| 0:22.4 | going through right now because one of the things that I think I hope to always bring to the |
| 0:27.6 | table is vulnerability and honesty. And it kind of felt dishonest to just keep going as if nothing |
| 0:34.8 | can happen when I'm in a space that's really impacting my life. And I think that |
| 0:40.3 | this time of year, it's probably affecting a lot of you. And so today I just want to talk a little |
| 0:45.7 | bit about grief and not even necessarily the grief over a death, but grief over a loss. And |
| 0:54.1 | and the reason why I say that is this is the time |
| 0:56.9 | of year where we, if you're a parent, do a lot of sending off. And whether that is a kindergartner |

| 1:13.6 | my first daughter to college. I think it's something that we don't talk about a lot. And I've |
| 1:20.8 | talked about grief before, but one of the things I notice about grief, and even if it's a grief |
| 1:25.8 | over somebody that you were incredibly close to, |
| 1:28.6 | there seems to be like a socially acceptable amount of time that you're allowed to grieve or even a |
| 1:35.1 | certain way that you're expected to grieve. And if you go outside those norms, then it's really |
| 1:41.3 | difficult. People don't know what to do with it. |
| 1:49.6 | And I don't even, I say the term norms very loosely because I don't think it's normal. |
| 1:54.5 | I don't think it's normal to be grieving and to just pretend like everything's fine. |
| 1:57.2 | I don't think it's normal to be grieving and just stuff it down. |
| 2:03.8 | I think the more normal thing would be the way that God created us to do is actually grieve, to actually mourn. And so I thought it might be helpful to share a little bit of my experience |
| 2:10.4 | and some of the scriptures that are really helping me in case you're in this similar place. And I think |
