Grief is a powerful force—it can feel like an ocean pulling us under, whispering that life will never be the same. And in many ways, it won’t. But does that mean we surrender? No.
In the latest episode of Journey from Grief to Healing, we explore defiance in the face of loss. Inspired by John Donne’s Death Be Not Proud, we challenge the idea that grief has the final say. We share stories of people who refused to be consumed by sorrow—Alex, Laticia, and Nick—each finding a path forward in their own way.
We also discuss a powerful grief recovery strategy: “Acting As If.”
- Act as if joy can return.
- Act as if strength is already inside you.
- Act as if healing is possible—because it is.
With poetry from William Ernest Henley and e.e. cummings, this episode is a reminder that love is stronger than loss, and memory is stronger than oblivion.
So today, I challenge you: Do one thing that honors life. One thing that says, “Death, you may have taken, but you have not won.”
