Grief is like a workout—it is painful, exhausting, and requires endurance. But just like time in the gym builds strength, grief can lead to growth when we embrace the process.

As we navigate grief, let us trust that growth is happening, even when we cannot see it. Spring is coming, and with it, hope and renewal.

In this episode, Lori Apon shares key lessons from her gym experience that parallel the journey of grief. Through personal stories and biblical encouragement, she reminds us that while suffering is hard, it is not wasted. God is present, shaping us and our children through every season of pain.

Key Takeaways:

• Do not waste your time in the valley. God has treasures to reveal even in the darkest seasons.
• Pace yourself. Grief is exhausting—be gentle with yourself and your children.
• Perspective and focus matter. Avoid comparison and keep your eyes on God.
• Coaching and support are crucial. Surround yourself with those who understand and can offer encouragement.
