Grief doesn't just break your heart. It disrupts your mind, drains your body, and forces you to rebuild a daily life you never asked to change. This episode talks honestly about what that looks like — and why it is not a spiritual problem.
Raymond shares the story of camp, Lily, and selling the RV — the routines grief destroys and the new ones it forces on you. Then he walks through what the Psalms say about the physical and mental weight of loss.
In this episode:
- What Psalm 6 and Psalm 31 say about the body under grief
- Why fog, fatigue, and forgetfulness are normal — not failure
- The difference between a broken person and a grieving one
- Psalm 121 — the God who does not sleep is awake with you at 3am
Scripture: Psalm 6:6-7, Psalm 31:9-10, Psalm 121:3-4 (NLT)
