When Grief Comes With Guilt: Letting God Into the "What Ifs"
Catholic Grief Coach
Guilt is one of the heaviest emotions grief can bring. The replaying. The second-guessing. The “I should have…” thoughts that keep circling long after someone we love is gone. In this episode, we talk honestly about grief guilt and shame — the regrets, unanswered questions, missed moments, and impossible standards we place on ourselves after loss. We also explore how faith changes the way we carry those burdens. God never asked us to be perfect. He asks us to bring Him the truth of our hearts.

info_outlineWe have all thought this at one time or another. When the nursing profession is so short staffed, we start to think that our employer needs us, more than we need them. That may be statistically true. However, the way we show up when we start to think this way, is usually not very kind or nice.
This episode I talk through a bridge thought. How to get from the thought you are currently having to one that makes you feel better. A thought can be the difference between dreading going to work every day and loving your job. A thought can be the difference between biting your tongue, or lashing out at someone.
Changing a thought can be so easy, and yet so difficult at the same time. A coach is the person who helps walk you through this process. You are able to more clearly discern if you are to stay in this job or follow a calling to another one.
