Show Notes

Our regular podcasting work has been on a bit of a hiatus for over a month. This has been due to a combination of extra busyness (both Lorri and Brian), a period of emotional and creative fatigue (mostly Brian), and a nasty bout of covid-19 infection, including huge post-infection fatigue (all Lorri).

We love the work we do providing grief recovery programs that bring genuine help to hurting hearts. Our podcast is part of this, and we have a lot more vital content to share with our world.  We published 13 episodes between July and Dec. 2020 as well as 4 bonus, Questions of Faith programs. Beginning Feb. 11th we will be revisiting and re-publishing 5 of our 13 previous episodes. These are either our most listened to shows or ones that we feel are deserving of an extra airing.  We are excited to launch into our new material beginning April 2021.

Grief is made more difficult when other life stresses are added on.  The various challenges created by the covid-19 pandemic have added extra emotional weight to our lives. If you are a caregiver, the load increases as does the potential for significant fatigue. Brian and Lorri share their own “empty tank” stories and encourage listeners to take steps of self-care.
