The Heart of Grief

QOF 9 What's the Use in Saying Sorry?

Cover Art: "Big" Jim Miller; Program Music: Georgia Sound "Something New" Season 3 Episode 12

What do apologies have to do with healthy grieving? In our Grief Recovery Method® programs we recognize that recovery from loss involves identifying and bringing completion to unfinished pieces of emotional business in a relationship that has ended. This includes making apologies for things said or done by us, the grieving person, that have resulted in some hurt or disappointment being felt by the person who has died or the other person in an ended relationship. Failing to offer apologies leaves us burdened with negative emotional energy - disappointment, regret, perhaps guilt. It weights us down emotionally and keeps us from finding the peace we desire. In this Questions of Faith episode, Brian explains the power of apology and how God provides a compelling model for us to follow.
